Fun Weekend

It was another weekend with very few plans but plenty of options. I did get time to hang out at home, relax and get a few things done. Dale and I also found several opportunities for fun here in Des Moines. Friday night we went to Wells Fargo Arena to watch the Iowa Chops play hockey against Manitoba. We saw a huge hockey brawl in the last period...only one player kept his gloves on.
Saturday we went to see a movie: "MILK" at the Fleur, one of our favorite movie theaters. The movie was excellent and so was Sean Penn who played the lead role.
Sunday night we headed to the Knapp Center to watch the Drake Bulldogs men's basketball team. Although it was a very close game, Drake won. I enjoyed the game lots and the people around us add to the pleasure. There were a large group of cub scouts near us as well as some of the regulars who often sit in the same section. I love watching the games. It's fun that we feel like "regulars!" Now the weekend is over and its time to face Monday and the next snow storm of the year.
