brisket, baseball, tv...

it is amazing how time flies when you are doing absolutely nothing...which i am enjoying. today was basically a day of doing a little cleaning, watching a bit of tv (stuff that i had saved on the DVR), doing some cooking (vegetable soup, teriyaki pork blade steaks on the grill, a brisket for my dad on the smokey cooker) and a little walmart activity ($63.00 for nothing much).

austin has made it to jupiter, florida for the USA baseball junior olympics. i think the combine starts in the morning and that will determine if he makes the team. i don't expect he will. in a way, i hope he doesn't. he doesn't have a passport and i am not sure how i am going to pay to send him to panama. plus, who would go? in any case, it likely won't happen.

bebo, dave and andrew hacker and austin left last night about 12:30 to drive all night for florida. when i talked to austin during the day, he was at various places (outside of jacksonville, daytona beach at the speedway). he called when he finally got there and said the condo was nice. they were going out to a KFC buffet, something we don't have here. in any case, i have forgotten when exactly i am supposed to fly, so i need to check up on it. i am going to the beach tomorrow to deliver the brisket and visit with the parental units and warnie. they are going to go and get her from the assisted living place on saturday afternoon and i will be providing the delayed father's day dinner of brisket, cole slaw, and rice-a-roni salad. they are moving her things to her room on saturday morning, and i don't know if i will be helping or not. daddy didn't seem to want me to go, although i don't know why. i thought i would be a good choice to go, sort of as a neutral between daddy and aunt grace. the can't agree on anything about warnie's alzheimers or moving her or anything. mom and aunt grace aren't speaking and it is a big mess.
