St. Louis Trip

Okay....this is kind of a long, boring story that some of you already know. But I figure I might as well say it to everyone. Last Tuesday, I sat down here at my computer to write all about my great weekend in St. Louis. Well, after sitting here for 3 1/2 hours typing away at the thing, I was almost done when all of a sudden my AOL shut down on me!!! Frustrated (and tired...it was almost 11:00 by that time) I decided to go ahead and do it over again on Wednesday. But that never happened because I woke up that morning with a pretty bad cold. So I've been putting it off and putting it off since then.

So I'm sitting here tonight and figured to myself "it's been a week now. I HAVE to do something". So, instead of the more exact story that I usually tell, I decided to just run out a quick overview of all that happened. Well, at least the major stuff. I mean, I have tonights bore-fest at the Key Arena to write about as well as the Seahawks/Texans game tomorrow. It deserves alot better than what you're about to read. But I'm still feeling the after-effects of this cold and it's getting even later than it was last time (lol). So here it is....the condensed version of my weekend in St. Louis....

Saturday, October 8

Lindsay took me to this Farmers Market near downtown St. Louis. We then drove a few blocks over to the Budweiser plant where I bought a few things. After that, we headed over to Union Station and ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. When we finished eating, we walked around downtown and visited this empty mall for a little bit. Then it was over to the Savvis Center where we watched the San Jose Sharks defeat the St. Louis Blues, 7-6.

Sunday, October 9

Lindsay and Joe picked me up at the hotel and we headed out to the Edward Jones Dome. We hung out for awhile outside at one of the little block parties they have. We then went inside and cheered the Seattle Seahawks onto another glorious victory (well, at least I did). After the game, we went to the best looking Hooters I've been to (and that's been quite a few...lol). Then we just went back to Lindsay's and watched a couple of movies on tv.

So there it is (lol). Nobody has to read all the stuff that usually happens (haha). But I still feel kinda bad about not getting all the gory details on here. As always, Lindsay and Joe were outstanding hosts. The whole story deserves better than this. But it's just bad timing.

Anyway, I'll just end this by telling Lindsay and Joe "thanks" once again. I know when I'm there I'm cracking about St. Louis' crime problems and the such. But I still LOVE visiting the place. It's really not a bad place ( I mean, I live in Tacoma. So that makes me eligible to make fun of the place if you ask most of the people who live around here...lol). And I look forward to going there again sometime soon (well, not that soon...but you know I'll be back...lol).

Now if only the two of you can get up here......
