Weekend in Tulsa

We spent the last four days in Tulsa, and attended a surprise birthday party for Chuck's mom on Saturday. It was nice to stay with a few friends, but all in all it was a busy weekend of family stuff. Tulsa was typical. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday == no sun whatsoever. Gray, gray, gray. Cold. Rainy. A constant reminder of why I love Arizona so much.

I was MORE than happy to touch down in Phoenix last night around dusk and watch the mountains turn melted-crayon orange with the sunset. Even the coyotes greeted me with their high-pitched yipping as they hunted rabbits on the golf course shortly before midnight.

All in all I did get to finish a few Steinbeck short stories (The Pearl and The Red Pony) and made a half-hearted stab again at Lisey's Story, the new Stephen King novel. (Don't bother, it stinks so far).

We worked on teaching ourselves to play the WoW trading card game. Relatively similar to Magic: The Gathering, but it does have enough quirks to confuse me a little. And I still don't have any loot cards yet *grumble*.
