Random

Things that happen in my life get briefly get summarized on Facebook, usually in 20 words or less and I occasionally get tagged in a photo or two, but I feel hard-pressed to find something worthy of blog merit.... I'm just saying. Then I look at the date of the last post and I keep looking at it.. and pretty soon MONTHS have passed since I last added anything here. Pathetic. I know.

So.. for what it's worth....

Here's me.. doing my part for Washington Elementary's Soup-er Art Night! The principal is loving that extra-special scoop of ice cream. I wonder if they knew in advance my Lauber's experience. That wasn't listed under Other Experience on my resume....

Kate and I did a mini-road trip on Friday and Saturday to start the last weekend of her spring break. We went to Cedar Falls IA to see an improv group, coached by a friend of mine, which got to do an opening prior to the musical Avenue Q... so she and I drove out there to see those performances and visit a bit. Just after we got into Cedar Falls, it was starting to rain and we were driving around deciding what we were going to do first when we saw this place. Kate said.. hm.... Zippy's BBQ Shack... it's a SHACK.... food from a shack is always good! Plus, it appeared they were smoking the meat right outside the place. So, we did a quick turn and went into the drive-thru and ordered up some BBQ pork and brisket. Then we headed over the coffee shop parking lot where we were going to meet my friend after a while, and ate the delicious sandwiches while watching the lightning and the pouring rain through the windows of the CR-V!

Here is Zippy's...... next time you're in Cedar Falls... you might have to give it a try. :o)

I know.... I live right there on the edge.
