Here we are in Hillsboro at the Best Western. We got here about 3:00 and settled in to our room. The rooms here are clean and are furnished nicely. We have a large desk which we moved out into the middle of the room so we can both set our computers up and play.
We set around and played on the computers and then when the game came on we started watching it. We both wanted the Saints to win and were really getting into the game. When the Vikings came up with the ball in the last minutes or so we really were down! Our hopes were really shattered and the hopes of going to a Super Bowl were fading away.
Alas!…the game went into overtime and the field goal was about to happen…when the digital signal started that crackling and pixilating….The ba…is….dwn….its…u…its…crackle screen goes away…no way to know if it was good or not…until the picture cleared for a short time and I could see the people on Bourbon St jumping up and down and toasting and…wait….that goes on all the time there…did they win or are they just having a party? I ran to the computer and dialed up sports and found out that they made the field goal and won the game!!! Yeah!!! Go Saints.
OK now I have to watch the Super Bowl and start this agonizing feeling all over again. I hate sports…why do I spend time watching while my blood pressure goes up and I get so involved in the game I want to shake the TV off its stand. Sherri just sets there and watches me come completely apart and just laughs.
After the game we went and ate a bite at the Black Eyed Pea. It was a little late to be eating but we were hungry and had to eat something. Travel days always throws our schedule off for eating.
We got our showers and then turned in for the night. Tomorrow is a work day for us so we have to get to bed so we can get up. We have to drive 35 miles from the motel to the store we work in so that means we have to leave about 7:00. This will be my first store set so it should be interesting to say the least. Stay tuned for the continuing saga of Speedy and the Store Set…

I bet it was some hotel clerk messing with the main cable connection for all the rooms... just to mess with ya! LOL
Hey Bro, somebody changed your blog. I'll do some investigating from this end to see if I can find the culprits. Glad I am not the only one that has to work. Only have 92 days left on my weekend and then it's back to the old grind.
You have a good boss...I am sure you will have no trouble with that store set!
Just try not to knock too many things over and you should be just fine.
