After reading many of your blogs on Friday I learned that the weather was supposed to be really nice over the weekend. I pretty much believe everything I read on blogs; still, I had to see what a nice day looked like for myself. It's been so long since I've gotten out of this computer chair and experienced a nice day outside. I have plenty agreeable days inside, but not so many outside. It's usually either to cold or to hot outside in Louisville. The perfect days are few and far between. But Saturday was one of those perfect days that I hear so much about.
I'm obviously capable of generating many perfect days, but the credit for this one goes to a power greater than myself. We started out by eating at our favorite country restaurant, Cracker Barrel. Coffee, stimulating conversation, and breakfast food is a great way to
start a perfect day. So is smoking a joint, but I'm on sabbatical from weed this week. And then after we finished breakfast we did the unthinkable, we decided to go to the park instead of shopping.The magnificent body of water in these pictures is called the Ohio river. The land on the other side of the river is called Indiana. I don't know to much about Indiana except that I can buy fireworks legally, but I can't set them off there (do you find this as stupid as I do?) and the RCA Dome is about two hours from where I took this picture.
We spent about an hour at the park and then we went home and consummated our perfect day by watching some television. Well, I watched some TV, the pregnant woman took a nap. Then we cooked dinner together. Yep. A perfect day.
Friday was a pretty mediocre day until I went over to Sunshine's blog and learned that she gave me a Thinking Blogger Award and wrote some really nice things about me. I've pretty much been stalking her blog all weekend and rereading the post ever since discovering it. I probably would have read it about 10 more times, but she has one of those cursed Site Meters and I don't want her to think I'm 100 percent freak. 75 percent is fine. Her blog is about her family and her life and she's really funny. She's also extremely generous and rumor has it she's a big Star Wars fan as well. She's also been known to be a little rebellious towards hippies at times. I enjoy reading her blog and really you would too. Again, I say thank you Sunshine.

Aha, the lovely Ohio river. I remember crossing that over and over again when visiting relatives in Ohio. I have relatives in Findlay, Fostoria, Columbus, and Gallipolis. Congrats on your award. Stalker...
Oh! Great photos!
Sounds like you had a perfect weekend....and an award winning one at that!
Hail, Corky! :)
Hey I've crossed that river twice. Once driving from Ohio into Kentucky and then again driving from Kentucky (at Louisville) into Indiana. It was nice.
Cracker Barrel is an awesome place. I like to go there for dinner and have their meat loaf and garlic mashed potatoes. I just wish they served alcohol.
what do you mean you're on sabbatical?
if you smoke weed any week of the year, it has to be this week.
420, dude.
I think if you were less than 83% freak, I wouldn't like you very much...only the most twisted people are very interesting.
May the force be with you young Skywalker.
Why the sabbatical?
Congratulations ont the award! I'll have to check Sunshine out.
Abbagirl 74: I remember reading something about Washington crossing the Ohio River during World War I. Or something like that... ;)
Pissy: Thanks! I love taking digital pictures.
Jay: I'm a catfish man myself. And of course I like Mama's Pancake Breakfast.
Eric: You have a very valid point. I'm going to rethink my position on this whole sabbatical decision.
Sunshine: 83% might just be my next tattoo. It's a nice solid number.
Whimsicalnbrainpan: I ask myself that same question once every 10 minutes or so...
How kewl is that al Capitan.:)
I will read the sunshine blog now......have a great week:)
congrats cap. all i got was a blogger who eats cream cheese award. i don't think it's the same thing
Awesome pics! When I lived up that way we used to canoe down that river all the time. It was a lot of fun. Sounds like you had the perfect weekend!
Wow, that is a great day! Mine was pretty good too. I spent the day reading comics, playing video games and watching South Park.
Weed + Cracker Barrell = Uncle Hershel's breakfast in my belly
I thought someone wrote a blog about me, once.
Turns out it was just a restraining order.
I think that I need to mosy on down to Sunshines place....
Sounds like a great day Corky. And you deserve your award :)
Congrats in the award. It's very deserved. Cracker Barrel has got to be my favorite eatery. Unfortunately they don't have them here in So Cal, so I have to go see my brother in AZ, since he lives right down the street from one.
I'm obviously capable of generating many perfect days, but the credit for this one goes to a power greater than myself.

Etain: You have a great week too. I little birdie told me that you read Sunshine's post.
Blancodeviosa: Thanks. I'm glad you're back!
Lady K. I've only been out on the river once, but I plan on buying a boat soon. Allyson and I are in... negotiation.
Furious: That's one advantage Southern Jersey has over northern Jersey, Cracker Barrell.
Karma: Truth be told I could spend the next 10 years doing that. ;)
Alicia: Not you, I don't believe that for one second.

Michael: Yet another reason why I'll never move to California.
Yas: You know I'm beautiful.
"power greater than myself" -- either give me credit for real or don't talk about me at all. ans stop deleting my comments, its disrespectful.
Glad you had a good weekend.
G-d: Your comment under the sermon post is safely intact. You're getting a bit paranoid in your old age.
Mark: Thanks pal.
there's no need to leave out the O. i can tell you spent too much time in livingstein. and anyway, if you are going to make reference to my power, give me real props and say that the weather was all my work
Well isn't that special!
Hey your post made me want to hear the song "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed (Velvet Underground)... Check it out if you don't know it.
You decide to post a picture of the Ohio River and you wait until it's way too high and muddy?! Yuck!
Why didn't you post a picture of Thunder? Now THAT is an awesome picture of the Ohio!
