Loafing

I felt much better this morning but still hung around the house in the morning. I had several solicitation telephone calls so I got up and took a shower. I came down to work on the sermon for Sunday. Evelyn came home from exercise and did some cooking for the week. She thinks she will not be cooking for a while. We had lunch and then I went to get the mail and try to line up a ride for Saturday’s golf which has been moved to a golf course in Mission. The local golf pro, a friend of mine, tried to allow a group of 88 to go off before our small 70 group so we moved. The only excuse I could imagine is that we had to cancel our event two Saturdays. The weather was too bad both times. I also cut the grass because it was far too long. I found my gas container on the front drive full of gas so I used some of it. I then laid on the couch and watched Purdue fight but lose to Michigan State. I was glad to hear the announcers acknowledge how hampered they have been by injuries all season. What they couldn’t say was that three of the injuries were to their leading players. When they come back next year so should Purdue. We ate some of our carry out from the Mexican dinner Tuesday and then left for the training at Saturn of McAllen. It turned out that not much went on except eating of brisket sandwiches, introductions of staff and giving away of door prizes. Around half of those saying they would attend showed up so much was left over. We did not eat anything but did bring home six brisket sandwiches. They begged us to take the large amount of excess food home so we did. We stopped in Alamo for gas at 2.179 per gallon and bought some incidentals at the HEB. It was another disappointment to learn that our new Saturn is getting only 18 MPG. We still don’t have 2500 miles on it so we still have hope but hope may not last long. Home to bed.
