Super Bowl Eve

Today was a great, lazy Saturday.  Jess and I did some shopping, watched a movie, and caught up on the Tivo.  Nothing terribly exciting. We caught two episodes of "Seventeen Kids and Counting," in which the Duggars went on vacation to San Francisco and a wild animal park.  We have some preparations left to make for our Super Bowl get-together at our house. There is grocery shopping and cooking to do but I did mop the kitchen floor, which was badly needed. My folks called me this afternoon to report that my dad is going to the hospital on Monday to have a catheter put in so that he can begin dialysis.  His years of ignoring his diabetes have caught up to him, and he will be having dialysis three times a week, beginning on Wednesday, now that his kidney efficiency is down to about 10%.

This evening we have been reading and watching Austin City Limits.  Nick Lowe (who I never heard of but really liked) was on, and so were The Swell Season.  I really enjoyed "Once," so it was nice to see them perform, and in HD no less (thanks WPSU!).
