According to the 3 Musketeers I just ate, the only mammal with four knees is also the only mammal that can not jump....the elephant. God has an interesting sense of humor.

I've just been informed that I have to move my mother in-law to a new apartment this weekend. I'm a little frustrated about this, she is not person I consider to be a friend, she is not considerate and I'll never hear a thank you from her. I guess that I just don't like dropping everything at a moments notice for someone who is ungrateful and rude, again God has an interesting sense of humor, I just hope that if there is a lesson to be learned that I will learn it.

Business trips are always interesting. I just returned from my first trip away from the family in a year. parts were fun, some parts were funny but in many ways the trip was hell. I should have taken notice when we arrived in St. Louis that the trip had reached it's high point and it was all down hill from there.

The first two days were in Kansas City. Kansas City is a great place, I have a good friend that lives in the area and we were able to hang out a little while I was in town. The second day we drove from Kansas to St. Louis, that is a long drive. We got to the hotel, the lady at the desk had a huge smile until she started to hand me the key, I looked at the card she had written the room # on and guess what...yep I was staying in room 666. Maybe I should have asked for a different room but I didn't and in the future if I'm handed a key for room 666 I'll stay there too, unless of course they require I brand the room # on my forehead or something strange like that, I believe they only do that for the Hotel California. Back to the trip- although I was able to eat at my favorite place in St. Louie (umm beer!) the rest of the trip was pretty much a waste. I guess I just have a real difficult time being away from my family on a trip when I'm not able to be productive on the trip, it is a waste of my and my family's time and a waste of my company's money. Oh well, I'm home safely.

note- While at the Tap Room there was a picture of Johnny Cash behind the bar, I didn't realize until that moment how much I'm going to miss that man's music, RIP Mr. Cash, you are missed.

I'm going back to school, probably the worst timing in the world buy Kelly and I have decided that it is best that I do it now, plus my company pays for it, if I waited till next year then I'm loosing out on that cash. It hopefully won't be too bad- two classes on Monday nights. I won't get to see Monday night football, then again I'm not a big NFL watcher anyway.
