Very quiet uneventful day yesterday. During yesterday afternoon mom, Jenny and the boys went to the movies to see Harry Potter. Me and Daniel already saw it when it came out so I decided to stay home. For a few hours it was really nice and quiet. I always look forward to having a couple of hours to myself. I think that's why I'm always up before everyone else. While I was raised on early to bed early to rise, the rest of this household goes by the opposite very late to bed and late to rise. Anyway while they were gone I watched the first part of the 10th inning from Ken Bruns baseball, watched one episode of Brad Meltzers Decoded and read(oddly enough a Brad Meltzer book). They were gone for the perfect length. After a few hours I get tired of being by myself and miss everybody. Everyone returned right as the Lightning-Devils game came on. The Lightning played a pretty uninspired game and lost 6-3. At night me, Jenny and Daniel watched the final 2 episodes of Sarah Palin's Alaska. She has been getting some flax for doing the show. But I disagree it shows her to be an average person. People are tired of politicians and she does not come across as one. She really seems to love being with her family and having the freedom to go around doing what she loves. The million dollar question is will she run??? Who knows. If I could visit any place on the planet it would be Alaska. So lets see on the bucket list we have 1.Alaska 2.See a Winter Classic Live 3.Visit Cooperstown with my Grandchildren. Oddly enough after we watched Sarah Palin's Alaska we watched Alaska's State Troopers. It is astounding how some people in really rural areas lives. Also they showed some festival where people take their snowmobiles. There was alot of drunkenness and some drug use. It reminded me immediately Bike Week in Daytona only with snow. The people who attended these events seemed pretty similar.
