Today I worked on investment club stuff; reading about end of year tax filing requirements etcetera. Since I'm the treasurer, it helps if I know these things.

I looked up a few companies' annual reports, but didn't enter any data into the SSG (Stock Selection Guide).

Then to Wende's work via Taco Bell, bringing her lunch to munch, and we had some chocolate cake because yesterday was her 29th birthday!

Then to YRUU in the Woodlands where they talked about plans for their show on 23 March. It will be more emo and less punk than the last show they hosted. I don't remember all the band names, or even any of them really.

Back toward home, listening to Billy Graham on 105.7 KHCB. I listen to KHCB each Sunday because KTRU plays jazz all day on Sunday. Bluh.

More investment club stuff and then set up the phone-sync software for my phone. Then it was time for Youth Follies at Emerson Church.

Youth Follies is a skit/performance/show type fundraiser that the youth group at Emerson puts on each year. Parents donate time and $ to make spaghetti dinner and then everyone else pays $ to youth group for dinner and the junior high wait the tables. Jr high group gets all the tips.

This year was unique for me because I was not involved with any part of the planning. I just watched the show. Actually I was given a part in the show when I bought my ticket. I got to be a contestant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire spoof they did. Pretty funny stuff.

Super cool is that Phat Pat, Heidi and kT all came to watch the show, and Joan came in from Austin to swing dance with David in the show! So fabulous!

I thought the funniest skit was "Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Couch," in which the old stinky couch came to life in someone's dream and tried to assimilate her and then when she woke up, it was there for real. Totally Elm Street stuff.

Great show, and a lot longer than last year's I believe. 1.5 hours including the intermission skit done by the junior high in which they spoofed the wack presidential election from last fall. Very funny.

"Mr Bush, what is your favorite Texas City?"

"Kilgore."

"Mr Gore, what is your favorite story from the bible?"

"The one with the burning bush."

After the show, I talked to Pat and Alison while people cleaned up the room around us. We were pretty much in the way so we moved after Denise brought that fact to our attention.

Ate a couple more ice cream sandwiches while Pat described his theory that he and I are both twins derived from Peter Pan in Never Never Land, and his experience at the 22,000 youth PAL rally last weekend. Big fun stuff!

Now it's time for B-E-D bed.
