Initial results from the cardio screenings

No blockages or aneurysms detected.  I heard a heartbeat through the sonogram machine.  Technician confirmed it was my heart and not a fetal heartbeat, which is a relief.  Awaiting a review of the screening results by a cardiologist.

Doc appointment

Cardio screening at 10 a.m.  Curious to see how it turns out.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and has a good Monday!

Checking out houses

Believe it or not, Debbie and I will be moving to the Oklahoma City area.  Not sure exactly where yet, but at least we have advanced beyond a strong desire on my part (for the last 16 years, by the way) to actually checking out homes on the www and going to look at a couple of houses in the Edmond and north OKC area.  "Looking" was limited to a drive by of one home and actually getting out and peeking through the windows of another home.  I have been looking at foreclosures on the www and found a couple that were interesting enough to see what they looked like in person.  There are ALOT of homes for sale in the OKC area and ALOT of foreclosure homes.  Many of the foreclosures that I looked at online are located in fairly new neighborhoods.  Several homes within a few blocks of each other in what appear to be new developments constructed within the last four or five years.  Many of those newer homes are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac foreclosures.  Sad stuff that.  Also, checking out homes that are for sale around OKC.  Lots of nice ones.  Trying to decide whether or not to live in town or find something with a few acres. 

Anyway, I am really trying to temper my excitement because I know the anticipation will drive me crazy.  But, I really cannot wait to shorten our drive to work.  Not just reducing the miles travelled but also the time spent each day sitting in the car.  I calculated at one time that since 1996 I have travelled almost 1 million miles between Stillwater and OKC just going to work and going home afterwards.  Wore out three cars with almost 300,000 miles on two of them and over 350,000 miles on one.  Dang.  Debbie has "enjoyed" the daily trip for the last four years. 

Have a good weekend.

Headed to Greenville, TX

Debbie, Kelsey and I are travelling south to visit Tara and her family tonite.  Kelsey, Tara and Debbie are going to Dallas so Kelsey can try on some wedding dresses.  Not sure what John, the kids and I will do during that time.  I expect Evie and Maggie will want to go dress shopping, too.  Maybe John, Oliver and I need to go visit one of the aircraft museums in Dallas.  Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas. or the Cavanaugh Fligh Museum in Addison or the Vintage Flying Museum in Fort Worth.  Whatever we do, it will be fun.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

iPhone games

Debbie plays games on her iPhone on the way home most nights.  Word search is her favorite.  Tonite she downloaded Family Fued and Ant Smasher. 

She was playing Family Fued and asked me, "What states are humid?"  I thought she said, "What states are human?"  I said, "Sad."  She said in a really irritated voice, "What?" because she only had a few seconds to type an answer. 

It was funny watching her out of the corner of my eye while she was poking at her iPhone screen with her finger smashing ants.  A really huge ant goes across the screen randomly.  She gets really frantic when that happens and pokes hard at her phone.  Cracks me up.

Very cool look at what our future can be.  Not too far away, really.
