Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday but didn’t do a lot…did take the bike out to the car show on 28th street and that was fun…the computer on my bike failed, though, and I had to reset it losing the 1364 miles I’ve ridden so far this summer but that happened last year, too, so I’m not surprised. What about today…hmmm…just watched the F1 race from Spa and now I’m debating with myself whether to ride today or not…my legs have been really dead the past couple of days and could use the day off…but it’s so nice outside with no wind that I want to go. Okay…arguing with myself…is that a sign I’m going more crazy than normal? Probably, but there is no one else to argue with. Topics? Yep, have a couple but I don’t know when I’ll get to them…so, you’ll have to come back later…

Oh, not sure about Sunday Funday yet since K doesn’t get back from Cali until later in the day…but I’m supposed to meet up with C if he gets back into town…we’ll see…

Well…it’s damn loud here this morning with the church behind me having some event that has had music blaring since 6:45 am….how do they get away with this stuff? It will be another day where I won’t be able to open my windows because of that crap. Yeah, I’m a little crabby this morning since I love to let the morning air in and cool this place off and now I can’t even hear my tv it’s so loud. Why don’t noise ordinances apply to churches? Another instance where religious people don’t give a damn about anyone except their particular group of followers. So, they get to have their event and I have to leave my place for the day since it is so loud. I don’t know if there will be more later…oh, might have to comment on the conversion of DC to Glen Beckistan today…

Well…took it a little easier last night and feel better today…I think the allergies are flaring up again and it could be the reason I’ve been quite tired lately…or the not sleeping but I should be used to that by now. Not much to do today except groceries…have to get something different to eat…way too much pork loin this week since it was on sale last week and the veggies are coming out of my ears…I think I may have to get some fast food since it’s been a couple of weeks since I last had some…maybe Taco Bell…Oh, I may have lunch with T today if it works out and that would be fun to start the weekend. I should have some topics later today or I’ll continue with the afternoon portion of the boring day in the life of me…more later…

Well…don’t know if it’s the day out yesterday or just my general malaise but I can’t get any outrage working today…read 4 papers at the coffee shop and another 4 online and there just aren’t any topics that have piqued my interest. Or, I’m just tired of being outraged…I’m not sure. So, I don’t know if you know what an unemployed 57 year old’s day looks like, and you probably don’t care but it’s that or nothing…okay, I hear you all saying “NOTHING” but I’m not listening so here goes.

Hmmm…usually up by 6-6:12, a habit that still hangs on after doing it for so many years even though the batteries have been dead in my alarm clock for a couple of years. Then, I turn on the computer and the rest of the equipment and check the e-mail before I hit the couch to continue to wake up which usually takes until about 7 or so. The New York Times online is next followed by the Washington Post and Post Politics to get a read on what the topic of the day is going to be. The first post usually comes next so you guys will have something to read when you get into work. Sending out the two e-mails that I send every morning comes next and, by that time, it’s about 8 or so and time to get cleaned up and get ready for the Kava House that is just around the corner. 4 papers and a medium house coffee keeps me busy for the next hour or so then back here to read the responses to the e-mails if they are there. Bored Yet? You probably should be. Then, it’s an hour on the weight machine to try to stay in shape and get warmed up for the bike ride that usually goes from 12 to 30 miles and gets me to around lunch. Okay, I know you’re bored so I’ll stop here….more later…

Well…Tom’s starting a new job today so yesterday’s trip out to Ada had a little more whiskey than normal…as always, I feel like crap today and have been up since about 4…not going to do much today except the normal stuff…I did pickle some of the crops a couple of days ago….tried some green beans and they came out great…along with the zucchini, things you never see pickled. I am going to try some asparagus over the weekend…yep, as you can see, I’m a little bored so I have to amuse myself…and I do that quite regularly…more later….

Well…this one is going to be short since I really don’t have a lot to say right now…looks like a normal day for a Wednesday…out to Ada later for pool and beer with the normal workout this morning….I will promise that there will be some topical stuff later this morning or early afternoon…I am still quite elated with my son’s news but that is tempered by the overeating from yesterday that I feel guilty about…yep, I have a well developed sense of guilt about almost everything that I do…more later…

Well…this is one that I love to write….when one of your children exceed your expectations not only with their success in business but their growth as a person you just have to write about it…I am so proud of J (and you can’t tell which child since they all start with a J)…was on the phone with him for an hour talking about the events of the week where he works. On his own initiative…and on his own time, he attacked an IT problem that his company has been working on for over a year and solved it in a week….and was invited to the home office to have the CEO thank him in person, and was offered a promotion and a move to Dearborn….It was just neat to hear him so excited about his work and his life…but I guess this was not unexpected..of anyone I know, he is the only one that can walk into a room and know he’s the smartest one there…always been that way…but he lets his actions do the talking for him….I just love that kid like I love the other three and I am so thankful that we raised such good people….that have been an addition to the world… 😉

Well..out with G last night and did a pretty good job but no booze when I got home and I didn’t die from boredom…didn’t sleep for crap but didn’t die so that is a plus…going to try it again tonight without sleeping pills, too, so I may be crabby as heck tomorrow. I do need to clean this place up today (where have you heard that before) and pickle some of the veggies I got from C before they spoil…and look for work as always with a goal of at least 5 resumes going out. But who knows, still not a lot of things out there I want to do and I think I have enough cash to get through Sept….I do have to get supplies today since I blew that off yesterday and I need to get the crop timing down better…

I did finish “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” a couple of days ago and it was okay but not that special…I think Jonathan Kellerman does a better job in creating suspense…and the Robin Cook book “Chromosome Six” was more of a page turner…just finished that yesterday and going to start another today from the big bag o books that T gave me…more later…

Well…that was a long weekend and I need to give my liver a rest today…so no booze, only water today so I’ll start to feel better…I think I’ll go back to the normal routine today, too, but I do need to get some resumes out and probably should do that after the ride….no beach today since I do need to go get supplies for the next crop…I think I’m going to go slow today, make a good dinner, and try to get the pain out of my shoulders…it has been bad lately and the ibuprofen doesn’t really work anymore so I’ll have to try something new…I know, this one is not that interesting but I will have some topics later that might be…but, who knows…more later…
