Party Till You Puke

podcaster — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 00:47:47 +0000

OK – so this in not New York City and Dick’s Last Resort is not Times Square. Maybe we can do that next year. But I need more than a couple of weeks notice to get that kind of money together. So this was close by, tons of fun, and right on the edge of the downtown craziness. Worked for me!

New York City?

podcaster — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:56:49 +0000

So, we were talking about New Year’s Eve and if we should stay local or maybe go somewhere. I’m fine with staying home, but it is not the same as being out in the street for a big party with free concerts and fireworks and 100,000 drunks singing “Auld Lang Syne.” Heck, if we are going to go out, why not just do it up and go to New York City? That is one big party at Times Square! Wouldn’t it be fun to be a part of that?

Dog Toys Without Stuffing

podcaster — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 02:28:39 +0000

My dogs like the toys that have squeakers in them. I can bring home any toy with a squeaker and they are on it! If I bring home anything else, like a rope toy or a hard plastic ball, they could care less. The problem with a lot of the toys that have a squeaker is that they are surrounded by stuffing and sewn inside the toy. When the toys finally tear or chew through the outer skin of the toy to get at the squeaker, they also end up with clumps and pieces of the stuffing all over the place. I also have a bad feeling that they may be eating some of the stuffing, which cannot be good for them.

I t was gratifying to discover a new line of dog toys at the pet shop today. They have the same fur-like skin and a squeaker, but no stuffing. They are priced the same, which I found remarkable. They have less but charge the same? OK – I guess I can deal with that as the price I have to pay for not picking up clumps of stuffing.

Saturday Mornings are Rough

Stayed up way too late last night. I was having too much fun to quit and go home. I wanted to sleep late this morning – but, no.

Great Profile Picture

podcaster — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 19:13:42 +0000

Clicking through a bunch of Facebook profiles last night, I came across this one. It caught my eye because of the intense colors. Then I realized that there were wings that looked like they were attached to her back. What a very cool pose!

Holiday Weekend

podcaster — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 05:22:47 +0000

This weekend is the Fourth of July holiday weekend. The price of gas shot up almost 30 cents a gallon yesterday, as it always does right before a big traveling weekend.

I know a lot of people will be heading for the beach. We are staying home this year. Our vacation won’t come until October when we go to DC for two weeks

Looking forward to watching the fireworks here – we’ll probably go downtown rather than the show being hosted by the new shopping center in Mt Juliet. The traffic is bad downtown but it is ten times worse in Mt. Juliet. I’m sure the fireworks show will be just as good at either place, so I’m choosing the one with the least traffic congestion after it is over.

Even Facebook Gets Boring

podcaster — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 03:49:09 +0000

When Facebook first came out, I had no idea what social networking meant and if I even wanted to get involved. My social life was pretty full and satisfying already, without any online help, thank you very much. But more and more of my friends were getting Facebook accounts and eventually I felt like the only one in my crowd that didn’t have a Facebook wall. So I caved and got one. But to be honest, after a year or so of being on Facebook, I’m bored.

How Many Candles?

podcaster — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 02:09:23 +0000

The problem with being this old is that there’s just too many darn candles burning on top of your birthday cake. I mean, there’s enough to set off the fire alarms in the office conference room already! But some brave soul decided to risk the fire alarm and bought me a birthday cake, which we gathered in the conference room to share this afternoon. That was really cool.

They also gave me a birthday card that someone had passed around the office – behind my back – and had everyone sign it.

Ice Cream Tasting

podcaster — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:32:32 +0000

There is an annual event here that charges a flat admission price and that entitles you to all the hand cranked ice cream that you can eat. Now, that’s a good deal. I can eat a lot of ice cream! … Continue reading →
