I wish I was a real rich guy that lived closer to one, because I’d go to a farmers market every weekend for their fancy, fresh foods. Yesterday, Bethie was going on about how she wanted to have a dinner with no meat in it. So we compromised and planned a dinner with very little [...]

Friday, I went to the ol’ Cubs game with Zach. We had plenty beers. I went to a party at the neighbors house for just a second. Bethie suggested I sleep on the couch.
Saturday Bethie and I went to the ol’ waterpark out there by the state line. She was still mad at me because [...]

You know what I did this weekend? Nothin’.
Nothin’ and it was grand.
Let me elaborate on all the things I did that added up to nothin’.
Friday night, I was real antsy to put in an offer on this house Bethie and I want to buy, so we met with our realtor to go over the contract. [...]

I got back from Kansas yesterday, where I had been involved in a large canoe-tripping expedition down a river. It’s back to being an annual thing now thanks to everyone’s concerted efforts. I’d like to hand out some awards, now, if I may, to everyone involved.

So on Friday, we went out to lunch and there was people everywhere making this movie Transformations 3. When you see that movie come out, there should be a blue convertible Corvette in it, and when you see that car, you can think… “I know a guy who walked by that car once.”

Technological issues had kept me off the ol’ internet for a spell, but now we got those issues all sorted out and we’re back in business. It seems my Web Hosting Reseller, Matt Cassity, needed to do some negotiating with his Authorized Hosting Provider and get their webserving systems sync’d up on the backend.
In the [...]

Highlights of this weekend included buying some new shirts and taking in the Cubs game. That was pretty much all of the highlights of this weekend.

Memorial Day is a holiday that sneaks up on you and catches you completely unprepared. You forget to plan to go anywhere, because you forget that you have a three-day weekend.
So Bethie and I stayed local.
On Saturday, her little brother came by and accompanied us on a grocery shop, then we drank sangria and played [...]

Last night I went out for Rich’s final going-away party at Goodwin’s house, then at Danny’s. Real good vibe. We all sampled the Malort.
I left to go home, and wound up walking instead of dealing with all that hassle of paying a cab driver. (I should have just paid a cab driver.) In my wanderings [...]
