Catfish, traffic, and being with Family

November 12, 2008 - Wednesday - Little Rock

"Little Rock-ing" around the clock today.

Rainy and overcast - so rather a gloomy feeling, but that really means that I slept in until 10 AM (ack!) and everybody was waiting for me to get up and start the day.

I left Kathy with Jo (our sister-in-law) to let them just talk, then I drove up to my Dad's place and went out to a great catfish lunch with Dad & Joan. OK. I admit it. I don't eat fish, generally, and I was afraid of catfish, but this was really benign and tasty. Catfish, fries, hushpuppies (which I love) and a nice conversation.

Back to Dad's with a great view out over the beautiful leaves of Little Rock - while we spent a bit of time on his computer - and took care of a couple of minor questions he had. I don't really know as much about computers as I used to, so it's nice when I *can* help with questions anymore. But we also got some good "talk time" while we were waiting for Windows Vista to install "Service Pack 1".

Back to my brother's - thru 5PM traffic (not as bad as I'd been warned), then more talk, dinner out at an amazing Chinese buffet (it includes even steak and sushi), more talk - and bed.

Good "family" time. Off to Ozark tomorrow - for a wine tour. Yes. A wine tour in Arkansas.
