Good Horsey

In honor of Bridget, I thought about posting a picture of Barbaro during his recovery from surgery, and making that my monthly blog post, but I decided against it and am going to actually do one.

However, there isnt much substantive material for me to pull from to actually put together a post. For one, my summer class is boring me. It's like when I took Trigonometry my first year in college after just getting done with Calculus as a senior in high school. Although, I've learned from that experience and realized that even though I already may know it, going to class is still something that needs to be done. This time around, I've got no floozie in a town an hour away to give myself a reason to miss class, or stay up too late, or, or, or. Nope. Despite my boredom, I trudge on. Although it being a summer class helps, because even though its two hours a day, Monday through Thursday, the professor doesn't want to be there any longer than he has to, so its usually an hour of lecture (maybe) and a quiz every other day. So all in all it's been fairly easy to manage. I just don't look forward to the part where in three weeks we're behind as a class and he starts going full time to make up for his passiveness in the first half of the 8 week semester.

Other than that, things are going well. For those rightcoasters, according to my chat with Marianne, the plan is Thanksgiving in New England and Christmas in Texas. But, I'm setting up a conference call (really, just my cell on speakerphone) with the brothers and, more importantly, their wives, in setting up what really is going to happen come November.

Here's my tentative plan (that is, if Thanksgiving is in Mass.): First, I take of November 15 from OKC and drive to Dallas to see Motley Crue and Aerosmith (woohoo!). Yes, it's 1989. It's totally dudical. Then, on the 16th, fly out of Dallas to some New England destination -- Marianne suggested Hartford. I'd stay in Amherst until the weekend and hopefully (if its ok with them, this is the first they're hearing about it) be taken by twin and wife to Boston, to stay with the older brother and his better half, until they travel to Amherst for the holiday. And like I said, this is just the plan, and it's up for modification if necessary.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to Journey/Def Leppard (25 bucks to sit on the lawn and watch that concert) at the end of July, Janelle's wedding and then Derik's wedding, not to mention both my brothers being in Oklahoma together for the first time in quite some time.

And for the record, Barbaro is doing fine and is still making progress.
