Tuesday night
we played basketball at Tell Me since Dave was working that night.
Actually Dave was covering for someone who showed up because there was
a communicatin mix up so Dave wasn't really working. Anyway, we played
a few games of Team Tip.
In Team Tip, it's the shooter vs the rest of the players. The shooter
keeps shooting scoring +2 points. Each tip-in is worth -1 point and
catching a ball that doesn't touch anything is worth -2 points. The
objective is to get to +20 or -10 points. We've never gotten to -10
points. I think it's a more entertaining version of tip and the shooter
gets to practive free throw shooting.
Anyway, Donald showed up and he played a couple of games. Then we
played a game of 3-on-2 with Woo and I versus Dave, Donald and Fulton.
It was 5-4 with us losing then we scored 6 straight points to go up
10-6 and won the game 11-7. Mostly Woo does everything since I get
tired very quickly in a real game. I did score a couple of points.
After that tiring workout we went to the Tied House for dinner.
Everytime people say the name I keep thinking Thai House -- it's just
the way the local accent is around here. I had the burger which was
very good. The fries were good too. Better than Chili's. Probably
chipped in more money than I should have which makes me wonder if it
was because Dave was paying or because there were more people.

Wednesday was
pretty uneventful. I didn't go to work so I goofed off a lot and
fielded a couple of calls. Stephanie got here about 14:30 and we left
soon after. Lots of cars on the road. I was originally planning to go
to mom and dad's and pick up Christopher later but traffic was bad
enough that we just went straight to Davis. We got there at 18:00 and
read books until Christopher got out of class.
We got to mom and Dad's at about 19:30. Next time we might try to leave
late at night to avoid the Thanksgiving Weekend traffic. We had won ton
soup for dinner and watched West Wing. I set up my computer downstairs
and used the neighbor's wireless access point which someone has left
open. Not a good signal though so it drops out occasionally. But when
it's going it's much faster than dial up.
Christopher brought his Airport home and set it up upstairs so we can
use that instead. You have to tell the Airport to dial out then wait a
bit before you can go on the Internet. It's pretty neat though it does
tie up the phone line.
I went to sleep on the spare bed which was quite uncomfortable. The bed
isn't any smaller than my bed but it just felt cramped. I kept turning
over and hitting the wall. Not a very good sleep at all.
