Had a pretty good weekend. Beth and I went up to Branson MO on Saturday morning. Her place of business always does something together after tax season; this year it was going to a show. "Legends in Concert" this time. Saw the impersonators of Cher (sounded just like her, didn't look much like her), Nat "King" Cole (dead on), the Blues Brothers (Elwood was perfect, but Joliet Jake looked more like Chris Farley), Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, and the obligatory Elvis. The best part of the show was when Elvis' jumpsuit ripped during his "old" Elvis rendition of Suspicious Minds. It ripped right in front where a fly should go. A roadie ran out with a towel, and Elvis tucked it into his belt for the remainder of his number, but also couldn't stop laughing. We went out to a pub with a band (lead singer looked like Tom Cruise and Dennis Quaid put together) which we hadn't done in years and can't do in Mountain Home Arkansas, that's for sure, and stayed overnight in a resort lodge overlooking Table Rock Lake (nice...big). Sunday was a little more sedate. Mini golf and skee-ball and such. On the home front, we still don't have our garbage disposal and I'm getting really dorked off at the appliance place. Service after the sale doesn't seem their strong suit. And the vinyl siding is half up. Another few days and I'll get some new pictures of the house for the house page.
