Oh yeah!

My work week is over and I'm off for the next 10 days. Oh yeah!
We're not flying anywhere, but that's fine, just getting out of that daily grind is good enough for me.
On Sunday, the kid and I are heading up to my parents for around 2 days. My wife is pissed that she is not going, but she is working and I'm not changing the date arranged with my mother.
I told her that I've literally watched her and the kid go away without me at least half a dozen times and it does suck. When holidays don't coinincide, stuff like that happens. Besides we've already been to Jamaica together as a family this year and we have a week a Christmas together.
On Thursday I'm going to the Toronto Zoo with the kid and maybe my wife will go. I know she isn't fond of the zoo but it is our kid's pick.
A round or two of golf and a movie and there is my holidays.
That and some much needed catch up sleep and some mild exercise.

Come Autumn, I'm going to start working out again. With my quarterly safety bonus I'm going to buy a bench press and weights and then start some sort of aerobic exercise.
I need to be more solid, alittle lighter and I need more energy.
I used to work out like crazy about 5 years ago but got out of it for various reasons, none of which matter. Poor health doesn't always need reasons.

Ahhh..... 10 days off.....

Oh well!

Went to talk about changing vacations and received the big fat NO. They wouldn't even consider it and I'm not suprised, that's the way it's been there lately.
I guess I'll just spend the week hanging with my son.
First I think we'll visit my parents up north, maybe for 2 or 3 days. I phoned them this evening to wish them a happy 46th wedding aniversary and to confirm us going up there.

We went to office to make our will. Excuse my language, but how fucking depressing. It has to be done though, especially when children are involved.
It makes you think about your mortality, we're all going to end up in similar places.
I'm not afraid of dying, just afraid of a slow painful life that will suck!

Strawberry Festival

I live near the shore of Lake Ontario, east of Toronto.
Every year in my town they have this little strawberry festival right on the lakefront.
They serve shortcake, shakes, fruit drinks, coffee and of course, strawberries.
There is alittle stage where they have line tap dancing and belly dancing. They are mostly elderly women for the tap and they all are in pretty good shape. It goes to show what a lifetime of exercise willl do.
My new life motto, "keep on moving along."
The belly dancers are a different story. They can move, but are over weight! At least this year they weren't approaching 80 years old.
Seeing a 80 year old belly dance will certainly put you off your shortcake, but at least they are active.
Over all, a pretty decent 2 hours.
One more thing, I taught my son how to skip rocks.

I'm watching a documentary on women's bodybuilding right now on TLC. I thought men's body building was gross, but this is worse.
My problem with it is that it seems to take the feminitity out of the woman, which to me is the beauty of alot of women.

We had a driver quit last week and tomorrow I'm phoning my office to see if I can trade my July week off for this quitter. I hope I can, then we can be off as a family. I'm not counting on it though, my transportation company can make things difficult when they really shouldn't.
If not, I'm going to hang with my son and take a week in July starting in one week.
I could use the extra sleep anyways!
This is a short week in Canada because Friday is Canada Day, our aniversary, number 138. Yeah!!!

My weekend and thoughts!

Saturday at the ballgame was good, except the Jays lost. Every time I see the Jays play they seem to lose.
Only 6 showed up, including 2 of my bosses, so it was better, more wings later.
After we went to a bar on Front Street(the name escapes me) and had more beer and some wings, on the company account.
My wife picked me up at the train station at 11:15pm and we then had another drink. That was the drink I shouldn't have had. I was alittle hungover in the morning.
Father's Day was my son giving me a card and a hug and then taking off. That was fine, I ended up sleeping and lying on the couch watching sports.

My baseball ticket cost 47 dollars. I know I go on about the cost of tickets, but am I ever glad I didn't pay for that ticket, definitely not worth it.

My sports watching consisted off the US Open and Formula One racing. Both were complete duds, the racing more so.
6 cars in the race due to tire safety concerns. Formula One tickets cost 500 dollars, would I be pissed if I was there.
The guy from South Africa had a 3 shot lead to begin the day and ends up shooting a 81, choke job!

The things I want to watch in sports one day is a Nascar race and a PGA event. The Nascar race I have to travel 4 or 5 hours from here, as there is no races outside the States.

6 days until the company golf tournament. The weather for that day is supposed to be hot and humid. I know it could change but damn is that hot to golf in.

The good thing about computers

The beauty of computers is the instant information at your fingertips.
We went on-line to see how much anal lawn boy was selling his house. 265,000 dollars listed, which is way too high considering his neighbour on the other side is asking for 15,000 less for the same home.
I hope he gets it, my home is bigger and would be worth more.

I got a thank you letter for an emergency delivery I did to a shampoo company last evening. It's nice to be appreciated, but just show me the money. Actually they pay you and buy you dinner when doing "rush" deliveries.

My SIL's house was hit by lightning the other day. It freaked her out and she went to sleep at her mothers' with her kids. Hubby wasn't there, school field trip. We couldn't see the damage from the street, we'll check it out on the weekend.

A good day at work for me. A coffee break, a lunch, a 15 minute nap, sitting around the last hour and a half and only a few deliveries, all this for a full days pay.
And tomorrow is Friday!

Lawn fanatic moving

My anal next door neighbour has their home up for sale. He is a real big goof!
Example: We share a small driveway in a laneway in the back of our homes. When it snows you are supposed to shovel the snow to the open side about 8 to 10 feet away. It's no big deal, we don't really get alot of snow here in the Toronto area anyhow. What does this goofball do? He puts it on my side instead of where he should.
My wife thought I was paranoid until our son saw him doing it.
Another example: We tell him not to water to heavily, it gets us wet along with our furniture. We had a really heavy thunderstorm this evening and the goof still watered his grass.
He cuts our front and we don't want him to. He cuts it as short as a putting green. I don't like that, it should be an even 2 to 3 inches long. More environmentally friendly!
Good riddance!

Wicked thunderstorms coming through our area. Quite the light show! Cooler weather coming for the next few days which probably means no thunderstorms.

I scored a nice goal in hockey tonight, top hand corner from a wrist shot. It was most unlike me, but I was aiming for that corner. Fluke, yes but I'll take it!

Michael Jackson innocent? I don't know one way or another, but I know one thing, I wouldn't leave my 11 year old with him for 1 second.
I think his career in the USA is practically finished, but I think you will see him do over sea shows and stuff like that.
It's hard to believe he was the cute kid singing ABC and now he is a complete freak, all his own doing.

I like stories like this one. Tonight the Toronto Blue Jays are facing one of their old pitchers, Cris Carpenter. They did not renew his contract because he had a hurt arm and thought they could not afford to have a busted up pitcher sitting aound like that. A so called business decision!
Well he is mowing down the Jays this evening with 1 hit ball through 7 innings. Good for him, he seems like a good guy. Bad baseball decision!

Thunderstorms

With all this warm weather, comes thunderstorms.
We've had no power yesterday for a couple hours and some brown outs today.
The kid's soccer was postponed. I mean I didn't take him, no way with lightning.
Alot of rain in a short period, but my crazy grass neighbour will probably still water the lawn.
I don't have anything else to say, I'm having trouble typing because I'm tired, so I'm going to bed.

Two in one day!

My son and I just came back from Kicking and Screaming, starring Will Ferrell. It's pretty good, not as good as Elf, but still good. I would say you should wait a few months until it is on dvd and watch it then.
We were going to see Star Wars, but the kid saw it last week at a birthday party and wants to see it alittle later. Fine by me!
Last evening my wife and I saw In Good Company, with Dennis Quaid and the guy from the 70s show, Topher Grace. Good movie, rent it!

A few post back I was telling about the guy who overdosed on cocaine. It got me thinking about this situation I was in with this guy.
About 20 years ago I used to be into heavy duty partying. Lot's of dope smoking, too much drinking, chemical use and not enough women.
A bunch of us were at this party then. This coke fellow was there and we were partying together. I left my drink to go bathroom and came back a few minutes later. Everyone was snickering and I kind of wondered what was up. I finished my drink and went to get another and this fellow followed me. He then told me he spiked my drink with speed.
I thought he was kidding, he wasn't!
I apparently took quite abit. I was up all night completely stoned out of my mind.
I actually enjoyed it and that scared me.
Never took it or chemicals ever again.
Sidebar to the speed story. After sunrise I went home, by walking. I was staggering when I hit a crack in the sidewalk. I went flying into a bush and all I could think of was "I wish I was home."
A few minutes of me lying there went by when I pulled myself up and lo and behold, a police cruiser is right there.
I walked over and asked the cop to give me a ride home. I got in the car and he asked me where I had been and if I had a car. I told him kind of where( I didn't exactly remember) and my car was parked.
He went looking for my car, found it and then drove me home. 3 houses from mine he let me out and I walked the rest.(mothers don't like it when their sons get out of police cruisers in front of their houses)
I woke up about 10 hours later feeling the worse I think I ever had.
Ahhhh, good times!

Escaping

This evening my sister in law is having an engagement party for her friend. Up to 60 people are attending in a 2000 foot house with no air conditioning. Oh yea, kids are included as well.
She wants her sister(my wife) to help and she is. My son and I were kind of informally invited, but I'm passing. The kid and I are going to hang tonight, maybe see Star Wars.
My excuse, too hot, don't know hardly anyone and not really invited. Nice escape eh?
We lent them our outside chairs, so it was an excuse to scrub everything clean and not put it off. The furniture looked alot nicer when washed, so I was happy.
This afternoon I did some gardening for an hour. It was so humid that the inside of my sunglasses were steaming up. That's why I'm in here blogging, to escape the heat and cool down abit.

Dinner is early due to that party. I've been marinating some sirloins for about 24 hours and the bbq is going on in a few minutes. Baked potatoes and carrots, fried onions, mushrooms and cold beer are going with it. I'm getting hungry just typing.

My vacation is coming up soon. My wife has been looking at Ontario resorts, tons of them actually.
The problem with Ontario resorts is that they are bloody expensive. Your looking at a minimum of 1500 dollars fo 5 days for the three of us. It's actually cheaper to go to a Island down south for a week and booze is included. Though we have little money now, there is a slight chance it may happen. we'll see!

Part Three

Another hot one, only 32 degrees today! The beer I'm having right now tastes real good. Sleeman Original Draught!

I'm home at a real good time today, before 5:30pm, which is great for a Friday. The problem right now is the house is empty and there is nothing to eat. I'm hungry for dinner now and the spouse only worked half a day. Where is dinner?
If the roles were reversed, there would be some sort of dinner on the table. I won't say anything to her, just let the guilt get to her.(lol)

Last evening on this show "baby hit me one more time," (or something like that) where the has beens of the music world get up and sing their hit and then a recent cover tune.
Vanilla Ice won and he couldn't even sing his own song well.(an oxymoron if I ever heard one) He was horrible!
The best in my opinion was Adam Ant who sang his song well and his cover pretty well.(a song by Blink 182) He also didn't try to look younger which is the way to go. Trying to look like something your not makes you look like a fool.
The Knack was alright with My Sharona, but their cover suck badly.
The Motels were just the lead singer and she was passable.
The others I don't remember.

This celebrity dance competition on Wednesday night was also a joke.
The one who should of been eliminated was from General Hospital. I don't know her name, but she had barely anything on and has a killer body. I thought it was mostly women voting so I thought she was out, but Trista was voted out. I guess she is annoying to both sexes.

I'm not into reality shows, but I love to watch the musical train wrecks on "Baby hit me one more time."
I put the dance one for my wife and I watched it with her. As soon as the hot chick is gone, I'm not watching anymore.

Part 3 means the third blog in a row about the weather. There will be more I'm sure as the forecast is hot for the next 5 days.
Think winter and appreciate the warmth.

Hot!

We had our third day in a row where the temparture hit 30 degrees(over 85 for you Americans) with no cool days in the forecast for the next 6 days.
We've already had more heat alert days than last year.
2 years ago we purchased a central air conditioner for quite abit of money. We have had it on for maybe a total of 10 days during that time. We put it on today and it's not going off for a while.

Funny how we as Canadians bitch all the time about our winters and then we complain about the heat when summer hasn't even started.
I find it too humid and the black flies are bad in the country.

Enough complaining, I played hockey this evening in his weather. I drank about 14 cups of water all day including hockey, so I feel hydrated.
Yes, I play hockey all year long and most rinks are running for 12 months.
The few that have no ice are open for lacrosse, which I like but wouldn't play, too violent for this old guy.

The last couple blogs I commented on beer and alcohol. I find in this weather I don't drink as much, it doesn't quench my thirst.
I drink alot of water all the time but this time of year I drink gallons of the stuff.
I don't drink juice and not much milk, so it leaves water.

My work offered tickets for the truck drivers to a Blue Jay game and I'm the only one who accepted. I think my boss was alittle pissed that I'm only going, he wanted the jokers to go as well.
This guy doesn't know what to think of me and now he's going to a baseball game with me.
I rather have him not knowing what to think of me, just that I do my job well.(which I do)
The guys he wants are the ones he golfs with and I would rather golf in the middle of the winter than with his buddies. They give me a headache after about 1 hour!
Still it should be interesting to drink beer on his tab. I'll probably suprise him with the amount of beer I can drink. At work I'm quiet and reserved and not many know of my personal life.
One thing that I can do and I'm not proud(nor ashamed)is I can drink vast amounts of beer. My hangovers are worse than in early years, but if I eat and occasionally have water during a night of beer drinking, I can put back about 20 or so.(I don't do this on any sort of regular basis, the last time when I turned 40)
I won't put back anywhere near 20 at this game, but enough to take the train home.

A perfect weather day

I came inside to make dinner, but it was hard to. It is sunny, a few clouds, a slight breeze and about 27 degrees.(80ish for you Americans)
I bought a manual push mower as my yard is small and I thought the wife and kid could do it as well. Today I had to cut it as it was too hard too push. Yeah! Another chore.
My wife went to buy plants for the front garden. She tried to drag me along, but I wouldn't have any part of that. She would have asked my opinion and then ignored it, even though I know more about gardening than her. I said "just buy what you want."
It's that control thing popping up again.
Same thing with the snooping!

We went golfing yesterday and I had a decent game. I only blew up on one hole and birdied the last one. First birdie in a long time. My wife had a lousy game, my guess is she was tired and wasn't concentrating.

We went out for dinner and then to my in laws for drinks and dessert as some out of towners were still lingering from Friday evening.
At 10pm we went home as I was exhausted. My wife says lets go out and do something. I said I'm going to bed, I haven't really stopped since work on Friday. She thought I just wanted sex but I was really tired.(I wouldn't of said no) I did get a good nights sleep.

I was watching the French Open on Saturday morning while eating breakfast. The Belgian lady totally killed the French lady. I always wonder at that level what makes someone chokes and will it affect them in the future?
Ladies tennis is much better to watch according to all the guys I work with. Wonder why they think like that?

I'm off to finish dinner and then fold laundry. A man's work is never done.

More rum and coke!

Not to get anyone's attention, but.....
When I was in Jamaica in March, I must have had 20 or so different types of rum drinks. But you know what, I always came back to rum and coke, it seems to always win out.
I'm a beer drinker by nature. I don't drink alot, mostly for the weight thing, but also I think it is better that my son doesn't see it on a daily basis. That role model business poking its head in my life again.
After hockey I have been having one draft beer, so I can try something different that I can't try at home.
For a long time I was having a pint of Carlsberg Red and now it's a beer called Steawhistle draft. I think it's Canadian, which is usually superior anyways.
Tonight I had a pint of Ricker's Red, which was very good.
All three of these I would recommend.
Here in Canada, we think our beer is better than the American brands. Well it is! We take our beer seriously here and I would say if anyone is in Canada, they should try the beer. My favourite take home beer lately is any brand from a brewer called Sleemans.
The way I'm talking you would think that I'm a fat alcoholic. Well I'm not either, I just enjoy a refreshment at the right times.
Tomorrow after golf with my wife I will have a Mexican beer. Just one and then I drive home.

This evening it was my MIL's 65th birthday. The in-laws were in good moods so everyone had a good time. It was actually nice to see some of the in-law friends, it's been a while.
I gave the digital camera to my 11 year old and told him to take pictures, it was his responsibility. I don't even know anything about that camera because from day one I've let him do everything. That has to change!
Anyways we'll download the pictures tomorrow and e-mail them to family and friends.

Since my wife is snooping again, I have a question for her. When you snoop around, what exactly do you think you will find? When you read this, and you will eventually, please tell me! Remember, we've been together for almost two decades and I've never given you a reason to not trust me, not once, ever.

Enough of that crap!

I watched this show on Thursday evening called "Baby, hit me one more time."(something like that)
It was about groups or singers who were once big and now they are not, can they be big again.
They sang one of their hits and then a cover of a newer popular tune.
3 of them were Loverboy, A Flock Of Seagulls and Tiffany. The other 2 I don't know who they were so I can't comment on them.
Loverboy are old and fat. Really! I think the singer ate the old singer and the guitarist socializes with my parents.
They can still sing their own stuff and the cover wasn't bad.
AFOS were old, bald and fat. They couldn't sing their old hits and the cover suck. They should be embarrassed!
Tiffany looked pregnant! Apparently she is not! Not to sound graphic or sexist, her boobs were huge, like a pregnant woman boobs. My wife thought the same way as well, so it was just not me. Jees, I hope she is pregnant, or she should be embarrassed as well.
Her hit was originally a cover anyways. "I think we're alone now" was the hit. Her cover was sung well, a song by Kelly Clarkson which was a cover by her.
The two who I don't remember or know were the best!
I don't know about you, but if I had millions, along with alot of spare time, I wouldn't be fat. I would hire a personal trainer and a chef and and would work my ass off a couple hours a day. At the least I would have plastic surgery.
These people have egos, it's like they don't care now though.
Next week The Knack and Wang Chung are on among others. Let's see how far they have let themselves go....

Rum and coke

I thought the title would get your attention.
It tastes damn good right now!
Tonight we watched Dumb and Dumber. What a stupid movie, but we all enjoyed it anyways.
After the family went to bed, I watched Blade. Vampire movie, which I enjoy and was pretty good.
A few weeks ago I commented on concert prices. Well today I heard the Whitesnake is coming to town. 48 friggen dollars!!!!! Who do these over the hill, balding geezers think they are? Excuse me, but if they were todays news I would understand, but these dudes haven't had a hit in over 20 years. I hope that they don't sell out! Humble pie time, maybe?
Every year I have to deal with this fellow at work and his golf habit. He goes golfing and I work 15 hours. Not fair and I make sure the bosses know. If all the drivers can get off early for, let's say medical or dentist appointments then I wouldn't say anything.
I guess my complaining worked!
This butt kisser was golfing and I was home at a reasonable hour, the way it should be.
I think this weekend I'm going to make a couple blogs, I've been busy and neglectful lately.

Long weekend

Here in Canada we have a annual holiday the third weekend in May, called Victoria Day.
Yes it is after Queen Victoria and yes hardly anyone knows anything about her.
That's alright, we'll take the long weekend anyway.
Victoria Day is sometimes nicknamed 2/4 weekend, after the size of a case of beer and the approximate date in May.
It is the unofficial start to the cottage season or early summer. It is definitely the start of gardening season, judging the parking lots of the nurseries. I will avoid them this weekend if I can.
I used to camping in my younger years and would party too much and freeze my butt off. I won't do that anymore, I can wait later in the summer.
I also don't need an excuse to drink anymore, though I rarely do anyhow.
The weather here is beautiful this morning and is suppose to hold up all weekend, so here's to a great weekend!

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.

Bad news

Just got a phone call from a friend and he tells me that this fellow Glenn died of an drug overdose. He was my Dad's longtime business partners youngest son. He was around 38 years old.
I remember him being into cocaine around 20 years ago and hearing that he was into other drugs over the years.
The sad part for me is that my Dad's business partner now has lost 2 sons. The eldest died in a armed robbery incident where he was an armed guard who was shot in the back of the head. Two sons to bury is too much to live with.

Another guy in town who I kind of knew died of a brain aneurism on the weekend, he was 48.

One more fellow that was in my grade 7 and 8 class has colon cancer. I don't know of his condition but believe it or not, I'll find out if I make it to this funeral,(of the guy who died of the drug overdose) he is good friends with this family.

Tomorrow my Father gets a angiogram to see what's wrong and to see what they can do to fix things about this irregular heartbeat.

Friday I go to the doctors and find out the results of my blood test. Stuff like cholestrol, diabetes, protstrate. With all the news I've had this week, I don't feel optimistic.

Well at least my son gave me some good news, he just kissed me and told me he love me before going off to bed. There are good things around, you either be patient or have to search for them.

Observations

Wednesday evening and nothing really to say, but I'll try and write something.

Last night I played hockey and scored a really nice goal, it even brought on the catcalls from my buddies. That is two weeks in a row I've scored a nice goal, so does that mean maybe I'm getting better? Nah, just a fluke, but I'll enjoy it anyways!

Yesterday also was the 19th aniversary that my wife and I went on our first date. First, I remembered and does that make me less of a man. Everywhere I read says that men don't remember important dates, yet I do. Second I bought her some flowers and then she was nice to me. If I brought her flowers all the time, would she be nice to me all the time? I think not, but I'll try and bring her flowers alittle more often.

Tomorrow, my wife goes to a convention downtown. She stays in a hotel with her friend, that I can't stand. We live a 40 minute drive from there, yet she uses the rush hour traffic excuse. She used to do "no good" at these things all the time. I think she shouldn't stay there but she does against my wishes. So instead of saying something this year(which she ignores) I think in the summer I'm going to the area where I drive my truck. I'm going to golf and see a band and stay overnight without her. I wonder how she'll like that? Maybe then she will see my point!
All this and I still think if I'm over reacting.

Weather here has been really strange. Days where sun, rain, hail and snow are common place. Global warming maybe? I wish it would get warm for a while.

My alone time

With my wife shopping and the kid playing gamecube in another room, I'm alone with some time on my hands. I'm actually going to try and write this blog in one sitting, so here goes.

My friend and I were discussing the merits of a psa test and a digital exam.(this is for prostrates) This friend said a psa test was enough for detection and I say both are required. Truth be known he is shying away from having some doctor's finger stuck up his rear. This is not a comfortable situation for most men.
My argument was for 100% surety, both are required and besides he has 3 kids under the age of 11 and I think this is for more than ourselves at that point.
We agreed to disagree and he would get only a psa test as prostate problems don't run in his family.
Until this week!
His father was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate and he had surgery yesterday. I haven't talked to my buddy yet but I will soon. I hope he gets both test now!

I had to go and get my blood work done this morning. This was for everything, not just a psa test. I go to my doctors in 2 weeks for the results and a full physical. I am so much looking forward to that, but it's a day off work anyhow.

My parents are here visiting for the weekend, I mean visiting everyone. They lived in this area for their whole marriage(46 years) until last autumn, so they left a whole lifetime here as well.
As far a health goes, my father's torn achilles is healed and he has to go for a angiogram next month for a irregular heartbeat. He says he's had it for years, so it's little concern for him. All the medicine he is on for this heart thing is making him tired, which pisses him off, but he says he sleeps like a baby now every night. My mom is fine, which is really good to me.

Tomorrow is the 19th aniversary of the day I met my wife. Wow, I feel old! The only reason I remember that is because it the first of the month.
May had always been kind of weird for me. I have only been arrested once, in the month of May.(no conviction, thrown out) I've hurt myself badly at work twice in the month of May.(2 years apart) I met my wife and started dating her in May. I won a lawsuit in May and the list goes on.

Wow, I'm done this blog in one sitting.

Have a great weekend!

Too Long!

That last blog took me over a week to write. Interuptions and forgetfullness was the reason.
I forgot that I saved it as a draft, I thought I published it!
Sorry!

It's been one of those weeks, with work always taking up my time and my son's 11th birthday on Wednesday.
He had his cousins over then for dinner and today his buddies come over at 130.

Again, this took forever to write, as it is now Tuesday.

Well, I caught some sort of bug and now I'm working through it. I feel like crap! I didn't even go to hockey this evening, so according to my wife I must be sick.

Yesterday at work was my day from hell that I haven't had in a while and we also found out that we owe a whole bunch for income tax.(we can add that on to the list of excuses) That probably means that we won't go to far for a summer vacation, again adding to the list of excuses.

My son's birthday party went well and he was pleased. They went to a movie and I think that will be the last time he does that for his birthday. I was talking to a colleague at work and he took his kid to paint ball. I think we will go back to lazer wars or something like that, 11 year olds need some physical action.

Well I off to the couch for some R and R.
