Winding down the weekend...WITH UPDATE

I'm all "footballed out".  Yesterday I watched (most of) 3 college games.  It was nirvana!  My Texas Tech Red Raiders beat TCU in triple overtime, 56-53.  It was a "W", but it was a very ugly "W".  *holding nose*

Today I'm going with K and a friend of hers to "Commie Con".  I'm not into the National Felon League (NFL) pro football, so I figured why not go to this Commie thing.  Otherwise I've got nothing going on today.  Maybe I can get some interesting pictures of old statues of Lenin or something.

We're still on the cusp of summer here.  Yesterday it was absolutely perfect....a bit breezy, but temps were in the 70's.  Today it's expected to touch 90.  Enough already!

While walking the dog yesterday I did notice an oak tree dropping its acorns.  Check the size of these things:

Yikes!  I'm thinking this must be the site where Lance Armstrong cleaned out his steroid mixing bowl.

Enjoy your Sunday.

UPDATE:  Turns out it wasn't "Commie Con", but "Comic Con".  And not comics like Seinfeld or Leno, but comic books and science fiction movie characters and paraphernalia.  It was...ummm...interesting.  :0

Oh, my achin' back...mystery solved!

I've had a pinched nerve in my upper back, left side and my upper left arm for a month.   A week ago I had an MRI done and now we know what the problem is:  I have herniated discs.  I'm relieved as now they know what to treat.  It's fairly common and can probably be treated with injections of steroids. Surgery is many options down the road, and I've been assured a waist-up amputation is not likely.  Whew!

Anyone watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony last night?  I was most impressed!  I was there a few years ago and fell in love with London and the other parts of Great Britain I was able to see on my too-brief visit, and the people we met were wonderful, too.  It was fun watching the tube and being able to identify landmarks I had visited. 

Wonder if they'll ever have the individual events on TV on an "On Demand" basis?  This morning they're showing a loooooooong bicycle race which I find rather boring, then they broke in and showed us the final point of a women's beach volleyball match.  WHAT?  The TV people need to review their priorities!  (Note:  the women were wearing bikinis.  I guess it was warm enough for them to not have to resort to their coverups. :)  I need to find out the Olympic TV coverage for today so I can arrange my outings around the more interesting events. 

Have a fun Saturday everyone.
