Another big weekend. Memorial Day. Time for reflection. Time for family and friends.

In keeping with this theme, Jessica and I took a trip to Dallas to meet up with our friends Collin and Katheen. Aside from spending time with friends, the purpose of the trip was to shop. Ikea specifically. Lots of fun. Lots of spending. We already have a list for the return trip in a few months. Our car was loaded down and the trip was unfortunately too short. Still, 24-hours spent with friends is always a good thing.

Lunch was at Ikea (very tasty Swedish meatballs). Dinner was at Maggiano's. Sure, it's a chain restaurant. But the food is so very good. I haven't stuffed myself that much in a very long time. I recommend it highly if you have access to one.

Sunday morning on the way out of town, we stopped by Fry's. It's a huge warehouse of an electronics/computer/media/appliance store. Very much a geek, DIY, and Make heaven. I picked up a modular gaming keyboard - Z-Board and the first season of Dr. Katz (and yes it's as funny as I remember).

This upcoming weekend...back to the old homestead in Tulsa. I am seriously not looking forward to that.
