Nice Weekend, Bad Game

Friday, November 4, 2011

Worked out at Snap in the morning doing some lifting. After a normal day at work Sharon and I went out to the Country Club for some drinks, backgammon and an appetizer.  There was a wedding reception there and a decent crowd in the restaurant.  We sat in the lounge and visited a bit with Rick & Patty Roth while we played our game.  Shared an order of onion rings and had a couple glasses of wine. Went home and had an early night.

Started the morning with an early walk, it was chilly. Decided to fry up some bacon and make a breakfast pizza before our big day at the game.  We left early for the game so we could watch Annie at band practice in the stadium - traffic was not an issue since we were so early.  Although it was windy, it was a very pleasant fall day in the 50's with lots of sunshine.  After morning practice we went with Annie to Panera for some salads and a sandwich.

After walking Annie back to campus Sharon and I went to the Running Company where Sharon tried on running shoes.  I sat outside on a bench watching all the Husker fans walk by. We then went to the Sheldon Art Gallery and looked at the permanent collection. Sharon also bought a little purse of sorts.

We watched the band warm up for a little while in front of Kimball Hall and then headed over to the stadium. Had a Runza once we got to our seats, just like I used to do when Dick Dennis would take me to Husker games as a kid. It was awesome to be there even though the team played like crap and eventually lost 25-28 to Northwestern.

We left at the beginning of the 4th quarter to beat the traffic.  Once we got to town we ate at Runza (again) and then rented the movie "Aviator."  An academy award winning movie starring Leo Decaprio about the life of Howard Hughes.

Daylight savings time ended so the sun was rising while we were out on our walk.  Another nice crisp morning. Sharon worked in Lincoln from 1:00-6:30 so I spent the day on projects which included cleaning the gutters, raking & mowing the lawn, painting the front door, cleaning and draining down the pool, putting pool stuff in storage and cooking pizza & orzo pasta. Once Sharon got home we relaxed and watched TV.
