Favorite Day

It's Thursday - our favorite day.
~
Why?... Because Thursday is the day that we choose the Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week. I'm open to your comments for nominations up to 7:00PM EST when the life changing selections are made. Make sure that you observe the rules in your recommendations. (Annoying, Stupid, or Inspiring - not an Animal - not Dead - or automaticially in because of the gift of Lagavulin to me.)
~
Good luck to all of the aspiring Peeps. And remember... most of you will still be losers after 7:00PM tonight.

James Taylor Gets it Right

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There aint nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill
But since were on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride
~
The secret of love is in opening up your heart
Its okay to feel afraid
But dont let that stand in your way
cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since were only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile
~
Isnt it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride

~
Now the thing about time is that time isn't really real
Its just your point of view
How does it feel for you
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race
Some kind of lovely ride
~
Ill be sliding down
Ill be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride
~
Isnt it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Marblehead Stripers


When this video was uploaded to YouTube.com, it immediately got a lot of hits, which I couldn't understand at first.
~
Then it became obvious..... We are not talking Marblehead Strip Teasers, we are talking Marblehead Striped Bass.
~
Perverts!!




As much as I am looking forward to winter, snow and embarassing myself on New Hampshire slopes, it was a fun summer fishing.

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.
