What a weekend!

State beats ECU and Carolina loses. Can it get any better than that?

Other than working like a dog on my day off, I had a good weekend. I re-seeded my lawn Friday by renting a slit seeder. That things was harder to operate than I thought it would be. It about wore me slap out!

Saturday it was off to the State game. I cooked a little bit of breakfast out in the parking lot before the game. Is there anything better than drinking a beer at 9 AM while making pancakes and eating a donut? I don't think so either. By the way, I am the pancake master. But eggs get cold fast when it's 60 degrees outside and they're pretty gross when they're cold.

The game was awesome! Carter-Finley was rocking. Casey and Elizabeth hooked Liz and I up with tickets in Vaughn Towers. Now that was an experience! All the food and drink you wanted while up there. And good food, too. The snack they brought out after halftime was popcorn chicken and NC State ice cream. University Dining can sure make some good popcorn chicken! Man, I miss going to Fountain on BBQ sandwich and popcorn chicken (or fried chicken) days! And the seats were comfortable with a pretty good view. The view was actually much better than I thought it would be. But it's not the same, visceral experience as being down in the lower sections.

Sunday Liz and I went to Asheboro for a family reunion. We picked up some KFC on the way there as our contribution to the covered dish. Any day with fried chicken in it is a good day! I ate so much (even though the gathering was at 2:00) that I didn't eat supper last night. Although I did have a piece of cake as desert for my non-existent supper. A true swoll always eats desert, even if it's for an imaginary supper!

Monday's normally suck, but I brought leftover fried chicken in for lunch. So, by the fried chicken principle, it has to be a good day. Well, work is almost over. So that's good. Getting stuck in a 5:30 meeting was not good. It's 6:15 and I'm finally leaving work!
