Blood and gears.

Yeah, I could have said “Blood, Sweat, and Gears,” which I think I fell in love with back when I was a kid (thirty something years ago). But that’s so… cliche, don’t you think?

We had a busy weekend, away from keyboards and blogs and even our house.

We did have:

  • Birthday cake.
  • Swimming.
  • Driving.
  • Crying.
  • Bicycles.
  • Emergency room visit.
  • Rain
  • Guitar
  • Pictures. Somewhere.
  • The Descent.
  • Running.

Not in that order.

Let me clarify a couple of things:

Birthday was my son and my mom (two days apart).

Swimming was in two different pools (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday)

ER visit was not me, or my kids, but my brother-in-law. I have pictures, but not permission to use them (they’re for his blog). He had a nasty spill while cycling on what was otherwise a beautiful if somewhat hot Sunday morning. Nothing broken except his helmet, lots of scrapes.

The Descent was freakin’ awesome. I haven’t jumped so much at a movie in I don’t know how long. I saw it at Midnite on Friday.

My son loves his new guitar, and I have pictures (they were “putting the band back together” on Saturday, we had a drummer, a flute, and a guitar, and a cheerleader). If I can find the camera, I’ll share.

My blog is pissed at me for being gone, so it’s a real effort to post entries right now. Go figure.

I went running Friday (25 minutes) and Monday AM (28 minutes) in the rain.

Yes, it rained here. There was much rejoicing.

  1. WOW. Busy weekend! Glad your son loves his guitar and I can’t wait until he’s famous w/his ‘band’, a band with a flute has the potential to rock the land! It rained here as well. For all of seven minutes. Enough to entice my daughters to dance in the rain. Fully clothed. In their ‘school clothes’, of course. *sigh*

  3. gah! blogger just swallowed my comment! What I said was:
    I can’t think of “flute” and band without hearing Tull in my head. Get them to play some Aqualung, that would be cool!

    You are now required to post your BIL’s blog address — I’m all about the spillage photos. And I’m always looking for new fitness/cycling/running blogs, too.

    Sounds like a fun weekend. Good for you for keeping up the running while on break from reality — that’s how you can tell it’s for real — you can’t take a break from it!

  4. It sounds like a great weekend! I think every rock band should have a flute, but that’s just me.

    Sorry to hear about your BiL’s trip to the ER. Is the bike okay? 😉

    I’ve been wanting to see The Descent – it looked really good.
