I hope this Friday morning finds ye all good to go for the "long" weekend. Mine is going to be pretty busy. Friends are coming over tonight to veg around the firepit. I am ready for some good conversation, that is before the adult beverages kick in. Don't get me wrong, the alcohol induced conversations are good except they never have an ending. Too much jumping around. Then there is Val and Jeff, (my nephew who is now living with us)start dancing "The Cupid Shuffle", it's quite entertaining. Tomorrow night we are all going to go to a friend's and watch movies on their garage. Again, more conversation and I am sure more shuffling. Sunday, the next to last Iowa Cubshome game and an exchanging of vows of our close friends, Ann & Barney, from Arizona taking advantage of the laws in Iowa permitting Gay marriage. Monday, the last game of the season of our beloved Iowa Cubs (AAA affiliate of the Chicago Cubs). Don't get me started on the Chi Cubs, that's a whole new story and it aint pretty.

Whew, I think I am done. Enjoy the weekend.....
