It was great.  We went to the beach, visited Embry-Riddle down in Daytona Beach, walked around downtown, and even saw the fireworks show last night with my aunt, uncle, and cousin, who has recently graduated and is looking for a job.  She was able to offer her sympathies, too.  My parents brought a whole stack of old records donated to them, for me to flip through and pick out what I wanted to keep.  I found a whole bunch of ABBA, an Elton John greatest hits record (without Tiny Dancer, though, something I was slightly disappointed about), some great Fleetwood Mac albums (including two copies of <i>Rumours<\/i>), Pat Benetar, REO Speedwagon, Steppenwolf, and a copy of Pink Floyd&#8217;s <i>The Wall<\/i> in great condition.  I didn&#8217;t realize what a great song Elton John&#8217;s &#8220;Goodbye Yellow Brick Road&#8221; was until I listened to it on the turntable&#8230;  It&#8217;s an experience I highly recommend.<\/p>\n<p>Saw Ray from Luhrs today at the video store&#8230;  Talked with him for a good long while.  He was probably the guy at Luhrs whose company I enjoyed the most.  It was good to see him.  Picked up the French version of <i>Cyrano de Bergerac<\/i>&#8230;  It&#8217;s going to be a dramatic evening  :o)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David and my parents left earlier this afternoon at the end of a great week&#8230; The apartment was a bit crowded, but there were people here to talk to and who sympathized with me and prayed for me.
