Big Burrito

Okay, so today after college we dropped by a place called Big Burrito.  With a name like that, it was inevitable that we drop by.  Maddie likes the Mexican food, and of course any opportunity to add hot sauce to her meals.  I made a vow some time last year that I would have to drop by here some time soon and, and yes, I wouldn't get a taco because if you're going to a place called Big Burrito, you need to get a burrito, right?

And yes, it was in fact a big burrito.  I was not able to finish it.  I think I got a little over halfway through it, in fact.  I think that if Mom and I split a big burrito, we still wouldn't have finished the whole thing.  Anyway, it was a nice visit.  The place was very busy - it took us a second swing around the parking lot to get a parking space.  

We got home and I've been doing a lot of work today with a KidPak event tomorrow night.  But I did get to marching towards Memphis, virtually at least.  While walking along, rather than do another Elvis movie, I got to see the Elvis 1968 Comeback Special for the first time.  It was great - it's been a great theme to walk to.  I think there are only a few more days left until I get to Graceland.

Maddie had taekwondo tonight, and I was sneaking off to get a Valentine's Day card I spotted a few weeks ago, something picked up from Cracker Barrel of all places.  I saw they had some cards there, something a little different.

I got to see Maddie helping out with the younger kids, and then training some more with leadership afterwards.  It's Master Edge's birthday today, and that was fun for everyone.  

Happy birthday!  There were all kinds of gifts and balloons and celebrations tonight.  We went straight home after this to get to Mom, who's been feeling a little rough with this detox thing lately.  On the way home, I had this CD playing with this didgeridoo - we got this music back in 2015 when we saw a guy performing at what was Downtown Disney.  It was such a unique performance with a didgeridoo.  Maddie recalled getting a guitar pick from this performer, and we neither Mom or I remember that at all.  And yet, sure enough, when we opened up the CD package, out fell a guitar pick with the performer's name on it.  Pretty fun!  

Today is Day Negative One of the Winter Olympics, and we watched the Big Air competition, watching these thirty or so athletes compete to see who can be in the top twelve for the final on Saturday.  We were happy at least one American made it in - and disappointed two others fell short.  The one Australian guy that came out of nowhere with a huge jump was the big moment of the day for sure.  Tonight we watched Norway versus the United States in curling's and I thought for sure at the end the Norwegians would get the win, as they had the "hammer" and we had left an opening for them to win.  But their stone fell just short, and after such a long game, it was awesome to see the United States win.  We're watching the US women's ice hockey team later here - the camera is showing the Vice President and Secretary of State watching from the audience, which is cool.  The Olympics are here, and it's going to be a fun two weeks!

We closed up the night with a different sort of winter event - Commander Vimes running for his life in the cold and snow, trying to escape some treacherous villains in Überwald.  

It's an exciting little segment and we're wondering how Vimes will make his escape!  The Plush Entourage was on hand as always to hear this latest development, and I'm sure everyone will be excited to see what will happen next!

We said our prayers after this, and yeah, it was time for some sleep!
