Watched most of this years Rock N Roll HOF induction ceremony last night. I always enjoy it and like seeing and hearing from both the artists and the people introducing them. Carol King's was cool and she got up and performed a few songs, which was cool. Not sure I remembered that she wrote You've Got a Friend. Cool J was cool and he performed as well with several guests including Eminem on Rock the Bells. Tina Turner wasn't there and gave a very quick and kind of odd acceptance speech from her home. The Go Go's played a few songs and were intro'd by Drew Barrymore. It seemed weird hearing her say she had a Go Go's poster on her wall when she was 6, she seems just as old. Todd Rundgren's video intro was weird and cool and ended with a clip of him saying he would never join the RRHOF if selected, he didn't show. They also did small tributes to Kraftwerk, Gil Scott Herron, Randy Rhoads and Billy Preston. I think maybe I have just the Foo Fighters left.

Slow day here too, but I've got some BS work that should eat up some time. I'll help make some Mac and Cheese and a cheeseball appetizer tonight, drink a few beers and watch the Hokies play Memphis in hoops. The four day weekend is almost upon me.

What about a hot tub? HEH -She never picks anything out. She DOES want a hot tub, but I'm not sure that's in the budget. Our electric bills are already outrageous...not sure what a hot tub would do there.

Just did a quick search...I could MAYBE get her one of the inflatable ones, but they're not designed to work in under 40 degree temps...so she wouldn't even be able to use it for months after Christmas.

Of course, you will be assuming maintenance of said hot tub...OR that 16 year old of yours *wink*
...lolol...Good luck!

We had a Walmart pool for almost two summers...the pump shit the bed in August this year...new pumps were more than the pool...so we cut it apart and threw it away.
Not sure I want to deal with another temporary water body...

Well, you could get her an opener present and then surprise her within THAT...hehe The partial time hot tub takes care of your electric bill issue...kind of

Not sure I want to deal with another temporary water body... Oh yeah...I know its a pain in the ass. Ive helped my buds with their in ground pool many a time...but dang its so damn GOOD when its going. I guess you just have to think whether itd be worth it, or whether she would REALLY wants a hard body one..you know, like wooden...or whatever they make them out of now...I know those can be expensive.
