With Kathy gone and the house very quiet, I very much looked forward to being with Matthew and Beth in College Station for Parents Weekend. I drove over on Friday night, had dinner together and saw a movie (Take the Lead).
We were planning on running the 5K, which we’ve done in years past on Saturday morning. However when Matthew checked the website to get a map, he found that it had been scheduled for Sunday morning which conflicted with his Helpline schedule and my plans to return to Austin. I had never realized when I signed up that the day had changed. Sheesh! Needless to say I was very disappointed that we missed our last 5K together.
The next day, Saturday, we slept in a bit, went to the Bevo Burn barbecue, drove around College Station looking at potential apartments for Beth for next year, shopped at Sam’s club, saw another movie (Lucky Number Slevin), and overall had a very casual and relaxing afternoon. As the day wore on I started getting a scratchy throat. So after the movie I felt it best if I headed back to Austin to sleep in my own bed and get some medicine. Overall I had a very nice time seeing Matthew and Beth. They make a nice couple.
On the way back I stopped at Wendy’s for chili, fries, and frosty. Then at a gas stop I bought two Cokes to keep me awake on the drive back. It was about 7:30 PM. I drove back the entire way listening to my iPod – it was great. Unfortunately after arriving home at about 9:15 PM the Cokes kept me awake until 1 AM when I finally got to bed. Not very good for my cold! Today my nose is dripping like a faucet and I’m just taking it real easy.
Caught those college station germs Matthew had been writing about, huh?
