What a week!

I mentioned at the beginning of the week that this would be a busy one, and I wasn't lieing! It has been fun though and the BSU and I have about worn ourselves out with the activity.

Wednesday night was an Ash Wednesday church service and the start of the Lenten season. I didn't make any commitments to give up anything for Lent but I have made a couple commitments to things I want to accomplish for my family's benefit during this time.

Thursday night we went to a concert- One Night of Queen performed by Gary Mullen and The Works. This was a really fun night out and the band was terrific. Gary Mullen, according to his bio in the program, used to wow his buddies in the pub on karaoke nights. And his Mum and wife thought he was good enough to be on television, so they submitted his name to "Stars in Their Eyes", a UK star-search program, where he won the Grand Final and started a career on stage as a professional. Now he and a terrific band tour in the US, UK and Europe, keeping the anthems and antics of Freddie Mercury alive. So it was fun and I was surprised to see how many folks our age were there in the seats but had also brought their kids- teenagers and some pre-teens too, all seemingly rockin out to some great old tunes.

Friday was tax day and we spent the morning getting through that minor ordeal. Then to celebrate being finished, the BSU dragged me shopping for a bit. Later I bought another storage cabinet for my workshop and assembled it. And we rested up in the evening, renting movies- Choke and Before it Rains. These were a couple af pretty terrific movies, completely different in their tone and subject and style, but they were both really enjoyable movies. I really recommend Before it Rains for it's story of passion and betrayal.

SO that catches us up to the weekend but this post is long enough. So I think I'll close this one and start another- before Blogger tries to crash on me!
