Birthday Dinner

Had a nice birthday dinner for my wife with friends last night. We went to the Thai Orchid Restaurant. As usual, it was very good. It was also Kate’s birthday, the blonde in the top two pictures below.

We all stayed up too late last night and I, for one am dragging this morning. Tomorrow will be a long day as well, I’m going to Cayman Brac for work for the day. It will be a 14 hour day, minimum. Hope I can get some extra sleep tonight!

Have a great day!

Never Ask

There was this little gradeschool boy, primary school aged, 8 or 9 years old. He.lived with his mom, she was happily divorced and they had a nice little apartment and a good life.

One day the little boy asked his mom, “Mom, how old are you?” The mom chuckled and said “Son, you should never ask a lady how old she is.”

“Oh,” said the little boy. “well, how much do you weigh?”

The mom laughed a little more and said, “that’s another thing you should never ask, how much a lady weighs.”

But the little boy wanted to know, so when his mom wasn’t around, he sneaked in her purse and looked at her drivers license.

Later that day, he says, “Mom, guess what? I found out how old you are, how much you weigh and I also found out why daddy left.”

That last part took the Mommy by surprise and she stammered a little, “What? Why do you think daddy left?”

And the little boy replied, “Because you got an ‘F’ in sex!”

Have a happy Tuesday. Today is my wife’s birthday, don’t ask how.old she is or how much she weighs. But she got an A+

Fast Runner

I realized today what a fast runner I am. i spilled coffee grounds this morning, and apparently, it takes me the same amount of time to clean up spilled coffee grounds as it takes me to run my 1.8 mile course, because by the time I got it cleaned up, It was the same time on the clock as when I get into the shower.

i didn’t run today, spilled coffee, didn’t have time.

If Ditto was still alive, it`d be his birthday. Also, on this day in 1979, I left Silver Spring, MD for boot camp.

Yesterday at work, I ha annual safety training, all day. Got it again this afternoon, and tomorrow morning.

There’s your daily randomness. Havva goodun! 

Tuesdays Dinner Party

Last night we had a small cookout for my wifes best friends dads birthday. I cooked a whole tenderloin, AKA a 7 pound filet mignon, on the barbecue.

I gotta say, it came out beautifully. First i put the potatoes on high for a while. Then I put the meat on, still on high, for 5 minutes. Then I turned it over for 5 minutes. Then i put the grill on low and turned it over every 15 minutes for about an hour and fifteen.

Before I started, I was stressed about screwing it up, but after a while, I started to get the good feeling. Then I was worried about the potatoes. They were good too.

I’m pretty sure everyone got enough to eat.

Now it’s hump day. I’m riding the scooter, first time in weeks!

Have a great day!

Personal New Year

Tomorrow is my birthday, 7-11.

image

I’ll be 55.

When I turned 40, seems like about 5 minutes ago, I thought, “My life  is approximately half over  (If I don’t screw up and get m’self kilt)”. This second half seems  to be moving a lot faster than the first.

I think that birthdays are good times to make new years resolutions, after all, it is the start of a personal new year, isn’t it?
My resolution is “no TV when the sun is above the horizon”. I gave up television totally before I got married, now, the Wife likes it, so I end up watching too, and getting addicted. I like Modern Family.

This weekend, we’re going to East End for a mini stay-cation. It’s gonna be GREAT!
We have a young woman staying over to take care of the dawgs.

You know you’re getting old when you call a pretty girl a “young woman”!

Have a good weekend!

Happy Birthday To My Wife!

Today is my Wife’s Birthday. I won’t tell you how old she is. We had a party for her Saturday night, well , she had a party. I was working. She did all the work cleaning the house and getting the beverages and whatnot. But today’s her birthday. She loves her birthday! I hope to make it as special for her as I can.

It’s Monday. blah. I was up till midnight and got up at 5. I had a sound job this weekend and was editing and uploading the audio till late. When I woke up and looked at the computer, the final file had finished uploading 7 minutes ago.

Have a good week!

Busy, Productive Weekend

It was a good weekend.
Saturday morning I went to the beach. Then at noon I went to town and rented a big jackhammer. Then Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning I dug 3 big holes in the yard and planted 3 trees, an avocado, a breadfruit tree, and a Desert Rose. The  desert rose is more like  a bush than a tree. Then that evening was the Wife’s works Christmas party, we played Miniature golf and then went and had a dinner. 17 years on the island, and that was the first time I had ever been to the mini golf course. It was fun!
Yesterday afternoon I went to the cigar bar with a friend and smoked two big fat cigars and watched American Football. For once I was not disappointed in the football.
One thing that didn’t get done this weekend was that I need to re-caulk the bathtub, and I meant to clean my “desk” and fold and put away the clothes I have piled up on top of Sheba’s kennel. That’s one thing I didn’t get done.

Well, the whole weekend fits into a couple of short paragraphs.

Happy Monday! This is the start of the big week!
