In other news, it was announced last week that REM was disbanding. While I haven't been a huge fan of their later stuff, nothing can beat their 1992 album, Automatic for the People. Everybody Hurts, Man on the Moon and (my favorite) Nightswimming are a few songs that take me back to those high school years (I'm getting old!). When ever people people hear that I'm from Athens, GA, it is typically associated with REM or the B52's.
Not much else is going on, I'm still taking welding classes on Saturdays and we had our third golf class last night. I am amazed at how much effort and thought goes into a good swing. You have to get in the right position, hold the club properly, the list goes on and on. Each night, we get a bucket of around 100 balls and we practice and practice. Next week is going to focus on putting.
We have another guest coming to visit this weekend. She and Karen both have birthdays in October and they have adopted the concept of the "birthday month." Instead of just celebrating on the day of your birth, they say you should celebrate the entire month. The theory hasn't caught on for others, but Karen definitely tries to exploit it around the house as much as she can. "It's my birthday month" becomes the universal excuse to avoid doing dishes and other household tasks. Of course, I don't typically give in on these things, but she gives it a good effort anyway.
