A Time and Season for Everything

I almost forgot that I had this blog. It wasn't until I saw it in my bookmarks that I remembered. Maybe my blogging career is just a phase. I go through lots of those.

For example: four or five months back

I all of the sudden wanted to be good at poker. So I read a lot of books, and played a lot online (almost every day). I am now really good. I understand position poker, can calculate pot odds quickly, and can consistently go really far in my neighborhood games. In fact, I haven't missed a final table since. I still like the game, but I

haven't really played in a couple of months...no desire.

There was one point where I wanted a motorcylce (which I still do, but I'm not obsessed with it). I would research different kinds, look on craigslist every day, etc. That went on for a few months...but reality must have set in that I have many more things to spend money on, and I don't necessarily want to fight that fight with Heidi.

I have more examples, but I hesitate to let the three people who read this blog know precisely how weird I really am. For those three: Do you have strange phases/obsessions?

Should this blog go by way of my other phases...?

Mini Road Trip (day 2)

-Getting my kicks on rt 66.

-Went to 'Pops'...it could be described as being similar to Flo's (from Cars). The food was good, but the reason you go there is because they have every kind of soda (in glass bottles) known to man. The whole front of the store was 20 ft walls of bottles...it looked cool. We spent $40 on 12 different kinds of soda...and didn't get a single Diet Coke.

-I tried to see if I can upload pics, but blogger won't let me.

-Now we're driving in the rain...and wishing we had Diet Coke.

***Update

-Davis OK is home of the 1995 state football champions...awesome.

-One more racoon and some mystery roadkill added to the list.

-I think Christie's toy store might be like a regular toy store...but Heidi wouldn't go find out.

-Scenic outlooks in OK aren't very scenic.

-German bakeries (inside truck stops) on the TX/OK border aren't very german.

-Fatties BBQ is home of the El Farto Grande.

-Home in 25 minutes and it feels good. Great weekend all around.

Liveblogging my road trip

Coming at ya from Bridgette on my roadtrip. We decided to go somewhere for the weekend and Oklahoma City was the closest place.

-We're taking the long route (because its close). So far we've had a good variety of road kill, e.g. Armadillo, raccoon, etc. And one rooster is dangerously close.

-We were excited to see the home of the national clogging champions, "the Durrant Stompers."

-Lake Texoma is much bigger than what it seems like on a map...probably because everything is bigger in TX. It's called Texoma because it is on the border of TX and OK, (creative huh, you'll never guess where Texarkana is).

-Two indian reservations down, and not a single slot pulled.

-The dual DVD players in our new car are a welcomed addition.


More to come...

***
-Went to Bricktown which was an intersting little area of OK city. They had some good BBQ and pizza.

-I'm sure this water taxi on the canal system in Bricktown would be fun...but its 104 degrees.

-Stopped at the hotel and waited for it to cool of and then we went to the OK city bombing memorial. You don't quite realize what happened here without seeing this place. The memorial has one large black wall that says 9:01 (one minute before the bombing), then the middle has a reflecting pond and a bronze chair for evey victim (with smaller chairs for the children...and there were a lot). The chairs were laid out symbolic as to where the people were in the building. Then when you pass there is a matching wall that says 9:03. It is really sad, but yet a great rememberance for the people, and it gives some perspective on life.

-Swimming is a pain, how is the pool cold when it's 100+ degrees in the day.

-The kids are in bed now, which is no small chore in a hotel room.

Tomorrow should be fun. Plans have specific reference to rt 66, soda, and cheese fries (with the soda and fries being in different places).

Yes or No?

So, everyone that I know is on facebook. Hence the question: is that a reason to get on facebook...or is it a reason to not get on facebook?
