A nice day, considering

I booked today off and got my physical. I'm completely healthy! Yeah!!!!
My blood work is alittle off from a prior virus(the flu)so the doctor is sending me to get more work done to eliminate all negative possiblities, but no worries. He said I have to get off my "duff" and exercise more, so I'm starting a daily walking regiment tomorrow and will continue until I get to the gym more often.
I watch what I eat and don't drink much so I was confident of the results. I'm alittle over 6 feet and weigh 220 pounds, but believe it or not I'm probably only 10 to 15 pounds over weight. I'm very broad, you know big shoulders, hips and legs, so I carry the weight well.

This fellow who overdosed, well there has been no announcement of any funeral. I'm thinking they may keep it private or they are doing an autopsy. He has been well known to the legal community for some time.

A quick story about this dude.
I've known his family for my whole life. There were 4 brothers and one was my age, named Alan. He was a real dog, always on the prowl with any woman he could talk to. One day he invites me over to watch the hockey game and to drink some beer. Naturally I go over. When I get there Alan is with his girlfriend and another girl. He was trying to set me up, but I had no interest in this girl at all. I knew her and explained why I wasn't interested.(I can't remember why now) Everything was fine and after the second period Alan drove them home, but before he left he told me to stay and finish watching the game. I did know the family.
Well about 10 minutes after he left, his brother Glenn walks downstairs and sees me alone watching the game. I told him what happen and he laughed and then watched the game with me. A short time later he asks if I've ever done coke and then pulls out a bag of the stuff. We're talking about a bag you put a sandwich in.
We did some coke for the next hour,
That was the first and last time I ever did cocaine. Believe it or not, I hated being stoned on coke for some reason I can't explain.
He obviously didn't stop there!

And on to the rest of my day.

After my appointment my wife and I went golfing, the first time for me this year. I golfed alright considering it was windy and my first time. At least I hit the ball straight.
We then went for lunch and had a greek pizza and pop.
I even had a afternoon nap.
A day off can sure re-charge the batteries,

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be lousy so we're going to go through some boxes in the basement. After 3 years the basement almost looks organized.
