New Post

Looks like it's time for a new post! Sorry to disappoint, I really don't have anything new to add. Joe was in Phoenix all this past week for an arena managers conference and to get in some continuing education hours and golf while he was there. Plus hobnobbing with all the Ticketmaster dudes (got to keep the connections). It was actually hotter here in Oklahoma than it was in Phoenix if you can believe that. During this heat wave, we are the 2nd hottest place in the US. Lubbock, TX, OKC, Raleigh, NC, I want to say Tulsa, then Austin, TX (or something like that). Most days we hover around 104 or so. It rarely gets below 100 (unless it's after dark). The record here in Oklahoma is 50 days with 100 degrees or more, we are closing in on 40 now and the meteorologists are saying they don't see an end to it yet in the forecasts.

Joe purchased a small window air conditioning unit and we have it in the garage (rigged up under the garage door) for the dogs. Poor things, we do have shade, but even shade doesn't cut it if the temperatures are so high.

This coming week starts "work week" at the sorority house. The week from hell, preparing for and setting up for recruitment that starts August 12th here at OU. Kaitlyn is excited and she is one of the few girls that likes and actually looks forward to "rush" (now known as recruitment).

Kristen is doing well at her job. Her department moved into new offices recently and she has a big, beautiful office with floor to ceiling windows. She has turned into a real health nut. She takes, pilates, yoga, ballet barre, zumba, and works out at the company gym. She is excited to start the MBA program at UCO (University of Central Oklahoma, a smaller university than OU, it has about 20,000 students) in Edmond, OK, which is about 15 minutes from her apartment in the city.

I meet with the surgeon on this coming Thursday about my gallstones. Maybe I'll have more to catch you up on after that!
