This weekend was a busy one. Saturday morning a group of my friends and I did a 2 mile walk for Alzheimer’s disease which took about 45 minutes. After that we went home and had lunch and then I went to go DJ a special needs ministry dance at Bethany United Methodist Church from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. It was a dress-up Halloween kind of dance and it was fun to see the costumes of the attendees. I played a lot of fun Halloween music, including Thriller, Ghostbusters, People Purple Eater, and Monster Mash along with a lot of classic fun songs like Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Boot Scooting Boogie, and The Chicken Dance. It was a fun 2 hours of dance music and was the highlight of my weekend.
In addition, I had to work that night starting at 10:30 p.m. You might be wondering what do you go into work at 10:30 p.m. for. Well I went in to work to tear down a sound system that we had setup for a band for the National Black Forum for Public Administrators that night. Apparently somebody had conflicting information because we were told the band was done at 10:30 p.m. but when we got there the band was not done. They played till 10:45 p.m. and took a 45 minute break and then proceeded to play again at 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. People were leaving and were wishing us a good night and my boss commented well it’s really too late to have a good night it’s kind of like a good morning. So needless to say we ended up packing up the sound system and drove it back to City Hall and didn’t get done until 2:45 a.m. in the morning. What a night!
Sunday morning I went to church at Bethany United Methodist Church and came home for lunch. After lunch Christy (my wife) and I had some re-organizing to do. We reorganized and reallocated some closet space to make room for the new baby due in December. That involved throwing some old stuff away and going through some old things. We got ride of some junk, I am going to make a run to Salvation army tomorrow and we moved some other things around.
I then took a nap and then we went over to Christy’s Dad to have spagetti and meatballs for dinner. Now I am home and I am posting a blog about it. Hope you all had a great weekend too.
Atta boy Matt! High fives! It was good catching up with you today. Sorry it couldn’t be longer. You’re a good friend. As my Mom said of you, “You’re the kinda guy who would give somebody the head off his neck if he thought it’d do them some good.”
