July 26th

Well…I think I’m getting old…just feel tired this morning and the brain is not working too well…it’s not the SF but it may have had a contributing effect…so, this one is going to be short so I can get in the shower and head for coffee….more later….

Didn’t write enough this morning to make this a part two…so I thought I’s add it to this one…not a lot to do today except out with G later this evening and, in a pleasant surprise, having lunch with T again this week either Wed or Fri…that will be fun. Yeah, I know, my writing is not very good today…but it feels the same way in my head..kind of disjointed and sticky…no flow at all…so, I’ll have lunch and come back later to try again…that one will have to be a part two, I guess…

July 25th

Well…it’s 9:18 and again, I have everything done that I wanted to do today…except write this which I’m doing now and then it will be 9:25 and I’ll really have everything done. Not much going on today…last night’s Dr. Who on BBC America was a good one with none of the contrived cliffhangers that usually grace season finales. What else about today….oh, will probably have a limited SF but with K in Chicago, it looks like just C and I but that is okay…probably go to Vinnie’s and play some Keno and drink cheap beer. that’s about it for now…I did work up some outrage yesterday if you look down to the next one…going to try to do that again today but I’m not sure how successful I’ll be…we’ll see….

July 24th part two….

Well…don’t you just love it when you have a clean fridge? Yep…finally did do something that I said I was going to…I guess it was all of that coffee I had watching the F1 stuff this morning…got out on the bike and even rode over to the veg stand to get some more home-grown tomatoes…you know, the ones that taste like tomatoes. Probably won’t do much the rest of the day, will probably even wait until tomorrow to post anything else since this is a no newspaper day; I have to take at least one day off or my head will explode with all of the heat that is in the news today. But, who knows, I could see something on TV that might make me want to comment…

July 24th

Well…took it easy last night and feel pretty good this morning…have already been out to the grocery store again and now I’m having coffee and watching F1 qualifying. I AM going to get on some cleaning today starting with the fridge since there is no room to put anything new in it….it’s strange how you collect half empty bottles and other stuff over time…and the spills are starting to gross me out so that will be done today. Not much else to report but there will be more later today since I have no other plans…and the rain is going to be around for a while so no bike until later…but I am looking forward to going out. More later…

A little note of thanks….

This is something that I have been thinking about for a while now…Just wanted to say thanks to those of you who have visited this little slice of my mind, some of you even come back every day and I hope that there are times that it is worth your while…that I can get the conversation started on the things that I think are important and that are important to you. I know that the daily writing has given me more discipline and I have something to look forward to everyday; something that is quite rare when you are Overqualified and Unemployed. I promise that I’ll try hard not to waste your time; but if you’ve read this at all, you know that I’m not successful all of the time…but if I’ve made you laugh or think just a couple of times, that will be enough for me.

So, to my readers I say thank you, and I sincerely hope you’ll keep coming back if just so see how far off the rails I’ve gone….

had to pass this along….

Well…the world has officially gone crazy…read in the news this morning that there is a brewery on Scotland that is making beer that sells for $765 a bottle but that is not the best part…they only made 9 bottles and the bottles come wrapped in dead animals. Yep…dead squirrels, weasels, and rabbits that have the bottles sewn inside and you pour through their mouths. I’ve been on this earth a long time but I think this is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen…more later…

July 23rd

Well…another night out with G last night but I don’t feel nearly as crappy as I thought I would so maybe today I’ll get to some topics that you want to read…I do have a comment on the ongoing efforts by the repubs to scrub ole GW’s image and blame all of the lingering effects of his policies on Obama. So that one will be later this morning after I get groceries and coffee…I think I may have to stop going out for a while….two days in a row and I am quite run down both mentally and physically. No plans for the weekend yet and that may be a good thing…I can use the rest…more later…

July 22nd

Well…another Wednesday out yesterday and I feel like crap today….my eyes are even worse than normal and the computer screen is kind of blurry even with my glasses on…so if there are misspellings it’s because I can’t see, not that I can’t spell…not going to do much today as you could probably already tell….I did write quite a bit yesterday so I think I’ll take the morning off…come back this aft and I promise there will be new stuff for you…

July 21st part two…

Well….as you can see from the previous posts, I have been a little outraged today but I think the outrage is justified given the things I’ve seen. On a more pleasant note, I got past 1000 miles for the summer on the bike today…about 6 weeks earlier than last summer so the goal of over 2K for the summer appears to be within reach…yay! It is damn hot today…have been trying to not use the air for a couple of reasons….I don’t like air that much; I’d prefer to hear the sounds and smell the smells of summer but since they are working on the church behind my place, I have to keep this place closed up or the beeping from the heavy equipment will drive me nuts. I never run it in the car….there’s nothing better than the wind in your hair…well…part of it is the air doesn’t work to well anymore…after all, the car has almost 300K on it….maybe more later…
