Maryland Renaissance Festival

Filed under: Clown, entertainment, Life in General, Friends — Mike @ 8:02 am

I made a trip to the Maryland Renaissance Festival (http://www.rennfest.com/) on Saturday. This was probably my fourth or fifth time going. Earlier in the year, I tried to set aside some time to go to the Virginia Renaissance Festival, but never made it. This was opening weekend, and I figured that if I waited until later in the season, things would come up and I would miss going this year. So, I took advantage of my free weekend and went.

Slow service at the gas pump

Filed under: Life in General — Mike @ 8:29 am

My smart fortwo has an eight gallon gas tank. Compared with the much larger tank on my older Chevy Trailblazer (15-20 gallons) it takes half the time to fill with gas. But, I can’t help but feel like I could spend even less time at the pump.

I spent the weekend at Hershey Park and noticed a lot of young boys sporting mohawks. Actually, I would say that only one or two boys really had mohawks, the rest looked like two or three weeks ago, they may have had mohawks.

Harry Potter books on CD

I have continued to listen to the Harry Potter books on CD in my carĀ for the past several weeks. I started with Book Six, then went back to Books Five and Four. I am listening to Book Four for the second time. I definitely pick up minor details with each listening.

Power Outage

I was getting ready for bed last night when I heard some rumbling outside. At first, I thought it was one of the neighbors fighting with their trash cans, but when it continued, I realized it was thunder.

Laundry in the Summer

Filed under: Life in General — Mike @ 8:31 pm

I just finished doing two loads of laundry. I have been running out of clean socks lately. I don’t think I have fewer pairs of socks than I did a few months ago. I think it is more that I haven’t been doing laundry on a regular basis. I have been busy and do my laundry when the basket is full. The problem is that I have been wearing more t-shirts and shorts lately and they don’t take up as much room in the laundry basket.
