Dallas!

Well, Dirk and I survived 15 hours in the car with each other and have made it home to Dallas. The drive wasn't too bad, except for a stretch of highway in between Memphis and Little Rock that is closed because of construction and we sat in traffic without moving for over an hour... I thought Dirk was going to chew through the window and leap out and run away from me at that point.

We had been home for about 35 minutes on Saturday night when Dirk fell in my parents pool. I thought I was going to pee my pants from laughing so hard. He and Satin were running around the backyard running full speed in the direction of the pool... Satin stopped when she got to the edge and Dirk just kept on running, HA. I think he maybe thought it was like being at the dog beach and he could just run in and it would gradually get deeper? Instead he was completely underwater and drenched. He managed to get out of the pool (thank God he fell in near the steps!), but Satin just looked at him like "what the hell are you doing?!?!?"

I am going to be in Dallas for a little while... we found out a few weeks ago that my mom's cancer is back. So she had surgery last week and is meeting with her oncologists today and tomorrow to come up with the radiation/chemo plan and schedule.
So I'm here for now and possibly through the holidays... just trying to be flexible and do what I can to help out. Apparently this includes cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I already checked... Sonic is open on Thanksgiving. Just covering all my bases.

CLE

This weekend Dirk and I are driving from Chicago to Dallas with a pit stop for an evening in Memphis to see Pretty in Pink Megan.

I have a couple hours of CLE left to complete by the end of this month (nothing like waiting til the last minute, right?!), and was thinking since I have 15 hours in the car I should look for a podcast or something I could do on the drive.

Does anyone have any suggestions for CLE's that are either podcast or that can be downloaded to an iphone? Cheap is good, free is better, something interesting is best!
