well..just got back from Ada…won at pool again and had a great time….and you’ll be happy to hear I didn’t stop for a bottle of whiskey on the way home…small victories, I know, but victories nonetheless….Tom gave me his Bind Faith album on a flash drive and it is so cool to have them again…Yeah, I know….dating myself again but it is still good music….anything else? No, not really…I feel bad that Germany lost but it is offset by Spain being in the final for the first time…looking forward to the final on Sunday…I’ve seen every match and it has been fun to see the stories play out….not more later since I need to make some food….

Well…another boring night…do I sense a theme here? I do still feel like crap again today and I don’t know why…well, I do but I’m not going to share that right now. I am right for half of the wold Cup final…now, all that has to happen is for Germany to beat Spain today and I will be right for both of them…yay for me…hmmmm..can’t even work up any enthusiasm for being right…so I should get going to coffee….more later…

Back again…have to do a wildlife alert this morning…what is it with tiny little bunnies everywhere? I must have seen a dozen of them cut across in front of me today…and some of them are pretty fast…but why do they feel compelled to cross in front of me? Weird…
A little farther out, I saw a doe with two fawns just sitting beside the trail…can’t remember ever seeing twin fawns before. Then, there were two muskrats swimming in the little ponds that are next to m-6….seemed interesting to me…that’s enough for now…

Well…survived the night and I was right…I do feel like crap…need to go out for coffee to get the brain working and find some topics for later..so, I will be back after the bike ride….it may take a couple of hours so give me a little time…more later…

I’m back but still feel pretty crappy so I don’t know how long this will be…the day has been kind of a bore so far but I think it’s a good one to just veg and watch the World Cup since it is so hot. So, that is what I’m going to do…I do have an idea for a later post that I think will deal with the great, unheard, center of the country whose voice is being drowned out by the screamers on the right…haven’t heard many screamers on the left so I am leaving them out of this….

Well….an interesting day today..well…not interesting but more than just sitting here and doing nothing…went over to K’s for some outdoor and pool time and had fun….got scorched and then decided that it was not time to stop….so, it’s going to be a long night and I’m going to feel like crap tomorrow…but at this point, I really don’t care…I’ll do anything to drive back the boredom…yeah, I know, that is going to have to be addressed at some point…at the end of the summer? Not now, anyway….

Okay..I promise today that there will be some topical stuff…not just the everyday workings of and old guys mind…I wonder if the lack of topical stuff is related the the holiday weekend? Have not been watching any news of the past few days and it has been quite relaxing not knowing what is going on in the outside world but that just shrinks my world even more and it’s getting a little constricting. that could be a topic for later in the day…how my world used to be this big, wide-open place where there were possibilities and challenges everyday and now it isn’t..it’s more like enduring it again and that is just not a lot of fun.

Nothing but the routine for today as far as I know…K did say something about having a little bash at her place but I’m not holding my breath. Have to start figuring out more things to do…more later…

Well… that was quite a boring Saturday…although the soccer matches were fun to watch…my prediction, after watching Germany take apart Argentina, is that Germany goes all the way to the cup. There are no other teams left that looked even half as good as they did…I’ll even put a couple of bucks on it if you want…you decide. No plans for the day…didn’t go out to watch the fireworks last night…sitting here and sipping a martini had a lot more attraction than riding my bike in the dark….and by the time the fireworks would go…it was the third martini going down so it wouldn’t have been a good idea. I CAN think straight sometimes…

As you can tell from the lack of outraged posts, I’m having some success with controlling my anger…never really did have that much of a problem but I still feel like crap when I’m always ready to blow about everything. So maybe I’ll try humor instead…there are enough angry people writing out there so maybe that will make it easier….it will surely be easier on me. So maybe more later since I really don’t have anything else to do today….

Well…don’t remember a lot about last night but I think there was a race on..no sleeping pill and don’t feel too bad today..have already been out on the bike since I wanted to get done before the Argentina Germany match. Not a lot else to say right now…think I’ll take it easy today but might go out later to see the fireworks. More later…

Well…out for a while last night and I feel a little crappy today…no, a lot crappy..I do need to get groceries and take care of G’s house today so I’ll have to get going soon…would like to just hit the couch and veg but can’t but I guess that’s my own fault..can take a nap later when soccer is on so that is something to look forward to…I’ll have to come back later and complete this…more later…

Hmmm…I’m back after doing everything that I mentioned earlier including re-ducttaping the car at G’s…even got back to see Brazil get beaten in the World Cup…congrats Netherlands…feeling quite a bit better now and I’m going to take the rest of the day off…just like I do every day it seems…if there is anything that gets me going later, I’ll come back and do another one…

Well…I know I’m a little late with this one but I had some stuff to get done…don’t feel as bad as I should today…had a fun night out with Tom and won at pool again…started to watch Avatar last night when I got home and had to finish it this morning..one of the reasons I’m late. Don’t know what all the excitement was about the movie…certainly not an oscar nominee to my mind but neither was the Hurt Locker, the movie that won best picture…I can’t remember a recent winner that really made you say “that was a movie!”

Don’t have a lot to do today but there is outrage coming about a columnist for the Detroit News who says that Obama should lay off business and go back to the policies of the Bushies….yep, you heard it right…I’ll be back after working out and running some errands to take that one on…more later….

Well…another early morning and my brain is still pretty foggy so I think his one will be short…not a lot to do today but since it is Wednesday, it’s out for pool in Ada later and maybe a haircut this morning. We’ll see…

As I said, not a lot to say this morning….I’ll be back after coffee with a clearer head and something to say…will probably post the rest of the novel if you’ve been waiting for it and I think I’m going to write a new one in real time starting this weekend so check back for that one…or not, if there is anything going on and I have something else to do. I don’t want you to think that this is all I have to do…well, it almost is, but I still have my delusions and I’m going to keep them for a while…I like them. More later…
