Slurpee’s, Hawaiian punch, and Sandy books

This week was busy. I started the week still at home in RI winding down and cleaning up from the wedding and reception. On Tuesday I set out from Providence and due to weather, I missed a connecting flight out of Baltimore, so I got to spend the night in that wonderful city. I begged a friend to let me crash at their home, and they were nice enough to oblige, I would have taken a picture, but my camera was somewhere between Rhode Island and Utah at the time. That day also happened to be 7-11-2006 which is free slurpee day at Seven eleven, so we went out and I got free small Hawaiian Punch flavored slurpee, and I was reminded of the good-ol-days with Hawaiian Punch. I reminisced about when I was little and Dad would buy large cans of Hawaiian Punch and as a treat he would punch them open with a hand can opener and we would each get some to drink, that is something that I remember as I look upon that sweet, red drink.

The next day I arrived in Salt Lake City without much incident, my bags even beat me there. I took a shuttle back to Provo, dropped my bags then turned around and headed out to Sandy with a friend for a barbeque, then came right back. That night I managed to sleep through my alarm clock for my early morning custodial job (which is not hard to do if the alarm is silent) but that turned out alright, then I went to grounds work in the hot afternoon. Friday was a fairly normal day. On Saturday I went back to Sandy to pull weeds and spread mulch at the same friends’ parents’ house and then I got pizza and root beer floats, so we called it even. During my time spend waiting in airports and on planes I did some reading. I finished the Maltese Falcon, and then started and finished the Da Vinci Code, which was a good book, except it claims that the whole New Testament is false. So now I’m working on Anna Karenina and I decided to head back into Moby Dick, I started it some time ago, but never finished it, so I will try again.
