Interesting weekend.
Had a fun time seeing a Doors cover band at Venkman’s on Friday night, spent the entirety of Saturday being a bum at home which included watching my adopted German soccer team – Werder Bremen – play another scoreless draw, and failed at all attempts to write code yesterday (analysis paralysis much?).
Good morning from the pub! Spent the morning selecting hunt horses, now lunch in Waterford, followed by a stop at the bike shop.
Flight over was fairly uneventful, except for running into TJ at the airport. We almost missed the connection in Chicago- why would you have to leave security to get to international? When the gang had just gotten there dinner when the p/a makes “final call…” you scurry.
Hotel is very nice.

Top o’ the morning, or afternoon I suppose for you.
So far, it seems like an eating and drinking tour. And the Guinness really is better over here.
Oh yeah, Barb the RAGBRAI route has been announced and it’s going through central Iowa again.
yes – we haven’t really discussed it – but I’m thinking about starting in Ames Tuesday night (might be fun to spend the night in my college town 30 years later) and finishing in Iowa City (skipping Saturday). 3 days of riding.
I need to get in touch with Team Wimpy to see if they have a RAGBRAI LITE option, but I’d think they be all about us paying some money to haul our stuff for just a couple days. does that sound interesting to you?
I haven’t made any real travel plans yet, but I would certainly consider it.
Wow!
Who else thought last nights Grammy Awards show was awesome!
Irony: Politically charged irrelevant music industry awards show that caters specifically to a demographic (teens and Millenials) that are far too tech-savvy to actually “pay for music”. Or listen to the radio. That’s two strikes.
BTW: Wasn’t Secretary Clinton’s cameo especially delightful? From presidential heir-apparent to a punch line in some cheap shot political satire piece aimed at the guy that actually won. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. (Oh, sorry. “Russians….”)
In other news, we had a decent weekend. including breakfast Sunday at OK Cafe (of course, I had the burger).
I also had a (rare) flash of inspiration and am mulling over a reasonably original (and easy/simple/cheap) photography project. If this thing comes to fruition, I stand to become as popular (and viral) as Catlanta or Evereman. <– See what I did there? John can tease too.
Make it a great week eddybody es 73 de JG/HamWithCam
Grammys? If I want to watch a show about a bunch of old women I’ll choose “The Golden Girlsâ€.
Didn’t watch the Grammys – I can get what the media wants me to know the next morning on GMA or any morning show.
Grammys are lost on me. I don’t know any new artists; never listen to the radio.
Waterford crystal Tour, then another tack shop!! Dinner in town. First hunt tomorrow.
Grammys? Wouldn’t know anyone except some of the presenters- maybe.
U2 did a song outside – near the Statue of Liberty.
After that – most of the people they were talking about -I barely know who they are.
