What A Day

I'd like to recap my day in a few short paragraphs.  Today is Sunday.  For many people it is the end of a four day Holiday weekend.  I spent it shoveling snow.  I snapped the handle of the shovel mid-job.  Fortunately, it snapped in the middle.  I have new, thick leather gloves that allowed me to continue the job.  That and my under six foot height made it possible.

I was able to replace the handle with a $5 shovel handle from the hardware store.  I then finished off the post break part of the shoveling that needed touching up.  The little things in life sometimes seem like great achievements.

The ladies went to visit a friend in Rockford for a girl's day at the mall.  More on that in a bit.  Tom and I hit the stores for a few things then came back and he disappeared to his new XBox 360 man cave.  I saw him for dinner and that was it.  I guess that will be how it is from here on out, at least until school starts again and the homework kicks in.

I took on the new Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 game.  When playing real gold, Caddyshack jokes are a constant.  When playing this game, Tiger jokes are the new norm.  I do fine until it comes time to putt.  I generally take as many shots on the putting green as I do getting to it.  I finished +37 for 18 holes.  The announcer in the game said "That is one of the worst rounds I've ever seen".  I believe she was right.

After the ladies got home, we played some Wii.  This is where things started to change.  I got the new drumset I picked up for Christmas and got ready for a game of Guitar Hero 5 where I could use the orange cymbal which is broken on our current set.  Unfortunately, the yellow cymbal stand on the new set is cracked.  This is before I even got a chance to use it.

Maybe I should just go to bed so the next experience I have will be a new day.
