Independence Day

I had a pretty good weekend. My back hurts a lot, but I try to ignore it as best as I can. I made up some hamburgers on the grill and we at with my wife's folks who are in from Chicago. We went out to Lake Las Vegas to watch the fireworks. We didn't get to park close so we just found a spot on the golf course and watched from the soft grass. I really enjoyed laying in the grass. It has been a while since I had done that.

We drove out to Lake Mead yesterday and enjoyed the scenery. Then we went down to the MGM for a little while.

I am tired,
I am weak,
The body aches,
It is hard to sleep,
How much more can I take?
The dreams are fleeting,
I can't concentrate,
Which spell can I make?
Whirling and twirling within my mind,
Peaceful surrender that I can find,
What will it be?
What has come over me.
