Day 3

My thumb resting on the couch as I watch the beginning of the 2nd half of the Colts-Chargers playoff game.

It's now 3rd and 7 for the Colts in the 2nd quarter of their playoff game against the San Diego Chargers. Make that 4th and long... oh well, there's still about 33 minutes of football left for the evening. I have faith that Payton Manning can pull it through, especially against that wannabe quarterback Philip Rivers.

Today was a decent day in my world. I work up early for once and went to the gym fairly early. Of course it was crowded as for some reason the gym is always crowded early on Saturdays. I made it through my one hour treadmill experience without incident while rocking out to Witchcraft and Pantera. The bad thing is I had a blister develop on my foot while on the treadmill. This usually happens when I return after a layoff, so I shrugged it off.

Off to eat and then to the Houston Museum of Natural Science we went. Bodyworlds 2 is in Houston right now and I would like to see it. We saw the original Bodyworlds in Charlotte, NC in late 2007 and I thought it was one of the most interesting museum exhibits I had ever seen. The problem for us was we weren't the only people in Houston thinking of taking it in today. Judging by the length of the line for tickets to get in, it would seem that half the metropolitan area decided to descend upon the museum today. Off to Hermann Park we go.

The park visit was uneventful. I got one or 2 good shots in the park, but nothing really earth shattering. The bad part for this park visit, however, was the blister that formed earlier today. The blister opened while I was walking in the park and now it really hurts to step on my left foot. At least the skin didn't tear while I was walking. That event would have made the journey back to my car a living hell. I did make through a liquor store (to replace that $30 bottle of French wine, which is now a $35 bottle of French wine) and a computer store to purchase a USB cable.

It looks like my 2-a-days are going to start tomorrow. That's not a problem as now I am able to finish watching this game. The Colts are now up 17-14 and just inside Charger territory with the football.

At the risk of this turning into a live-blog of the game (and thus me earning the wrath of the NFL) I will stop this discussion. I bid you all a good night as I finish this game.
