OK, count the pillows. Yep, each bed has 7 pillows - I'm pretty sure that IS the definition of luxury.

I think this is probably the first time I have ever had a chance to stay in a four star hotel.

Cathy and I got a great deal on the Omni Severin Hotel in downtown Indianapolis.

Valet parking, doormen, bellmen - they park your car, carry your luggage, get ice for your room...anything you want.

Of course, I did run out of $5 bills after a while, what with all the tipping.

Mile after Mile

Well, I've been burning some rubber across four different states this week.

Wednesday I was in Minnesota to deliver the bed to Jamie and Diedra.

Thursday I was back home

Friday Cathy and I were in Indianapolis

Saturday we were in Scottsburg, Indiana

Sunday we were back home in Wisconsin

Bedtime for Bonzo

OK. So the bed for Jamie and Diedra is done.

Here I am finishing the wiring of the recessed lights.


Now I just have to figure out how to deliver it to Minneapolis without running into rain anywhere. Oh, and I have to be back before Friday so we can leave for Indiana.

The Draft

Dylan is pretty intense during his fantasy football draft on Sunday. I think it took about 5 or 6 hours for his league to finish their draft, but his team is set. No Packers on his team... oh, well. He wanted their defense, but somebody else beat him to it.

I'm not sure how you cheer for that.

"Go Fantasy!"

"Beat Fantasy!"

Happy Happy Joy Joy

This morning as I am listening to a popular Christian radio station, 102.5, I hear them say my wife's name. They also say, "Clinton". I also hear the words, "grand prize winner".

I start saying to Cathy as she is getting ready for work, "They just said your name on the radio!, they just said your name on the radio!"

Well, sure enough, we are the winners.

They are sending us to the "Weekend to Remember Family Life Seminar" in Madison. They will pay for the weekend...the seminar, the hotel and everything!

The on-air radio personality tried to call her as we were listening, and of course, got her cell phone voice mail (nothing new to me). After about 20 minutes Cathy succeeded in calling them back and was on the air. She is really excited.

Cathy has wanted us to go to one of these for a long time, but they are expensive and we couldn't always get the time off. So now, I guess there is no doubt, we are supposed to be there...and we will.

Birthday Boy

Tonight we all went to The Golden Corral in Georgetown KY for a big buffet steak dinner to celebrate Dylan's 24th birthday, which is actually tomorrow, on the 24th. I guess that makes it his golden birthday.

Here he is with his Grandma.

Happy Birthday!

Travellin' Man

Just to give you all an idea of my travel plans for the next couple of weeks - it goes something like this:

Last Tuesday=Wisconsin
Tuesday night=Kentucky
Wednesday=North Carolina
Wednesday night=Kentucky
Saturday=Wisconsin
Tuesday=Minnesota
Wednesday=Cassville Wisconsin
Thursday=Home
Friday=Indiana
Monday (Labor Day)=Home

Then I can leave for Arizona.

Dylan and I went to Norht Carolina yesterday from Kentucky. We drove the 600 mile round trip in my Mom's car - The Buick Roadmaster
