Today was the first Saturday I got to wake up when I wanted to and accomplish what I wanted to in a long time. I was able to get some random homework done, have lunch with Brandi and in a bit we’re going to have a night on the town with a family from church.
Anyway, during my “do what I want” Saturday, I came across loads of interesting stuff on the discovery channel. The first was the 7 great wonders of Egypt, followed by The Mystery of the Great Sphynx, and finally it featured the Death of Cleopatra. This included many interested things I had not heard to date and some cool useless facts I can lay on folks when I want to appear smarter than I really am.
I also got to DVR (digitally record) “Rameses, Wrath of God or Man?” which is playing tonight while Brandi and I are gone. I’m so frustrated with myself that I had a chance to see these things when I was in the middle east 4 1/2 years ago and didn’t take the few extra days to. I guess I’ll just enjoy this picture of Khaffra’s Sphynx overlooking his Great Pyramid on the Geza Plateau. The Sphynx was actually built by Khaffra’s son Jeffratha in his honor.
