Been Keeping Busy

Gosh, I’ve been pretty busy this last week.

Wednesday – I went to watch Gary play volleyball. This is actually a weekly thing. They won 2 of their 3 games this week, so that was good.

Thursday – Gary and I started a dance class. We learned to foxtrot in the first class. It was fun. Next week… swing.

Friday – We headed to see “Wicked” at the Music Hall at Fair Park. It was excellent. I really enjoyed it. The fair is going on now, so we went into the fairgrounds for a quick bite to eat beforehand. Mmmm – fair food. :-)

Saturday – We did the October Velo Bash Bike Rally in the morning. It was 29 miles. This is the first rally we’ve done in cool weather since that very first ride we did in Muenster this spring. It was in the low 50’s and it did rain a little bit on us, so it made for a rather cold ride. Padded shorts are good until they get wet. Then it takes forever for them to dry. Other than that it was a pretty good ride. The rest stops were strangely spaced (first after 12 miles, second after 16 miles, and then we had to go the remaining 13 miles – so that second stop was in a strange spot). Police traffic control was excellent – they were at pretty much every intersection. And the best part was it was in Frisco – very close to home.

Saturday evening - We went to the movie “Serenity”, which we both really liked. I recommend it.

Sunday – We ventured to the State Fair. I have lived in Texas for 10 years now, and I had never been to the fair, so I figured it was about time to check it out. Of course, we had to cheat on the diet a bit for some good fair food. Other than that, we walked around and saw lots of things, but honestly can’t imagine doing it every year. It wasn’t all that exciting to me. Maybe if we had caught the pig races… ha ha.
