Monday

Hello Monday.  For much of the public sector, we have a National holiday:  President's Day.  So let's have a pic of The Four Head's to celebrate!  The markets are closed, so the business channels really don't have much to report.  No mail.  No banks.

The weekend in Minnesota was a success.  Like, how can a George Strait concert not be a success?  The venue in St. Paul, the Excel Center, is similar to the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines where 2 and I saw George last year.  Very similar stage set-up, and I'd say Martina's play-list was almost the same as a year ago.  Then again, she doesn't have near the number of hits that George has accumulated in his career.  But she has some pipes!

Our seats were good, not great, but we had a real comfortable arrangement on the Club level.  Basically, we were in the last row of that level, but that meant that we had room to sit, stand, and generally move around without having to climb over people.  The large video screens above the stage gave us a good vision of the performers at all times.

The beer currency was $8 for 12 ounce bottles.  Concert tee's went for $30.

Here are a couple of pics that were sent out on Twitter from the concert.  A very handsome group!

So moving on...

I give props to Danica for getting the Daytona pole.  She had the fastest car all weekend, and drove it like a pro to stay on top of the charts when it counted.  Let's face it: she has the car and the team that it takes to win in NASCAR.  It remains to be seen if she can keep the fenders on it for a full race.  She seems to have matured as a driver, and seems to have been accepted in the garage.  Now we get to see if she has any racin' luck.  At Daytona, ya' gotta be fast...and lucky.

Didn't even pause at the NBA All-Star game when going through the channels last night.  Never heard of the guy who won the slam-dunk contest.

I'm placing my health number at 85% or so.  Its certainly not 100%.  My goal is to continue to get better this week, and maybe figure out a fitness schedule for next week.  The Road to Recovery has an upward grade that will mean small steps for a while.  Its a bummer getting old.

Finally, I'm naming 4 as Daughter of the Day.  Last night was her last graveyard shift, at least for now.  She gets to go to a more daytime schedule starting on Wednesday.  Its been a learning year for her.  Congrats on making another step forward!

Maybe more later.  Thanks for reading.
