Well, this weekend was a blast. I decided since I had been going stir crazy in my house on the weekends that I needed to get out. So on Friday I went to Deep Ellum and saw "A Hard Night's Day" - a good Beatle Cover Band, "Opposite Day" - a Zappa type band from Austin, and "Woodbelly" - a Sting and Bob Marley type band. They were all good. I was supposed to meet a friend there but they cancelled so I went at it alone. I still had fun. Then on Saturday I did my taxes in the morning - apparently I overpaid on my taxes this year. Then in the evening me and Mr.t went to Shreveport and did some gambling. I started off well at the blackjack table and then got down to $15 and then came back ahead for a profit and then lost it all on the same table. Then I went and tried some new games like "Let it Ride" and "Craps". Since I had no idea what I was doing I lost, that was to be expected. Whenever I go gambling I bring my money to lose, that way I won't be disappointed when it happens. I have been lucky at blackjack in the past. When you know how to play a game the odds can be moved to close to even. On Sunday I got back into town at 3 and then had to get a new cell phone. My existing one had part of the cage holding the SIM chip break off when I had dropped it. This time I got the new N-Gage QD. It is smaller than the original and I can check my email on it and play games. It is just what I needed. Then I had a small gathering at my place for the super bowl. I made the world's best hamburger and watched the commercials. As a Dallas Cowboys fan I was going for a tornado or a hurricane, but it didn't happen. Now I am back at work, getting ready for two big shows this week and an appearance on internet radio.

Thought of the Day

Steve McCroskey: I want the best available man on this. A man who knows that plane inside and out. And, won't crack under pressure.

Johnny: How 'bout Mr. Rogers?
