When I walked out to pick up my mail on Monday, I noticed my mailbox is looking pretty shabby and I really need to replace it. The red flag is broken off and the latch no longer works, either. These can’t be fixed – I just need to find a new mail box.
As I drove through the neighborhood on my way to work this morning, I found myself looking at all the different types of mailboxes that my neighbors are using. There are great styles and colors, and every kind of material from brick to plastic to wood.
I don’t know which way I want to go with this. Maybe I’ll get online this weekend and see if I can find something unique.

Early this morning the coastline of Peru suffered a major earthquake. There are very few reports coming in about casualties and damage, but there is a warning of a related tsunami that may affect all the pacific rim islands. This worries me quite a bit, as I have a brother in Hawaii right now. I understand they are evacuating people on the islands and taking the warning very seriously. I’m very concerned for the safety of my brother and all the citizens of Hawaii. I hope the tsunami turns out to be a small thing and no one else gets hurt.

I told the kids that I have Cabin Fever and they had no idea what I was talking about. So I explained that I was sick of being stuck in the house and really needed a break. So we decided to get in the car and drive to Murfreesboro, just to get out of the house and look at some different scenery besides the interstate. We took the back road from Lebanon and saw a lot of farms and farm animals.
After we got to Murfreesboro, we found a Zaxby’s Chicken and got some really tasty chicken nuggets and crinkle cut fries. That was a nice change. I wish there was a Zaxby’s close to the house – driving 30 miles for chicken nuggets doesn’t make a lot of sense when there are 2 dozen other places between here and there.

So my friend, Gary Allan, is playing at the Houston Rodeo next month and we decided to go to his show. I have to be in Houston that week on business, so I am looking for tickets to a couple nights at the rodeo and Gary’s concert. The Houston rodeo is always held in the Reliant Stadium and goes for 10 days in the middle of March. I used www.aCheapSeat.com to find Reliant Stadium Tickets to see Gary Allan on March 18 and then two nights later I can get tickets to see Taylor Swift, too.
Later on during Spring Break, I’m planning on taking the kids to New York to see their grandparents. I’m thinking about getting Mohegan Sun Arena Tickets for Disney on Ice and taking the whole family for a night out.
My favorite jazz artist, Boney James, is going to do a few shows this year at select venues. I think it would be totally awesome to hear him at the Hollywood Bowl. That is the one place I’ve not yet been for a concert. I checked the web and Boney James will be there in July, so while I am buying tickets I might as well buy Hollywood Bowl Tickets and plan a quick trip to L. A. this summer.
