Memorial Day weekend

Had a great time playing Drinking Kickball. Having a drink in one's hand when trying to catch a speeding ball is a bummer. There was alcohol abuse everywhere. And yes, one can strike out when playing this game. You would have to ask Shanna or Kaz on how one does something like this. After awhile the score was not as important to keep track of as much as just having fun and laughing.

After playing for a couple of hours, I hung around and was referee. Man that was a workout but a fun one. The sun also had a great time. It came out from the clouds late in the afternoon. I wasn't so happy later on when I was home. A little sunburn is not always good mixed with alcohol.

Sunday was a great day for resting and so I did, most of the day. Cats were loving it just as much as me. The three of us slept until 1pm. We then lounged on the couch until it was bed time.

Monday was a bit lazy as well but I treated it like any other work day. Got up around 7am, did my normal morning routine then started in with cleaning up the apt a bit here and there. Jen called and I headed over to her folks place around 5ish. Good food and plenty of it too.

Picked up this and this one tonight. Both good movies for their era. heh

Hitting Planet on the 3rd. Come out and visit if you can get away.

Hope you all had a great weekend. Chao!

The week in review

Well Waiken left yesterday for his new home in Vancouver. Many wishes of safe travels my friend and stay in touch! Other folks, check out his website for details of his trip.

Sick once again. I can't believe how much I've been sick this year. I almost feel married again,damn! This time I went to the doctor. Let's just say it wasn't worth the 15 bucks admission fee. I wouldn't have minded if I got a script for some drugs or something to help the coughing but NOOOOOO. Ah well. I'll be looking for a new one soon enough.

It was nice to have a day off during the week. hmmm might have to do that again. Boss was pretty cool about it.

Saw this on the tube this morning. Thought it was pretty awesome even tho it was last year's season show. If I had the opportunity I'd go to check it out for a long weekend or two.

Other good news: the stinky contractor leaves June 17th. I might be getting an imaging tool so it won't take me 3 hrs a machine.

Bad news for me: contractor's last day is the 17th. Means I'll be doin all the work now. Well that might be good. It will also hopefully show some Directors that it can not all be done by one person for 2500 peeps.

Now for the real reason your reading this: If you had to make a choice, would you be in the band or the chorus?

Have a great and safe Memorial Weekend!

Some folks need a life

Waiken's party was fun. Dinner at Trocadero's was good as always.

Here's the idiot that is posting on my site as well as others lately.

I'm not sure what this person is trying to do or say here but maybe you should get you facts straight first. Yeah I'm fat but you know, I'm a damn happy person. Bummer for you that you are not!

Up coming news: Memorial weekend is the kickball game. Should be fun. Email John for the details.

The weekend of June 3rd to the 5th has several possibilities around the city.

The weekend of June 11th I will be out of town at DisneyWorld with the family. Here's to drinking!

Other bonus features to this posting:
- My car just rolled over 60,000. I know it's not much for some cars but for me it's a mile stone (no pun intended). I bought the car at the end of October 2000 and it was "born" in August 2000. Not bad for a little over 4 years.
- Heard on the news today that England will not advertise Happy Hour. I wonder if this is a precursor to what might happen here one day.

Ok on to the question: What movie do you watch to make yourself have a good cry?

Eat out and do charity work at the same time!

Here's the 411 on Dining Out 4 Life. I'm excited that Bars are participating this year!

I'd like to get a group together for lunch and dinner. How about Venice Club for lunch and Nanakusa for dinner? Let me know if your in. Only one criteria is used for this night - try someplace that you or most everyone has not been to before.

Other fun news - Summerfest will soon be here. Want to pay 9 bucks a ticket? Otherwise, it's 12 bucks a tix. Let me know. I'd like to go see Night Ranger, Whitesnake, Eddie Money, Kool and the Gang, Kenny Wayne Shepard (awesome that he's made it to the big stage!), Los Lobos and Alter Bridge. Hmmmm maybe the 5 tixs I requested won't be enough. hehe

I haven't been up to too much. Suffering from sinus for the last week or so. This great Milwaukee Spring weather has been a great help the entire time. Yeah I think I would like 60's on a daily basis and a place where it doesn't mention 40 degrees as a high for the day. I might be able to get used to that.

Question of inquiry: If a choice was given, what would your decision be? Situation: Stay and be happy with your (insert whatever is relevant to you - job, career, spouse....) or look for something/someone that will make you happier than you have been in years?

Thanks everyone!

Thanks to those that attended the anniversary dinner! It was great fun, good company and fun tasty food. :) The dinner was at Pizza Man with John, Lisa and Adam. I headed to Planet after that to work a bit for my friend Jen. I get there and I really didn't have to work, she showed up. How cool for me. It was awesome that I was able to keep my pre-dinner buzz going until I got home.

Got up pretty early on Sat. Early for me is before 10am. Now my babies look really really cute and don't have all that hair to deal with in what WI calls Spring. I'll be sharing pics once I take some and download it from the new PalmOne Treo phone.

Have I mentioned how much I love this new phone. I think I like the full keyboard that I have with it, the fun texting folks pretty much all day, the built-in camera, the speaker phone capabilities, and the available downloadable free games. I haven't had a chance to download to many utilities just yet. Trying to make sure that I have a handle on what I have so far. I also can't believe how many games, utilities and features there are out there for purchase as well. Should have known, Folks have to capitalized on something and make money from it.

Oh have I mentioned my new boss is very cool. He and I pretty much see eye to eye on what is best for the Lab Not to mention he thinks I'm cool. He likes that I'm honest direct and pretty driven. Hmmmm I like this type of boss. Wonder why it has taken so long for our director to get a capable person to lead many of us in the ways of working together.

Your Birthdate: September XX

With a birthday on the XXth of the month (5 energy) you are inclined to work well with people and enjoy them. You are talented and versatile, very good at presenting ideas, and you are also very good at organization and systematizing. You may have a tendency to get itchy feet at times and need change and travel. You tend to be very progressive, imaginative and adaptable. Your mind is quick, clever and analytical. A restlessness in your nature may make you a bit impatient and easily bored with routine, and rebel against it. You have a tendency to shirk responsibility.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

I think I have to agree with the above. Especially with the itchy feet and needing to travel. :)


OK, it's way over the time for a nap. Question: Pick an ultimate Movie-star boss? (I'm thinking along the lines of a decent director - Ridley Scott, George Lucas, or Al Pacino.)
