Fishes

Posted on by dubiago

So, Ruthie and I headed out to Atlanta this weekend to check out the aquarium with the bro. It actually started out as a possible trip to Six Flags, but ended up being full of fish since it had rained all weekend. That’s quite the kewl aquarium out there. I do agree with Ruthie, though, that the one in Chattanooga is better laid out.

T’was certainly quite spiffy, seeing the bro again, too. We headed to a Fuddruckers out there, just off of I-75. It was about time I had some Fuddruckers burgers. They be good stuff. After all of the aquarium stuff, we went back to his place and watched some Galactica specials that were on SciFi and also saw the Cubs finish their last spring training game–Kerry Wood got the save against the Mariners.

We didn’t see all that much, in terms of tornado damage downtown. I did see the boarded up windows of the CNN building, and a few other buildings downtown.

Friday night, Ruthie and I went to Connor’s. I had quite the smashing New York Strip, and Ruthie had a grilled chicken salad. Their prime was $45!! Talk about highway robbery. Of course, I got the regular. I was quite full afterwards, tight as a drum. They have decent steak, but I think I actually like Outback more. They have better seasoning, I think.

T’was, indeed, a fine one. There was a bit of a 360 LAN yesterday, though not for the whole day…hopefully, a longer one will be in a couple of weeks or so. I accompanied Ruthie on 3 of her 18 miles after the mini-LAN…just walking, of course. But, it was a nice lil walk around the ol’ college campus.

We went to Easter Vigil. It was a whopping 2hrs 45min. Needless to say, I was quite tired afterwards 😀 It was a pretty cool Vigil…there were 9 people baptized and about 45 in all doing the RCIA thing this year. It was a very nice Mass. I’m glad we didn’t go today, though…from the looks of it, the 9 and 11:30 Masses were overflowing. Parking would’ve been worse than purgatory.

I switched to DSL today. I upgraded my plan right away so that I could have a static IP…it’ll be a headache, if I have to change the Host records every time the IP changes. Plus, 3Mb is better than 1.5. One day I might go for the full 6. But, 3 is about what I got with cable on-average…and probably about 1.5 during prime-time…I think it’ll be good to have a dedicated line, though. And, it’ll still be cheaper than cable. I do hope they get to upgrading by tomorrow. When I placed the order, they said Tuesday. Anyhoo, it turns out that running cable in a house isn’t too terribly bad…I may have to take some RJ-45 sometime soon and wire up all the rooms for network connectivity. hehe.

I finally watched Lost yesterday, too. Very good end to the first stretch of the season. The next half is in about a month. That’ll be better than that wait I had over the summer for the current season. lol.

Easter

Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” Mt. 28:9-10
