Big Week

Greetings, True Believers!

I'm back with another delay and unanticipated blog concerning the life and times of one Tom Cathey. As I'm writing this, my wife and I are getting ready to watch the first hour of the Texas vs. Texas Tech game. We love football season here in the Cathey household. Then at 8:00 p.m. we'll begin watching the undercard to the huge Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Juan Manual Marquez bout on PPV. Amanda's a big Mayweather fan, and it's expected the be a hell of a bout. I don't care either way, as long it's fun to watch. So I've got Amanda into boxing, football and professional wrestling. I'm still working on Star Wars figures, but something tells me that's not going to stick. I'll keep trying, though.

Last week I was mired in a work training at hotel near the airport. It was relatively informative, but more importantly it was good that i didn't have to drive the full 45 miles to work this past week. It was tiring, though. Maybe it was because I was out of my routine. I managed to pick-up the recently released X-MEN ORIGINS film featuring Wolverine on my haul of media. I've also been on a big Beatles kick. Has anyone ever heard of these, Beatles? They made some pretty good music. Who'd have thought?

So, I got to write some this past week, but not as much as I'd have liked. If I could just manage to take a few more hours this week I'd get through a rewrite. But I will say that I began work on my third novel this week. Not too many details, but I'd been piecing it together for so long (5 years) that I'd put something down on notebook paper. It'll take at least through 2010 to finish (it's kind of epic), but I like the idea. "The Plunge" is what I'm currently on. My editor (wife) has fallen behind on editing, so I've pushed ahead. Speaking of my wife, she's getting really, really pregnant. Nausea is getting better, and we'll be finding out the sex of our baby at the end of the month.

So coming-up this week I have the Blink 182 concert on Thursday night, which I will be attending with my buddy Martin. On Saturday the 26th we're getting some furniture for our gameroom. Well, that's just about it. Getting ready for fight time!

Best to Ita....

I'll be back, soon! Best wishes to you and yours and good hunting!

Until next time...
