We went boating with Rick, Suzanne and some of their friends (very cool) for Rick’s birthday. Well, they go out every Sunday, which explains why Suzanne is so much better than the last time we went, jumping wakes and all. They have an awesome boat too. We all wake boarded then moved on to wake [...]

…of lung cancer yesterday at the age of 83. What can I say but, that really sucks. The world’s lost a truly gifted actor and humanitarian. Not to mention a great race car driver and downright good looking guy. Boo… ET online article

Thanks Mr. Bush for another ginormous fuck-up. And on top of that, are you seriously thinking of weakening the endangered species act? Do you really think all the animals currently on there will survive if they’re not protected? I can’t wait to see what your last ‘national disaster’ will be. It’s amazing that, in eight [...]

Quite honestly, nothing truly exciting has happened, but here are two ‘highlights’. We were at Wally World and we helped a 90 year old man find his car at high noon a couple of weeks ago. He handed Corey $2 and wouldn’t take no for an answer, so now they’re clipped on the fridge ;) [...]

We’ve had a frog explosion!

Actually I think they’re toadies. They’re everywhere, no matter where you look. We went for our walkabout this AM and I started seeing things moving underfoot in the grass. Bugs right? Nope itty bitty little amphibians the size of a fingernail, hopping this way and that. I’m telling you, after the torrential rainfall this afternoon, [...]

by GMI. No work next week. Eli says he sent an email outlining the postponement due to the FDA, but when I looked back over the emails we received it said nothing about rescheduling. It just asked about a Vegas job and another one TBD. SO I’m pretty pissed right now. I was totally counting [...]

Watched “Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont” last night. Lovely little movie; and Rupert Friend is quite easy on the eyes! I would like to introduce you to True North snacks; the yummiest, seemingly least bad for you morsels to grace our pantry shelf in a long while. Found in our Wally World, I highly recommend them [...]
