05:46 pm - Free Comic Book Day and other things
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. This is a celebration where people get free comics for showing up to their local store. Comics and Manga have never been better, so why not give this art form a try for free. http://www.freecomicbookday.com for a list of what is being given away and where you can get them. I will be at KC Comics tomorrow at Noon to get my free comics along with my monthly box cleaning.
Iron Man movie is after that. I wish I could see it with Mark tonight to get a chance to talk, but I get out of work too late to do so. It has the hard core fans liking it, so that says something in and of itself. I am not a hard core Iron Man fan, but I do want to see the movie.
The relatively quiet weekends I am having over the next few weeks are a. for my sanity and b. because I am going to the Preakness on May 17th at Pimlico. It will be my first Preakness, so I will have a 12 hour day between getting there, the event and getting home. I will not be drinking, but will be getting a Preakness glass for mom as a late Mom's day gift. I also hope to win some Exacta's or hey how about the Preakness Trifecta. It is usually a good bet to do Exacta and Trifectas when you have a 1-5 shot in the field. I do enjoy Horse Racing as a casual fan. I am lucky to have the Preakness in my backyard.

01:45 pm - Busy Work Weekend
I am not doing much this weekend except for trying to get my Learners Permit renewed. I tried to do that today and the line was a half hour long and the room was full of License renewal people. I just decided to wait a few days and come back before I go to work one day next week.
I also went to the local Comic Book shop. I have been wanting to pimp Free Comic Book Day more, but I haven't been. It is next Saturday and you can choose from several types of comics (usually at least 10 titles) and sometimes Manga. http://www.freecomicbookday.com to find a local shop near you and for titles.
I also got my Birthday gift for my mother. It is a set of cookware from Sears. Mom has wanted a new set of cookware for her Birthday/Mothers Day. She turns 70 this year on next Sunday.
