I Am So Jealous

By now I am sure that my brother and his other half(ED) are having a wonderful time on the high seas on Celebrity Cruise Lines' , Century. Hey Mark, it was 40 here today. We are having a heat wave. I can picture it now ,basking in the sun and enjoying multiple adult libations. It was about a year ago when Val and I were planning on going cruisen. Oh well, you two boys enjoy and have a cold one for me and Val. Can't wait to hear all about it

17 In A Row

Drake held Northern Iowa without a basket in the last 5 minutes 32 seconds, while rallying from a four-point deficit, to extend its school-record winning streak to 17 games with a 58-54 Missouri Valley Conference victory past Northern Iowa Saturday night.Drake, owning the nation's third longest active winning streak behind Kansas (19) and Memphis (18) improved its record to 18-1 which is the best start in school history.

What A Terrible Waste

Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday. I don't want to believe it was drug related but everybody autmatically thinks the worse. I hope his latest movie, Batman "The Dark Knight" where he plays the "Joker" will be released despite his demise.

So Far So Good

Well, it hasn't been easy, but I have managed to workout every day. I have dragged my derriere out of bed every weekday morning at 3:30 and am on the treadmill by 4:00-4:15. Needless to say by nine at night I am pooped. I hope to get back to 6 or 7 miles a day. Till we meet again.....

So It Begins

Well, it's time to start working out again. I must say I have been quite the load, couch potatoe, lounge lizzard, etc. I am officially starting tomorrow. You ask why not today and I answer tomorrow is soon enough. I am setting a goal of no less than 4 miles per day. My treadmill and I are going to become best friends with weights factored in too. I will have a progress report periodically. Wish me luck!

We Are Talking Cold

The next day it's going to be cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. Weather forecast for this weekend sucks.....won't get above zero and snow Sunday. I love snow the freezing of the nose hairs I can do without! Stttttay wwwwarm.

Sister Sue

Well, sis got her MRI and Cat Scan back and it's not what we all wanted but it could have been a lot worse. There are two small spots on her brain and one on her liver, thank God they are small. Surprisingly enough her chest cavity is clear. Now, if she would just put her mind to it and quit smoking. She is finally going to start chemo next week. She is most upset about losing her hair but I assured her that wigs today are nothing like they used to be and there are designer scarfs that are very popular now. At least she doesn't have to wear a toupee, for some reason they can't quite get that right.

Bowling

OK, so I vented a , but I do so feel better about bowling. We had a meeting with the city board, league officers, and team captains and set things straight. Let me just say, without going into detail, a couple of ladies and I use the term loosely, tried to come in and take over the league. Well, after the meeting they pretty much were put in their place. The results of the meeting must have been what I needed. I bowled pretty good, 177-199-201.

Bowling

There was a time that bowling was the most important sport to me. Now I fear I want to say goodbye to something so dear to me. You ask why? Well, let me tell you a little story. This year our league decided to move to a different establishment and I have no problem with where we bowl but I do have problems with the new people who decided to join our league. There are a couple of pompass ass' that have decided to sink a ship that has been afloat for more than 20+ years. Someone who wants to break down something that for some of us that has been a sanctuairy where we can forget all our daily troubles and be with friends. To this person, leave and take your shit somewhere else. You are not wanted, no one wants a cancer like you around.

Can You Hear It

Do you hear it……..the sounds of planes, satellite trucks, and news people rolling out of Iowa to New Hampshire.
No more phone calls, political ads on TV, and political ads in your mail box!!! Campaigners were every where, around every corner. I was even approached by a Hillary campaigner who came out from behind one of our bushes while I was shoveling snow.

Peace and quiet has finally returned.

Finally He's Back

It's about time my bro blogged again, seyah1.blogspot.com, like what the hell has he been doin? I really shouldn't talk I haven't blogged for a while. I don't think it's because we are busy I think it's being more lazy than anything. I will try to make an effort to do better. I could blogg every day on the weather here, blink your eyes and it changes. We have about 7 inches of snow on the ground and it was colder than a well digger's ass this morning -16 with windchill. Cold enough to make your nose hairs freeze. I love snow but I am ready for warm weather and am jealous as hell of my brother going on ANOTHER cruise.....

Caucus "08

Well, it's a pretty important election year and all the candidates are vying for our votes. The big caucus day is tomorrow and will be glad when it's over. The phone has done nothing but ring with volunteers trying to get you to commit one way or the other. Val and I are going to caucus for the first time, (for Hillary), it should be interesting. Come Friday they will all be gone, they will all be flying far far away.

"Happy Halloween"

This was a sign in a grocery store, pretty much says it all..

Chicago-God I Love his City

I am sitting here in my hotel room and view is spectacular. Lake Michigan, the museums, and Soldier Field..what a sight. We are getting ready to head over to Wrigley Field maybe catch some Cub's batting practice. It is going to be a grand day....good friends, baseball, and of course some adult libations.

We said goodbye to Cecilia Canc'er and The Rocketts

Well, this has been a few days I care not to remember. I mentioned a few weeks ago that my younger sister had to have a biopsy done. Well, yadda yadda and what it all boiled down to was she had cancer in her right lung. Well, she had surgery this past Wednesday and they ended up taking the upper lobe of the right lung and all the lymph nodes, hence the title of the blog. Prior to the surgery she was told that it would be the most painful thing she will have experienced for a long time. Holy shit, was that Doctor right. My brother Mark and I saw her this morning and it was gut wrenching to see her in that much pain. She was ready to give up and at that moment and I told her you are tough and a "Hayes" and things will be ok. Since then I have talked with her husband Sammy and she is doing better. They were finally able to regulate everything and figure what pain meds will help her the most. I am rambling on because I am sitting in a motel room in Mt. Vernon, Illinois missing family and most of all my other half, Val. We haven't seen each other in a few days. We are meeting in Chicago for a Cubs' and Bears' game Love to all my family, Sue (Sue's friend), Val, Ed, and all my friends hope to see you soon.

Go Cubbies!!

Well, one down three to go! I am here in St.Louis with my better half and a friend for the Cubs vs. Cards game toinight and can hardly wait. We arrived about 9:15, checked in, and went to the bar just in time to see the Cubs beat the Cards. Even tho they won they had to provide a heart attack moment to the tune of loading bases in the bottom of the ninth but thank God to no avail. Can't they just come in the bottom of the ninth and win like everyone else does? The Cubs have a 1 1/2 lead with 15 games to play. Next week we're off to Chicago to see them play Pittsburgh. Go Cubs Go, Go Cubs Go, what do ya say Cubs are going to win today! Those of you that are Cubs fans sorry, the tune is in your head isn't it?

Big Brother 8

Finally, she is gone! She being Jen of course. I quit smoking and think it's a terrible addiction but I think I would have just about killed her if she would have done that to my cigs. Now that she's gone who can I hate now? Ok hate is a little strong how about Zach? He's flying so low he is going to crash. Time to say bubye, Zachman. I am so ready for a dry weekend. I have to mow before I have to bale hay. Later Gators

It's Been A While

For some reason I just can't get into blogging. I suppose I could let everyone know about Big Brother and Pirate Master, dirty bastards cancelled it. At least you can still catch the episodes on CBS.com. Well, received bad news on the home front today. My sister Sue had a catscan done today and they found a mass on one of her lungs. She is going to have a biopsy done next Wednesday. She can be tough when needed and now is the time for toughness. Now on a lighter note, we in the midwest are going to float away if it continues to rain. Up north it reminds me of the floods of '93. Yuckkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!! Well till next time, adios.
