I had a dream the other night that I was living in Upper Arlington, Ohio and was looking out the window at a huge storm coming in. I could see a hot air balloon show being swept along towards the house – some of the balloons had cars where the baskets should be. I stepped outside to get a better look and after a moment I noticed a static electricity feeling in my hands. I raised my hand, brought two fingers together and when I drew them apart I saw blue electricity arc between. The feeling got worse and I ran back towards the house. I took about three steps and a bolt of lightning struck right behind me. I realized I had actually run into and through the spot where it was going to strike. I woke up then, a little shaken.
Back in the real world, I had a visit from my parents and my sister and brother in law. They came up on Saturday morning and we hung out for a bit before heading to Cici’s for pizza and then a brief stop at target. Back at home, we played Wii for much of the afternoon – and everyone got a kick out of the Mii’s (virtual version’s of people) I had made for them. We headed out later for an early dinner, but Ruby Tuesday’s had an hour long wait – so, we went to Steak and Shake instead and that had a bit of a wait too – but not as long. They headed out not long after we got back from dinner – so, a bit of a short visit, but a good one.
Except that they didn’t entirely leave. I was playing Wii bowling last evening and noticed my parent’s Mii-s standing in the background at the bowling lane. Not really surprising since I made the Mii-s on my system and the Mii-s are used as the characters in the Wii Sports – but it was still pretty cool.
I’ve worn out the batteries on my Wii-mote controller already. It was bound to happen, but it was sooner than I expected. Looks like I need to switch to the rechargeable. I’m really enjoying the boxing.
I spent much of the day yesterday doing laundry and doing a little work from home. Not the most exciting day off, but it was strangely peaceful.
back to work today… time to check the email and get busy.
