Agent Gillett

Today was one of those rare days where nothing went wrong for a change. I love days like this and hope to have more.

I took out for her birthday. With Bean in tow, we went to Logan's Steakhouse, which is a very cool place. (Any restaurant that plays the Rolling Stones and Stevie Ray Vaughan is cool.) We each had an appetizer (mozzarella sticks), a steak (she had the ribeye, I had sirloin), and dessert. Bean had her usual chicken fingers, and everyone left full.

Went to the mall to find a certain store, but it was not there. So we went to Barnes and Noble (the wife's favourite 'toy store'), and she looked around while Bean played in the children's section. They didn't have the book the wife wanted, but they do on Amazon, which I will order on Thursday when I get paid. :D


After going home for a rest, I left for the Australian Pink Floyd Show concert at the Uptown Theater. These guys sound so much like the original band, it's scary. (David Gilmour and Roger Waters have endorsed them). The sets were very well done.

Set 1:
Speak To Me/Breathe
On The Run
Time
The Great Gig In The Sky
Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts 1-5
Welcome To The Machine
Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Sheep

Set 2:
Astronomy Domine
Learning To Fly
High Hopes
Us & Them
Take It Back
The Fletcher Memorial Home
Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2
Wish You Were Here
One Of These Days
Hey You
Comfortably Numb

Encore: Run Like Hell

A good show, but a little stripped down. No lazers, and no mirror ball during Comfortably Numb. And to my surprise, they did not play Money, Floyd's biggest hit. But really, I had no complaints. This is the third year in a row I've seen them, and they're always good.

Now... to relax and get ready for tomorrow.

Weekends for a me are not like everyone else's, mostly because I work and deal with the crazy party crowds. This weekend, so far, has brought the usual - busy Friday, not as busy but still loaded Saturday.

Last night was also a bit prolonged. Our overnight guy called in an hour and a half before shift was due to start, so there was a scramble to find someone to work. And while we did find someone, she was at her other job in Overland Park. (We're in Independence, MO, which is about a 45 minute drive.) So I had to work an extra 30 minutes. Nice for the extra money, but not when you've been there for 10 hours already and your feet are killing you. However, I did sleep well and have made a nice recovery for today.

Then there is today. I wake up and find out that my baby girl is sick. Been throwing up and cuddly all day. (Just like me when I get sick.) I would call in, but it's too late in the day to do that.

Plus, I already switched with someone so I could get tomorrow off. Monday is coffee_n_cocoa's birthday. It's also the night that The Australian Pink Floyd show comes back to town. I bought my ticket not realizing this fact, and I had a feeling she would kill me. However, I am taking her out for a nice lunch and then to do some shopping. She liked the idea, so evidently I have been forgiven for my oversight.

Well... time to work. Just gotta get through today...

I can't wait until November!
