- Friday night - went to a fish fry with the folks, and then went home and ironed the drapes. Shel did all the ironing - I did all the taking down andre-hanging of the drapes. Pretty exciting stuff for a Friday night, huh?
- Got a body age assessment done at LifeTime Saturday morning. My body age is 33, and I'm a bit disappointed in the results. Now I've got a good set of goals to reach when it comes to getting physically fit. I'm hoping to get a heart rate monitor for workouts, and possibly signing up for a fitness class. I think that any investment you can put towards your health is a good investment in my book. Now I just need to make sure that I stay committed so that my wife thinks it's a good investment as well.
- Had Jen, Bill and Jimmy over for jerk chicken kabobs and risotto Saturday night - everything turned out delicious, and we got in a few rousing games of Guitar Hero in as well. The evening ended with a few drinks over at the neighbors (or did it????????).
- Got up at the non-rock & roll hour of 7:30 AM on Sunday morning to prepare for a church gig at 8:45. Got to church at 8, had a quick rehearsal, and proceeded to ROCK THE HOUSE! We were at the top of our game and did a pretty decent job. One of these days, I'll post the gig schedule so that my vast blog readership can come and see what all the fuss is about.
- Went cross country skiing for the 1st time yesterday out by Lake Minnewashta. 4 bucks for an hour of fun (and a few spills). I have what appears to be the imprint of part of a ski on my back, but we had a blast and look forward to doing it in the future.
- After skiing, it was off to Floyd's for some liquid refreshment and a few rousing games of bingo. We didn't win any games, but it was a good time nonetheless.
- Our day ended with a pizza dinner with Shel's mom, and an early bed time for everyone in the Heiland house. All in all, it was probably one of the best weekends we've had in a long time - lots of fun, and we got a few productive things done as well.
!!!!!!!!FOOS ON TV ALERT!!!!!!!!
The Foo Fighters will be playing on Letterman this Wednesday, February 20th. Set your Tivos!
On another note, there's this new band out there called The Gutter Twins. The band is primarily composed of 2 legendary singers - Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs, Twilight Singers) and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age). These 2 gentlemen are displayed to the left of this post. They have an album called Saturnalia that is coming out on Sub Pop in a few weeks. The stuff I've heard from it has been pretty incredible. Their whole record is steaming at this site - check it out and be amazed. These guys will be playing the First Avenue mainroom on Saturday, March 8. If I can make it, I'll be there with bells on. For 11 bucks, how can you go wrong?
