dinner drive, kyle petty

 in the evening i was flipping through channels and was pleased to find a show on what was called the 'circle network'. it was 'dinner drive' with kyle petty, the race car driver. i decided to keep watching because i said 'isn't he interviewing pitbull, the musician?' and he was. guess that pitbull has bought into a race car team. i like seeing people get interviewed, and i liked what pitbull said about how music brings people together. and how basketball taught some important skills- besides just teamwork. i have said this about performing as well. it also served as a nice reminder of hearing 2 pitbull songs when driving home from work a few days ago. it was 'dj got us falling in love again', with usher, and 'feel this moment', with christina aguilera. 

this was a rare day for me, i woke up and stayed in sweat pants all day, did not go anywhere. but i had reasons to stay in. for one thing, aldi is closed on new year's day, so have to wait on the weekly grocery order. the iowa hawkeyes were on t.v. as well, playing in the citrus bowl against kentucky. and just as important, it is cold out there, subzero temperatures. after watching the bowl game i laid down for a while and it was early evening by then. during the citrus bowl i did send a text about the game to a college roommate, mr. physics. this was just after iowa went ahead in the 4th quarter, after trailing at halftime, 13-3. i said 'it was puzzling how iowa couldn't move the ball in the first half but got their act together in the second. still a lot of game left though'. and iowa lost 20-17. kentucky drove for a touchdown and then iowa got intercepted on their next possession. still a fairly good game to watch, just not the outcome i had hoped for. another thing i did was place an amazon order, first time in over a month. it was for the barenaked ladies greatest hits CD that has the 'big bang theory' theme song on it. and in the morning, before the football game, i watched a DVD. it was the movie 'christmas vacation'. still trying to get the annual viewing of christmas shows in. oh, and i know full well that the hibernation will have to end soon. so sunday i plan on going out to get groceries, and might get a few other things as well.
