Sick Days Buy Time

Home early because I'm sick, so I might as well update the blog while stuck in bed.

I usually don't like to be apart from my better half, but have to admit it's fun right now because I can watch Man vs. Food, which she hates with a passion because it is "gross and disgusting".

As always, last week was busy. My son had a job interview. It went well, and we are hoping to hear some good news soon. He has no major bills, but I do want him to be able to pay for his own auto insurance because it is so expensive. Aside from that, he needs to have his own spending money, and to start saving for his own place. I love both of my kids dearly, but I will not be that person with 30 year old children still living at home.

This week was Pride Week in Birmingham. Michelle and I headed out to Sloss Furnace Sunday to check it out. It's always fun to go to Pride, but I find it extra fun because it takes place at a location that is supposed to be super haunted ( See: Haunted Sloss )  We got a few drinks, watched a few performances, and then I drug her for a quick pass through so I could take pictures. I didn't catch any ghosts, but did get one orb in this shot:


Ghosts or not, I never tire of taking pictures there because it is architecturally and historically interesting. I could have stayed much longer, but Michelle still isn't acclimated to the miserable Alabama heat, and that day was HOT. Can't wait to go back in August for the annual BBQ cook off for food, booze, and music.

Here is one more shot I took, which I want to show off because it's so good that it could be on a post card for the place...
