I used to have a blog once…
I am the first person to admit that I don’t blog as much as I used to. Hey, if it were up to me I’d blog each and every day. Trouble is, my schedule.
I arrive home every night during the week between 7/730. Then it’s time to walk the dog, feed myself, feed the dog, shower and finally, when I actually sit down, it’s usually 9 and the last thing I feel like doing is blogging. Yes, I would like some cheese with this wine, please. Gouda, natch.
So, lets take a moment and play catchup.
- Keely had her third son. A boy named Oliver. He’s cute and really small. When I went to visit him, soon to be 3-year-old Grayson met me at the front door and asked, “Uncle Walt, are you here to play with me or the baby?” …..”What baby,” i replied before we busted into a “Yes Game or a No Game”.
- Jamie and Jay returned to the land of parties with a groovy Memorial Day weekend picnic. A great return to form: Beerpong, whiffle, great food and tons of beer n booze.
- The Summer Movie Season has been underwhelming. A month into the season there have been no blockbusters (like last years transformers) or surprise hits (like last years the hangover). I actually read in the paper today that less people are going to the movies this summer than the last two years. Could 80s nostalgia revive a slow box office? Yep, A-Team movie and Karate Kid remake both open this weekend.
- I’m entering the third week of the murder trial I’m covering at work and still no verdict. The jury has been deliberating since Thursday. Now it’s just annoying.
- A man came to my house last week to buy my broken washer. He said he could fix-it up. As he was leaving, after paying me, he (seeing my yankees hat) asked me if I knew why Mariano Rivera is the best closer of all time. I said, “Because of his nasty cutter.”…..”That’s part of it,” the man said. “But the real reason he’s so good is because he put his career in the hand of Jesus Christ.”……My God, thanks to Craigslist there was now a Jesus Freak in my kitchen.
So that’ about it. Not much, I know.
Road Race weekend is upon us soon. I can’t imagine for one second it will be as crazy as last year. Celebrating Phil’s 30th on Saturday night followed by Brian and Mere’s annual rager Sunday left me hung over for three days.
No one that I know of is turning 30 this Saturday and Bub and Mere have decided to take a year off from the party hosting duties, so I anticipate this year will be a bit mellow-er.
Who knows. Maybe I’ll skip the weekend festivities and see an A-team/Karate Kid 80s double feature.
Must Remain Focus….You Fool!!!
