Well…it was an okay day yesterday and the dinner was really good…had some fish and chips that were cooked perfectly and the rest of the dinners were great, too…I think the Bass ale might have had something to do with that….slept okay but I am still sore today…so, I think it must be the bed and that will be fixed when I get home tomorrow….I am starting to get excited for the wedding this aft…it has been such a pleasant couple of days and so low key with no drama that I am relaxed myself…I am looking forward to getting home tomorrow, though…just not as good of a traveler as I used to be…..more later….

Well…it has been a low key day today and there was nothing scheduled but we did go over to my son’s house for a while in the afternoon to just hang out…and now I’m getting ready to out for dinner at 7 at an Irish pub near here and then will make it an early night….I am still really sore from something and I need to make sure I take something for it before I go to dinner…might be the new bed here but I think it feels more like bike riding pain…oh, well….still have leftover pizza in the fridge for a snack for later so I’m going to keep dinner light…I did get a gift of some men’s care products from my son’s wife since it is the first time we’ve met…kind of a cool thing…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday…long but okay and it was fun to see everyone….slept okay but had weird dreams here in the hotel about an infestation of moths that were everywhere….the rehearsal went well and I finally got to meet my oldest son’s wife…didn’t get the chance to talk to her much but I think we are all going out to dinner tonight so there will be a better chance to talk….today looks like a nothing day where we are just going to hang out…haven’t even gotten to coffee yet but I have a coffee maker here in the room and I am going to make some in a minute…have leftover pizza in the fridge for breakfast so I really don’t have to do anything for a while…more later…

Well….I figured I’d do an update of the day so far…got over here on time and got my tux….oh, then I had beers and hung out with Steve for a while…now, I’m back here and just hanging out while I wait for 6 and the rehearsal….then out for pizza for dinner then back here for a cocktail or two…not a bad day so far but I think I got sunburned….more later……

Well….have been up for a while and didn’t sleep too well so today could be somewhat of a chore…have most of the stuff ready for the trip out for the wedding and I have just a few things to do around here to finish….and, this is one of them…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the car washed and waxed but then it rained so it will be spotted again..oh, well….I am going to take the computer with me to do updates over the weekend and give me something to watch if there is nothing on tv….need to get to the coffee and finishing up so I can get a bike ride in before I take off at noon….more later…

Well…running a little late and am waiting for the coffee to finish so I thought I’d come here and get this done…I may be turning the corner with the tooth…no pain this morning and the swelling seems to be going down…hope so….slept okay last night and feel okay this morning…have already been out to the grocery store to get the supplies I need for the trip and I need to get going on getting ready for that all day…need to get the car cleaned and laundry done but I’m not leaving until after noon tomorrow so that leaves me the morning to finish up…have all of the sites mapped out so I know where everything is and my hotel is right about in the middle of them so that worked out well….need to get to the papers and coffee and then get on it so I need to end here…more later…oh, I will be taking the computer and doing updates while I’m gone so stay tuned….

Well…running late today since I went over to Kos to do one first….it is teachers day and I wanted to comment on a couple of mine from my childhood….slept okay last night and with being good, feel okay today…didn’t get much accomplished yesterday but I did get the bike ride in and saw those two foxes that I am worried that the den is too close to the road…only about 20 yards off it and too close to people, too…I am waiting for them to come and clean the lot here so I can wash and wax the car for the trip Thursday…the dust from the vacuum truck will make that thing moot if I do it too soon…might have to wait until Thurs morning….not much to do today…going to start putting together the clothes I need for the weekend but that is about it….more later….

Well…I know the few of you that still come here everyday are expecting political stuff but, if you’ve ever tried to write on a daily basis, you know that there are times that it just doesn’t come…so, it’s a little bit of trail wildlife today. It started out in the first pond along the e-way where there were 3 or 4 muskrats swimming across the pond to the other side…..then a group of 20-30 turkeys just sauntered across the trail about another mile or so in…then, on 60th street, no more than 20 yards from the street there were two red fox kits just sitting on top of their den like they had no care in the world…took a picture of that one since it is so rare to see….then the normal contingent of deer an other assorted stuff finished off the day. It was a good day for wildlife…just not for politics…oh, well…

Well…running late today and I just don’t have any motivation to get moving…I think part of it is that I don’t really have anything to do so why do it fast?  Slept okay but, again, the allergies are killing me so that makes it hard to get going, too….other than lunch with T, it was just another normal Sunday with soccer and races in it and lots of vegging….going to try to do more today but I’m not sure why….not much to do today….going to work out and get the bike ride in before it rains but I hate having to wait for the temp to come up…it is May after all and it should be warmer…more later…

Well…it’s been a better day today with getting a bike ride in without rain and making a steelhead filet for dinner…and I had a pleasant surprise when T texted to have a late lunch and it was fun to catch up, have beers, and laugh a lot…for some reason, I always feel better after lunch with her…and the steelhead was just caught a week ago so the flavor was great with just olive oil, salt, and pepper….but, I am still blocked with political stuff…I think part of it is just overload of outrage and the toxicity that comes with it…just haven’t wanted to wade back into the mire…maybe tomorrow if I can work on a way to talk about it without internalizing it….not sure how long I can go before this crap corrodes something important…
