Good morning, everybody!

Congratulations on the 92 JB!

If the OH convention is in Houston (which I think they said), and is the same weekend as last year, Guns and Roses plays at Minutemaid Park the Thursday night that it starts.

When I went to the gym Friday night, everybody looked purple. I chose the scaled version of 23.2A, so I ended up with a score of 102, which was 62 Burpees jumping to the bar and 40 shuttle sprints. Afterwards, my top thruster was 155 pounds.

A friend texted me pictures afterwards and I was purple too! I will post my purple picture on Friday.

The rest of the weekend was good: we went to a fundraising St. Patricks event on Saturday (the Irish band had The Allman Bothers Band's In Memory of Elizabeth Reed in their repertoire for some reason, which made me happy), I got my light fixture fixed and we had our drive through fish Friday afternoon.

We finally talked to my older son. Finding out information about this girlfriend is like pulling teeth, but he did say maybe we will meet her this summer.

It's pouring out today. I have lifting and CrossFit. Not a ton to do at work.

QOTD: Oh, definitely with friends.

Breakfast: Egg Sandwich

Lunch: Cod

Dinner: Chicken

Have a great day, all!

sounds like you're thinking about going to the OH conference in Houston. Assuming everything is OK with the "moms" at that point (my mother and MIL), I'll go if some other people from the thread go. I had a blast at the last one! (being with you guys was the best part!)

I don't have any firm plans, but will keep everyone informed as we get closer.

OK good! I'll go if you go (or if anyone else from the list goes, for that matter...). That is, provided there aren't some severe issues with our mothers (always a concern when I'm planning an out-of-town trip - although except for our trip to Italy (twice rescheduled due to COVID, but a third time due to a health emergency with MIL), it's never been a problem - so I'm betting on it not being a problem for the OH conference, either...

I intend to go if it doesn't conflict with Oktoberfest, my sister's wedding, or work conferences!

I have never been to Houston, would love to go the OH convention, especially to meet people in person from this site, and would definitely go see GNR again!! I can't remember what date the convention was last year.

Mike, I will have to try a direct text, because our family group text seems to suffer from a tragedy of the commons situation.

I am finally over my fear of COVID and not afraid to get on a plane. I will attend the conference this year too.
