The Weekend Continues...

We continue to bask in the glow of a truly móvil El Casa Móvil de Pennington this morning.  You can't possibly believe just how much of a relief this is, Gentle Reader.

Other than that?  It's a low and slow weekend, occupied primarily by enjoying the company of SN1 and family.  Buck, DIL Erma, and I went out to dinner last evening, had a few beers, and just generally enjoyed ourselves.  

The First Mrs. Pennington is in town as well, having flown into Lubbock yesterday evening for to visit with her grandbabies and such.  So... we were sitting in my place last evening havin' an after-dinner beer when Buck and Erma had to go on account o' duty and obligation: TFMP had just arrived (literally) and wasn't pleased that B&E weren't home to greet her, she taking the trouble to announce her regret via text message.  Erma then suggested I accompany Buck and her back to Granddaughter Felicity's house where we could continue as we'd begun, i.e., visit and drink beer, adding, in passing "...and you might hook up.  You know, for Old Time's sake."  Which statement resulted in a combination eye-roll and patented over-the-top-of-my-reading-glasses Get Off My Lawn look.  Buck almost choked on his beer (but managed to maintain his cool) and then we all had a good laugh.

They left; I turned on the second half of LSU-Oregon, which was the ONLY football I saw all day, other than highlights on College Football Final.  Blog-Bud Andy is prolly pretty happy today; I thought the game was less than satisfying.  I was also displeased to see ND dropped their opener, at home.  Turnovers killed both losing teams.  This looks like another long year for long-suffering Irish fans.  (sigh)

We've had a major turn in the weather, what with a massive cold front descending on The High Plains o' New Mexico.  It's only 62 degrees out as we speak and feels a LOT like Fall.  No complaints here, Gentle Reader, as our recent run of temps in the high 90s was beginning to get a bit bothersome.  Bring it ON.

And now it's off to make the rounds and finish what's left o' the coffee.

  2. Temps here in Ok are in the 80's today - I can live with that. My eyes did not roll when Erma suggested the "hook up" but they did get really big - like whoa! That Erma must have a interesting sense of humor.

  3. Well, I was glad to see my alma mater win, but both teams made a ton of mistakes on offense. And both teams were missing key players for disciplinary reasons. Oregon will get better as it's young. LSU had too much strength, speed and talent, but unless they get their #1QB back it will be a tough season as good as they are with their schedule. Have you seen it? Ala, Tenn and Ole Miss on the road for starters. But Fla & Auburn at home. Still, LSU is a good road team, sooo GEAUX TIGERS!

    And ND can't lose ENOUGH games as far as I'm concerned, Buck. Sorry 'bout that--evil chortle :)

  4. Sounds like a pretty nice time, I hope that the moments spent with the Former Spouse were pleasant.

    How much longer before you shift your flag to the new digs?

  5. Heh! For old time's sake. Heh! DIL sounds like a real pistol...

    The breakage of heat is nice, huh? In the 60's here this am, and due for some 50's Tuesday. RE the post above, that's some change I can deal with.

  6. Anon: you're pretty funny.

    That Erma must have a interesting sense of humor.

    She does, Lou. I love her to death.

    Pbbbbttt!

    Sometime around the 15th, Darryl.

    It IS. I had to break out the comforter last night... it got kinda cold!

  7. You'll notice, Anon, that he still hasn't answered you. I think I'd like Erma!

    Woo Pig!

  8. I think hooking up with an ex is sort of like going to a senior prom again.

    Sorry, I had something more graphic, but that will suffice for now.

  9. BC got off to a roaring start, losing to Northwestern, 24 - 17. It does not bode well for a successful season.

  10. Moogie: I think you'd like her, too.

    That would be a BEST case scenario, Anon.

    Jim: I feel yore pain.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
