So this past weekend I was (almost) completely off the grid. Ironically I did take my laptop with me out of habbit but I just took the weekend to relax and spend time with the family (and some friends). My wife and I took the kids down to visit their uncle Leo, but the main reason for the trip was a shopping trip for the wife at the new Philadelphia outlets. We left with quite a few shopping bags, and much less money in the bank account – but we are trying to do our part in fixing this wonderful economy….or maybe my wife just likes to shop you decide.
On Saturday night I got to have a few drinks with some friends and try out Rock Band 2 – it’s amazing how the game really hasn’t changed that much – but perhaps that is a good thing. I remember the backlash from people when Guitar Hero put in the battles when progressing through the tour – so perhaps this a smarter approach. They did however fix one thing that bothered me from day one, you can now play with bands over live – so no more forcing people into your house just to get all those band tour achievements (which I do not have btw).
Finally got back sunday and then jacked everything back in – and tried to catch up on what i missed – but it was a nice little retreat, might have to go on another adventure with the kids for a weekend again soon – or as my son likes to call it “beecation”.
On a completely unrelated note – a few weeks before this trip the kids other uncle (my brother Tom) watched them for a night so the wife and I could go with some friends to see one of my favorite comics – Jim Norton.
I didn’t notice to be honest…does that make me a bad friend?
hah no I am glad you can detach once in awhile, its good for you.
