Just Because....

Well, because Val spent all day cleaning the cars, we had tornado watches and warnings from about 5:00 till about right now. Thanks Val

Big Brother 10

Which one will it be? Personally, get rid of "muscle man", he's just a little bit arragant. Better yet, change the rules and if the HOH get's POV she can eliminate both. What a novel idea. Oh yeah, Renny, hello?

As The Storm Moves On

This is a photo I took after a line of storms went through during the season of the floods. I took this with my cell after work while entering the Interstate. Had Val been with me it would have never been taken because she would have freaked about be watching the road, blah blah blah. I am always asking her "where is your sense of adventure"? If nothing else during the floods, mother nature showed everyone what an artist she is.

Go Cubs Go...Go Cubs Go...Hey Chicago what d'ya say,Cubs are gonna win today! What a great game!! 9-6 over the Marlins and even the series 2-2. It was good to see the offense participate in the fun. What a great "team" win. Now let's take care of the Brewers.

It's True, I am just plain lazy.......

Yep, it's been a while since I have done this blog thing and the only reason is because I am just lazy. So, hello to all and hope everything is okay. I will certainly try to do better in blogging on a regular basic.

Sister Sue is holding her own, matter of fact had a three-way conversation with with her and my brother Mark. We were on the phone quite a while and I am glad we had the conversation about Thanksgiving because come to find out I asked for the wrong day off. For some reason I thought Turkey Day was the 3rd Thursday of the month. No wonder no one had asked for it off. Duhhhhhhhhh on my part. Anyway getting back to Sue, she sounded great and said she felt pretty good except for her hip bothering her (she had to return to the hospital because she was on a downhill ride of the rollercoaster and fell on her hip). All for now, later.....

Take Me Out To The Ballgame......

Well, it's opening day and the Nats and the Braves will start us off. My brother Mark, his other half Ed and my nephew will be there (I am so jealous). The Nats have a new ballpark and I can't wait to see it. Val and I are going out to see my brother, Ed and Josh at the end of next month. We have tickets for the series with the Cubs. I do so hope this is the Cubs' year. If not, you know the ol' cliche, "maybe next year".

Spring Has Finally Sprung.....

Well, Spring is finally here. The Robins are a plenty and the temperatres are finally rising. Although I wouldn't put it past Mother Nature to spring another snowstorm on us. I also knew it was spring due to the fact I had to do my yearly spring poop detail. I must admit it's my own fault that I had 4 bags of sh--. That's what I get for not taking care of it periodically through out the winter months. All I can say is I for one was ready for winter to be done.

Even The Snowmen Have Had It.....

Survuvor- Macronesia

Yahoooooo-I am SO glad this lug is gone! Joel what a jerk you are and you deserve to be gone. I know Chet isn't liked by many but I couldn't believe how he was dragging Chet around during the awards challenge. Tracy kudos to you, knowing you were on Mary, Mikey B, and Joel's long term plans to get rid of you managed to get all three voted off. Now that they have divided up into new teams it should be interesting.

Disgruntled

Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.

Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their A_ _, doing drugs, while I work. . .
Can you imagine how much money this country would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check ?

I received this in an email and I don't have an opinion on this either way. It's just one of those things that makes you go hmmmmmmm.

The History Of S.H.I.T

This one of my favorite words to say when something goes array or maybe because it can be said in so many ways. Therefore, I give you the history of S.H.I.T. and how it got it's name.

American Idol

In the past I haven't paid to much attention to American Idol but this year, in my opinion, Carly Smithson and David Archaleta are the ones to beat. You two rock!!

Survivor Macronesia

Mr. Mike you ran your mouth just enough to get Chet, Kathleen , and Tracey to but a bug in Joel's ear to get you out . Actually I thought it was a good move. Eventually the tribes may merge and if you can be around when that happens your chances improve being the weaker link and flying under the radar. Another thing to watch for is the dissension that is arising on the Favs side. Jonathon I fear is moving closer to ending up where he did before, GONE.

Future Millionaire or Scammer?

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer 'This is the dumbest kid in town.... watch while I prove it to you.'The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks 'Which do you want, son?'The boy takes the quarters and leaves.'What did I tell you?' said the barber. 'That kid never learns!'Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. 'Hey, son! May I ask you a question... why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?'The boy licked his cone and replied 'Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!'

Let t Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Well, we got another 6 inches last night and this morning on top of rain then ice, which caused us to lose power(only about an hour). Then about 2 in the afternoon the dang sun came out, go figure. The old saying around here is "blink your eyes and the weather will change". I must admit it sure was pretty.......

Back On Track

The Drake Bulldogs were picked to finish 9th in pre-season. Little did anyone know they would put up a 23-2 overall and 14-1 league mark. After losing to Southern Illinois and halting their winning streak the "Dogs" bounced back and beat Northern Iowa. That win enabled them to capture the title of MVC League Champion, something that hasn't been done since 1971.
