Full Swing

Looks like Operation Moonshadow swingss into full gear on Dec.13. Once we close, we'll have to implement full court press, Mike Rockett style, kick ass construction of the conversion to a first class pre-school facility.

Fat Attack

Feeling fat. Really Fat. I mean PHAT!
~
I've got to find a way to get on the Cybex everday. Morning is probably the best option. By the time I get home from work, I'm usually pretty bushed and Joanne cooks too good to push it off and exercise beforehand.
~
In the meantime, I feel tight pants, lard ass, big gut, FAT!!!

Flu Shot

Got innoculated today. Darwin gave us free shots. A nice gesture.

Hollywood

I've just figured out how to incorporate videos onto the blog.

Hollywood here we Come!

Bank of America

So I deposit the money for Operation Moonshadow in Bank of America on 11/17 and they hold it until 11/30, "because of the size of the check". What a scam!
~
IT"S MY MONEY.... NOT THEIRS!!!!.
~
I'll be pulling all of it out and finding a new bank as soon as this transaction is complete.

Pope's Trip

The Pope is visiting Turkey under great duress, to show respect for Islam. The Western-Communist confrontation has been replaced by Christianity v Islam. Just when you thought that the world could be a safe place, this ages old dysfunction surfaces.
~
I had hoped that the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the initial Gulf War had signaled an age when that world could be policed without huge threats and insecurities. Now, it is not major superpowers that threaten, it is small dissident have-not groups.
~
In retrospect, mankind has never had total security. There was always the chance that your village could be raided and pillaged by marauding outside forces. It is pretty much the same deal today on a global scale.

That's Lucky

Clear the Decks

Passed up the trip to Seattle to concentrate on pricing in the office. It's time to revisit the classics and get grandular on the details. Have to point the Darwinians to the Promised Land.

Days Off

The problem with days off is that you get so slammed when you go back to work. It scares me how much I disassociate myself from my job when I have a vacation or a couple of days off like this Thanksgiving break. The returning workload then seems overwhelming. For this reason, I rarely take a vacation. The pain of returning is not worth it. Even simple tasks that I normally would glide over seem like a challenge when returning from a work hiatus.
~
Screw it. Bring It ON.

Pats - Bears

Pats showed their worthyness yesterday as they beat the Chicago Bears 17-14. Brady's record is now 76-24 as a Patriot quarterback. Phenomonal.
~
Mike and Ryan seemed to have a good time in the Darwin box. No incidences.

Weekend Wrap Up

The Johnson Party was a blast. Saw Amanda and Jeremy, Ryan's Crew. I hate to name names because then anyone that I left out will send me hate email - always a downer. But there were a lot of my favorite people there.
~
This morning, I got up and took the clamps off of the floor boards on the Tender. I don't like the fit and will have to plane down one of the floor stakes.
~
Leftover Macaroni and Cheese for breakfast. I'm an idiot!
~
at 11:00AM, I will get on the Cybex for 1/2 hour then get ready to go to Gillette for the Pats-Bears game.
~
Ryan and Mike were offered the Darwin Box tickets by Frank Robinson in a transaction that I had nothing to do with. Nonetheless, Katelyn charged favoritism. Just accuse me of anything - I'll admit it and take the blame.... It's freaking easier. The game will be good though - even without Katelyn.

A Special Peep

I'm pretty sure that I have a few Brigit Pictures, but this is the only one I could muster for this emergency blog post. Shauer is a lucky bastard.
