Brisket

I am off to Sam's this morning to buy, yet another brisket. Tom will smoke it tomorrow. Since Tom is on this team, he has been perfecting his craft, every weekend. I don't know how, but we are sick of brisket. I will freeze some of it and there are always neighbors wanting samples. Our first competition is next weekend. We were watching something on Food Network, last night, about smoking ribs. The girls got excited and told Tom all about it. It's good to have a family project that everyone enjoys.

Today, I will give a lesson or three, and then we are off to Elitch Gardens. There is a ride there called the Mind Eraser. That's what I need. Something to erase the anxiety over the nursing job and all the chores ahead of us at home. I actually rode the ride, when we went the other day. It is a super big roller coaster that turns you upside down a couple of times. I rode it to prove to the girls that I wasn't a chicken, but that was it for me. I may not be a chicken, but I am 41.

Happy day all.
