Im still at the fundraiser/dinner. I am exhastificated. O stayed up past 12:30 last night and got up at 4:30 this morning.
Flew to Miami and got hasseled by customs or TSA ( inhindsight, I don’t know which agency my tormentors were from) when I arrived.They x-rayed my bags and wanted to know how much money I brought with me. Then I they turned me loose in these weird narrow hallways where I’d never been before. Plus it was an hour after we landed that the bags starrted coming out at baggage claim.
So I’m tired.. Vewwy vewwy tired.

Wet Wednesday

It’s Wednesday morning. I’m sitting out on the back porch and it’s raining trying to stay dry.

I did an image search for wet Wednesday, it must be a big day for all the strip clubs, because I got tons of sexy pictures on google images. For example:

It was raining yesterday when I went to work, but then it got sunny and I went to the beach for lunch, that was nice. Hopefully it will do the same thing today.

Yesterday I went to grocery shopping and today I have to start cleaning the house for the cat / dog sitter.

I guess that’ll do’er for today.
Havva goodun.

Tuesday ramblings

Posted on by

It is a lugubrious Tuesday morning. Thunder and lightning and rain and dark.

Yesterday my wife went to Florida for the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. I have the whole house to myself and it bites.

Saturday I go to Florida and my wife and I are going on a cruise. I think I’ve mentioned this before. I am ready to go now. What’s the point in hanging around?

I made an audio clip for this post but I cannot upload it for some reason. I think because of its format. I’ll have to figure it out for future awareness

I guess that’s all for today. Have a wonderful day!

Finally Friday

A horrible photo of me, great photo of Ashy.

Glad it’s Friday. Long week. Weather has been nice. I rode the scooter since Tuesday, first time since the 7th.

No plans for the weekend. Halloween tomorrow. I’m gonna be a Star Trek dude. My costume is a Star Trek T-shirt. The wife and all our friends have very elaborate costumes they’ve been working on for months. Not looking forward to spending the evening with a bunch of people who are drinking and drunk.

Hope I get to the beach this weekend and I’d love to go diving.

Started this post feeling OK, now I’m not so sure…

Have a good weekend!

Friday Finally

Posted on by

The week went by fast. Good thing.

We bought a new TV from our friends who left the island, but there was no power cord. So now I’ll be looking for a very specific power cord.

Still not back in my office at work, was supposed to be back in last Monday, now the repair team is saying this coming Monday…

No news is good news I guess, nothing to post about can be construed as a good thing. On the other hand, this has never been a “whine & complain” blog (I hope).

Have a good weekend!

Another Monday non post

Posted on by

Another brain damaged, under-coffeed, no-topic Monday.
I shan’t bore you trying to make nothingness more interesting, I barely left the house all weekend. Wife went out with girlfriends Friday, I stayed home. Saturday I mowed the yard. I did go to the grocery store also Saturday

Sunday I lazed around while the wife crocheted.

And that’s it. I just want more coffee. And to stay home from work.

I Now Believe Global Warming Is Real

When we were at (and on) the Athabasca Glacier, there were photos that showed the glacier receding over the years. My brother in law in Drake Bay, Costa Rica, last night was telling my wife about his colleague/associate/acquaintance has been measuring the decline in the numbers of frogs and snakes in the rainforests. When I got certified to scuba dive in 1981, we’d see sharks on practically every other dive, often groups of sharks. Now, seeing a shark is rare, one in ten or more dives.

Glacial decline has been measured since the 1850’s, (according to an article on Wikipedia), so I’m not sure it’s all humans fault, but I think humans main power is destructive and we need to change. I remember a book I read years ago, “Mutant Message Down Under”, and ask, Which society is more advanced? One that lives in a place 10,000 years, and you can’t even tell they were ever there? Or a society that practically destroys it’s environment with pollution and war in 250 years?

I think the answer is obvious.

Today is my first day back at work since my vacation. blah. Why do I have to go work to get money to buy a fish for dinner when I could just go out and get the fish myself. Because I also have to pay for my house and the bills. The whole system of money has something inherently wrong with it.

My BDay Gift To Myself

Posted on by

For my birthday last week, I bought myself a fountain pen. I think they’re cool and increasingly uncommon.

It sucks, my writing looks terrible using this pen.

I think I’ll give it to my wife….

I wasn’t ready for this week, after my vacation weekend. Yesterday was tough, today I don’t wanna go to work. Waaa Waaaa.

Training At Work

Posted on by

This week, I am in training for work, all week. Yesterday, day #1,  was interesting.

Ditto seems much better today. He came begging fora treat when I was taking my blood pressure medicine/vitamins this morning. I gave him a cod liver oil pill.

It rained this morning for about 5 minutes, but now it seems clear. I’d rather go to the beach today than work. This is a perfect Caribbean morning.

I feel kind of scatterbrained this morning. I find it interesting how I feel different day to day. I had a dream last night that my boss and I were wrapping teacups in paper.

That’s all for today, take care!

Thankful Thursday

I went to the beach at lunchtime yesterday, but the water was kinda  rough, and I didn’t go snorkeling. Today would be a good day for some underwater pictures, but I don’t have any new ones. I don’t have anything to post about, either.

9 people killed in a church in Charleston.
60 million immigrants worldwide right now, people who have fled their homes and countries because of wars and conflicts.

I’m lucky and glad I live where I do. All my problems pale in comparison to what many have to deal with.

My lawnmower is broken.
Dog pooped on the porch.
Waves too big to get photos at my beach lunch.

I’ve got a full set of problems right now. Six months ago I had a full set of problems. Six months from now I’ll still probably have a full set of problems. On a good day, maybe I get rid of five old problems and only get three new ones, on a bad day, maybe I get five new and only get rid of three. But right now, I can’t remember what my full set of problems were six months ago, and six months from now, I probably won’t remember what my full set of problems is today.
The secret of life is not to wait til I get rid  of all my problems and finally have a perfect life, the secret of life is to be happy, even with my unresolved problems, because my “in box” will  never be empty.

This is something I know, but forget all too often.

Have a good day.
