ST, Baseball game was fun, nice to go to a ballgame after all this time. I used to take my wife and kids to games before we moved, always a good time. Thanks for the help today, alway nice talkin' to ya.

Wife started sending me txt msgs about noon, wanted to know when I was leaving for Vegas, wanted to know who was watching the dogs. I told her I'd take care of it, I'd find someone. She wanted to know if out ex-SIL was going to do it, I told her that I would use him if I couldn't find anyone else. She asked if I'd had problems in the past with him doing it. I let her know that he is kind of flaky and I worry about if he'll actually do it. He is like another one of her "sons" that she wants to take care of so I didn't bash him or say anything that would prompt her to feel like she needed to defend him. She finally said "K" and I wait a few mins, then decided to ask her "what are you up to" since I haven't show much interest in her life lately. She said "done with case, now at lunch" and I thought of replying "have a good day" or something, but decided to just leave it be and drop the conversation.

Go my flight to Vegas bought, sucks because I'm going to miss a bunch of stuff while I'm gone. #1 softball game on Thur, #2 neighborhood meeting about a subdivision next door to my house, #3 IC appt on Friday, #4 men's breakfast Sat morning at church, #5 church on Sat night. It used to be easier to travel when I "didn't have a life..." ;\)

My sons want me to come this weekend to pick them up instead of next weekend. This is a problem for a few reasons: #1 I'm going to be gone to Vegas until Sat evening so I can't drive there (8hr drive) until Sunday, #2 My mom is flying here on Sunday and was going to drive back with me on Thursday, #3 I had timed my trip to pick them up to match my anniversary so I'd at least be around my wife and have the opportunity to give her a card or go to dinner together. If I change when I go to pick them up then the only thing I can't "fix" is the anniversary, my wife will be flying here 2 days later, so it isn't the end of the world. I could have my mom drive here with us and change her flight here to be a flight home instead. I also was going to be there at the end of the month for a few days so I could visit family and friends, now if I go it will be during the week and I'll have just been gone for 3 days so I will miss out on the things I wanted to do. Anyhow I have to figure it out today or tomorrow, I tried to hold off my sons when they asked me this yesterday, but they were already pesting me today about it and wanted to know why it was a problem so I told them all the reasons... They haven't said anything since then so I don't know if they gave up or are waiting for me to figure it out.
