Well…survived the morning and the afternoon so far and do feel quite a bit better after eating pizza…I just get tired of cooking about once a month and have to have food that is bad for me…the question is, when can you stop caring about that kind of stuff? It does get old over time keeping track in your head of all of the calories you take in. I wonder if anyone else does that or is it just that I’ve had a weight problem my whole life? I’m sure you don’t care….

It looks like I’ll have some stuff to do this week…out with G tonight then with C tomorrow…Tommy Castro at Blues on the Mall Wed night…going to skip Ada this week…then Thurs, it’s my b-day and I guess K and I are going to Bonefish Grill for appetizers and martinis…that might be fun….more later….well…probably not but you never know…

I am a little disappointed that I didn’t hear from T before she left for vacation….

Well…I was right…you should have bet on Spain…but the match was not a lot of fun to watch. We did go out to the Mex place to watch it….and were the only English speaking people in the place…had loads of fun with K but feel like crap again today. I’m trying to get moving for coffee but not having a lot of luck at the moment….maybe a shower will help but I’m not holding my breath…more later…

Well…the boating was fun and I am really sunburned and sore from the beating you take in a boat going 70 across Lake Michigan. Going to have to take the day off of riding even; I feel so beat up that everything hurts and that makes it hard to walk. So, today looks like taking it easy until the stiffness goes away…I hope later today but you know how that works…the real pain takes about a day to come so Monday is going to be the bad one. But what the hell..it was worth it to be out and having fun again…lake Michigan was as warm as I can remember it and the lack of waves made the boat ride at least a little easier.

I do have something to say later about the habit the repubs have about just making stuff up that goes all the way back to ole GW and is alive and well with Jan Brewer of Arizona….more later….

Oh, forgot to talk about the rest of the day…it looks like out to watch the World Cup final with K later…my predictions have not been too accurate but I think it’s going to be the Netherlands that wins it…so bet on Spain…

Well…it’s early morning here and I.m trying to get the cobwebs out of my head to get ready for the day…you’ll be happy to hear that this is not going to be another day of boredom…have plans to get out on Lake Michigan this morning to hang out with some friends on boats. The same boat we almost flipped two years ago that resulted in a gash of 5 inches in my head, 15 stitches and a bill of 2 grand to fix it….nope, not concerned that it will happen again. It will be nice to be out and about reliving the fun that was a regular occurrence back then….

There may be a post later on important topics but I may be too sunburned to want to do that so check back about 6 or so…probably more likely that it will be Sunday…

Well…it is shaping up to be a fun weekend for a change…going out with friends tonight for a while and then out on the boats for the first time in a couple of years tomorrow. But, before that, the mundane intrudes again and I have to get groceries this morning and do the physical stuff that kinda keeps this old body in reasonable shape. so, on that note, have to get going to avoid the blue-hair brigade that clogs the aisles…more later…I promise…and it will be quite a bit more lucid than yesterday’s posts…some days it just doesn’t work…

Well…feel good this morning…there is something to be said for moderation…looks like a normal day today but I do have lunch with T so that should be fun. Might even be able to skip the bike ride since it’s going to rain and I think the legs could use a day off. I know, this is kind of boring for you but you should live this and you would really see what boring is. But, I will promise a couple of new posts this aft since I do have that placeholder from a couple of days ago to finish and who knows, there may be new stuff in the newspapers this morning that may generate some interest…more later…

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….
