Well…a low key night last night since G was tired and wanted to stay in…so I did, too….saved some cash and I feel pretty good today so that is a benefit. Did have some problems withe the car yesterday…had the charge light come on with the ones for the rear lights when I was stopping to get my newspapers but when I got done with coffee, the were out again…thought I was going to have to spend a few hundred to get the alternator replaced…but I don’t know if this is scarier…the car will be done if the computer is going…I did start it last night and the lights were still out so I’ll go out for coffee today with my fingers crossed. Yeah, I know, a pretty boring life but I do have things to do today…out to Ada with Tom and then maybe hook up with K for part of the Wings game since I still can’t get it here…damn you dish….

That’s about it for now..I do have a topic that I’ve been telling you about for a couple of weeks that I want to get to…yep, it’s the one about corporate money buying the election for the repubs…why do the repubs hate America so much? Oops, not supposed to talk politics here….more later…

Well…a long day yesterday and the Lions won which put me into shock…but I feel okay if a little tired. I did go out to Vinnies and hung out with C for a while and then back here to chow down on the chicken I had in the slow cooker which came out pretty good…this one is going to be a little short for now since I still feel a little fuzzy…going to be some things to do this week but they are all things you’ve heard about for the last few months..I’ll bet you could tell ME my schedule by now…I don’t know if you’re that interested…there are times when I’m not that interested…more later…

Don’t know how many topics there will be for later…I feel like I owe you quite a few but you know that Sundays are days that I take some time off from the outrage….I promise I’ll get to at least one…

Well….what I thought was going to happen in the Michigan-State game did, Michigan’s defense just couldn’t stop State and the Denard show kind of came to a halt. But, we all knew that it couldn’t last…let’s just hope that they can improve enough to get in a bowl this year…and it was fun to watch up until this week. A good thing from yesterday is that the Wings spoiled the Hawks banner raising by beating them 3-2 last night….and all of our offense came from the second line so that was good to get them going. Hmmmm…should this have been in sports?

Kind of a bittersweet day today…it’s the last Sunday Funday with C since he is moving to MP later in the week…don’t really know what to say about it but it’s been a fun run for the last 10 years or so and I guess I’m smacking right up against that change thing again…going to try not to think about it or make it more important than it is…but it is the end of an era here in GR. Oh, well…one thing I’ve learned in the last couple of years is that things change; that the life that you create for yourself has to be flexible enough to absorb the blows and embrace them….but, don’t I get to wallow for a while at least? Just for today, anyway. Not much else to do today….yeah, you’ve heard that everyday for the last few months…I’m tired, but will still cook and watch the Lions lose again…I guess that’s some consistency…more later…maybe…

Well…a fun night last night at G’s birthday party…it was great to see all of her friends that I haven’t seen in almost a year…my bean dip was a hit and the Red Wings crushed Anaheim so it was a two-fer…and I took it kind of easy so I feel okay this morning…weird dreams about kidnapping and beatings, though, that are fading as fast as I’m writing this…can’t remember who the female lead was but I do remember there were trains all around and some city like Newark. Yep, you know I’m kind of weird….and I don’t want to get better….not a lot to do today…just get the bike ride in this morning and then get ready for the Michigan game…looks like no group for the game so it might be here or maybe out to the new Peppino’s….was thinking about going out to M’s but the 40 mile drive is just not something I want to do…I do need to thaw the food for tomorrow…more later…

Well…a night of no booze or sleep aids and I can tell it was a good idea…even though I was up at 5, I still feel a hundred percent better than I did yesterday. Today looks kind of busy, at least for the morning…have to do the grocery shopping and then make my bean dip for G’s birthday bash later….and I am going to try some texas style ribs in the slow cooker. I am getting disappointed with what is going on in this country with the huge influx of foreign money as a result of the Citizen’s United decision by the Supreme Court. That is going to be a topic for later on today while the wings are cooking and I don’t have anything else to do. It is still nice to be able to go out on the bike in a t-shirt….more later…

Well..an interesting day yesterday but I didn’t have time to get the political post out and for that I’m sorry…the day just got away from me when G called and asked me to go over to wait for the cable guy to come…that stretched into HH with T, which was a lot of fun, sitting on the deck at Rose’s in EGR. By the time I got home, I really wasn’t in the mood to write anything and the time with T made me happy so there was no outrage to put down on paper…or on the screen. So, I’ll try to do better today but feeling as I do…kind of crappy….it will probably be a little later in the day. More later….

I guess this is later…not a lot to do today…I think I have the night off from everyone so I’m just going to take it easy all day…have to finish up a movie here in a couple of minutes so I can get it in the mail but I’m hitting the couch to do it…can’t wait to feel better…

Well…feel a little better after getting a ride in and just had to pass this along…was on the fastest downhill section of the trail this morning and a red-tailed hawk that was perched on the fence that runs along it took off and flew right down the trail in front of me for at least 50 yards with me just about 6 feet behind and to the right. I was so close I could count the feathers on his wingtips and tail…it was the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long while….

Oh, there is a dead mouse alert on for today…must have seen 20 of them on the trail….more later…I think about the corporate money that is being used to buy the repubs again…

Well…it was a fun night out in Ada…not really a night but an afternoon…won at pool and was successful at tamping down the anger..it was a little weird taking it easy in the car but it was nice to walk in the door here without even a little guilt for my behavior. But I was not good when I got home so I have another day of trying to get the toxins out and feel like crap. Oh, well…will probably have to go to the grocery store this morning and I am not looking forward to it when I feel like this…or I could do a fast food day…haven’t done one of those in a long time. As you can tell, I’m not too lucid this morning and there are no ideas in my head so I’ll end here for now…more later…

Well…don’t know if I will have any earth-shattering posts for you later today…I was thinking about Boehner and his band of miscreants as one but I’m just not sure that it has jelled enough to make sense. So, I may have to let that one percolate for another day or so…I’ve just had a lot of jumbled thoughts but one that has been bothering me is a little personal and a failing that I’ve been working on for some time now. You know the issue…letting my anger boil over in my personal life..I’ve been getting angry at everyone and everything again and I, again, need to do something about it. This whole thing was triggered by another person almost running me down in a crosswalk starting out on the ride this morning…it made me so mad that I almost allowed that person to ruin my ride on this glorious Michigan fall day. It took almost 5 miles before I stopped seething and there is something wrong with that…I’ve also noticed that my driving is creeping back to aggressive again and I’m bitching about people all the time.

So, I think my path here is quite clear…I need to start thinking about what I’m doing again; I’m going to try to not say one bad thing about anyone for the rest of the day….I’m going to smile more than I scowl, and I’m going to try to shift into laid back mode in the car when I head out to Ada today…I know I feel better about myself when I do these things but it is harder than it looks…these behaviors have to be turned into habits just like the anger and meanness….I hope I don’t get too relaxed that I can’t work up outrage for my posts…I wonder where the balance is?

Well…out with G last night and had some fun…but was not a good boy after I got home so I feel a little crappy today…but that’s okay…don’t have a lot to do today and with the weather changing, I can’t get out on the bike until later in the day…I do have pool out in Ada with Tom later and it is nice to not stack lunch with T on top of it…don’t really need to get a head start. Decided to make my bean dip for G’s birthday party on Friday so my contribution is taken care of…along with the bottle of Hot Damn that is getting to be tradition sitting around her outdoor fireplace. Not much else to say right now so I’ll stop and head for the couch for a while…as I said, I do feel a little crappy today…more later…
