It Can't be

The end of May is upon us,,, Memorial day  is Monday,,,,  whats the celebrration....  ???

I once had an employee tell me that we should not  have to work Memorial day as it was a National Holiday,,,, 
I asked "What is Memorial Day??"
Answer "That's the Day America Invaded Pearl Harbor"  

"that's exactly why YOU are working  ...."
Open Honest Sensitive  - whats the problem ?

Yankess are in 1st Place ,, just can't seem to get into Baseball this year..

I think the Grass seed  and the Green Mulch stuff  that I so carefully raked into my  front yard where the tree was... is now gently floating down the Street - so much for trying the grow  lawn over that spot. might as well throw the Benjamin right out into the Road !!!

you know what,, It's 6:45pm,,, I have been in the office since 4:02 AM,,,,  I think that 's  long enough for anyone to work,,  I m so tired I ' m near fallin asleep as I type,,,  I am out,,,,

                                                                 

Losing IT

There are days that I think I am Losing it...

I don't Sleep much,,, 3-4 hours per night,,, I have this RLS that although not a KILLER disease... it is to say the least very disturbing,,, that after a day of activity,,, 8 mile jog in the AM,, a full day of  work at the Yard sale to say nothing of Fertilizing the lawn,, fussing with the pond .. getting tables from the rental place,, I Cannot sit down, and just relax,,, watch TV what ever,,, I have to stand and walk around the house for an hour,... even that does not work...   ok, like I said there is far worse thing that could be happening ,, but .....................

I can;t run any more,,, 6-8 miles is torture on my hips,, burr-situs is what they say,,, all I know is that it hurts.I used to be in decent shape ,, not anymore...   I asked the girl that jogs by my house what she was training for,,, she said "Bikini Season"  ha I thought,,, me in a swim suit,,, no one would be looking to see that !

Tinnitus
Know what that is with out Googling it !???  Ringing in my F ing ears.... yep all the time,... too many Rock shows back in the day,, I play my I pod way too loud,,, and Really like Loud music,, so I am putting up with the Ringing ,,,,,

Hey Hey,,, there are many many thing that I am surely Blessed with ,,, 3 great kids,,,I often wonder how they turned out so well.... Advanced Degrees from Colleges, Very good to Excellent Job opportunities/Careers.... they all seem to know what they want to do,,, where I never had a clue. All seem NOW in good relationships,,, hopefully they are happy....  Don;t see them half as often as I'd like, but they have their own lives to live ,...  My grandson,..  talk about not seeing him enough,,, I waited a while to have a grandchild,, so now I;d like to see him everyday,,, he is so smart fo so young,,, they are doing such a great job raising him !!  Funny that they don;t know it,,,
I can fix damn near everything.  Or build what ever,,, I enjoy the Challenge of making something with my hands, gives you a great feeling of accomplishment,,, that you made something out of Wood/wallboard/tile/ etc that did not exist ....and now does.

Might be time to retire from my current job and move to another,,, another where I work harder but enjoy it more.

Take solace that I can run/jog/bike and enjoy that more

Help others more.... volunteer more

I need another Tattoo !!

Go to WDW more,,,,can;t wait till the next trip,,, fast approaching but still months away.

Ok,, I will leave ya with a few songs that I can;t seem to hear enough right now...

 

Time to make a meat loaf  for tonight and go for a bike ride before Opening day at the Yard Sale!

Later DUDE

The way of the Worlds

I do apologize for the analogy to a Hot dog. Maybe I feel differently about that down the road...

58,..  ugh...

 Big series,, probably not,,, Tanaka, Pineda and CC,,,, well Maybe,,

SO Round 1 definetly to the Yankees,,, I feel so bad for John Lester,,,, boo hoo.... glad they beat the hell outta him,, usually not the outcome ,, Lester is one of the Best in the game,..    Tanaka, was great ,.,.Again,,, thought the emotion of Boston might get to him,, pitching with a lead is helpful,,, but he was excellent - again,... have to say the off season additions,, Tanaka,, Ellsbury,, Beltran,,, have all made an impact on the Team.... Good Job Brian Cashman !

And Why are the Asshole Sox fans booing Ellsbury,,, do you know that Boston never made him an offer,, do you pay any attention to the sport  ???  I tell you what ,, he is doing FOR the Yanks exactly what he did TO them for years... and Shout out to Joe Girardi... I  don;t care who is on the DL... or who else is in or out of the line up,.. THIS guy was the lead off hitter on the World Champion team.. Please leave him in the Lead off spot !!!


Why living to 58 is special.... Maybe more so as I know my father never got to do this.... Can;t wait for Dec 14th !!

seemingly a lot a to not talk about

Should be lots to discuss,,, but can get those words to pop ioutta my finger tips to this key board..  Baseball has begun,, and thought I 'd be more excited,,, I am not.

Still have my job,, and probably should not comment here,,, but I am wondering for how much longer,,,  and BTW,,, I am ready,,, maybe it's time to move on, I'd kinda like to do something else. I find it highly Ironic that recently my peers have taken to look to me for advice and counsel. I have heard,, hey you are the guy with all the experience, and knowledge,, and have been a manager forever,, so who better to ask about these things. I am now that old time , OLD manager, that I looked to others in past years for help... Its a good feeling.

Hope the weather warms soon,,, its been , and I have been cold long enough.  the fish want it to be warm,, and the grass is ready to break out,,, looks like my fertilizing of the Fall,, really worked,, but I will still have those bastard dandy- lions.


I wondered how great it was to have a Grandchild,,,and now ,,,I can tell ya if ya don;t know,, its unbelievably Great.  If you have one,, or more,,, you don't need to be told,, if you don't I cannot describe it.

I am not religious,,, spiritual maybe,, as I believe in some other God beings,, Just not a Religion ,, Its a wonderful story, which ever you believe. And I would not disparage anyone from their own belief,, I wish I was more that way , as I think it helps them in times of trouble to have that faith, I think the quote is "If you have faith , no explanation is necessary, If you don;t none is possible"

WHOO HOO and holy $hit !

Greetings,,,  As I write this I have just read an E-mail from the NYRRC,,.. to those who are unfamiliar that is the New York Road Runner Club,,, and although I knew early this morning when they charged my Visa card for the entrance fee,,,, It was good to see it Officially ... They have accepted my entrance to the 2014  NY City Marathon ....   really wanted to do the Same Marathon as my Daughter (her 1st,, my 9th  - will be the 3rd NYC,, but not there since 1996) - So Whoo hoo, and time to be way more serious about training,, and Paining,,,SEE Ya on the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge at 11am on November 2nd !

Lets turn to other matters,,, and remember Bas-e-bol is like a week away- so we will have plenty to write about then,,,, and the schedules put the Yanks and the Bosox right in the 1st weeks of the schedule,,,, nice..

Lets label this one "The un-Human condition" or Who the F do these people think they are??

So,, observe people,, look at the way they act and behave.

I am waiting at the Target' Checkout line,,, Target' - that's that new French store. any way there is a person in front of my buying some crayons,, and paper,, and markers,, scissors,,, a real craft fair....  OH and let me say that the NON express lines are packed ,,, 8 people deep - no lie,... so I am at one express line - with my TV WALL mount., behind the craft lady,,, the other express line has two people,,, with various items,,, not over the 12 max ,, but not one either...  Here comes FANCY SCHMANY lady,,, she is looking around,,,walks up to the other Xpress line,,, kinds counts the items,,,   looks at the sign,,,  comes over and looks at what we have,, craft lady and I ,..... back to the other register,,,, Now seriously looking like in a big hurry,,, looks at the other person in the other line,,, looks at me,,, LIKE I am gonna tell her to go 1st...  she starts with the Hurmph's ,,, more muttering to herself,,, Now exactly who is she ?? ,,,   while I think most of us want to be treated fairly,,, we don't want to kick the other guy to get ahead,,, we just want things to be fair,,,  If I am not next,, then let the person who is go next. (i have had verbal fights before over this)  and If I am next ,, then let me go next... But some of us think they are too good for that,,, too good to wait in line,, they drive up to the font of the store thinking that there will be a spot for them to park.  A table waiting for them in the diner, a doctor at their beckon call,... If they hurmph enough they will get their way,,, so she waited,,, behind me 1st,, then when I intentionally stalled the process by chatting the cashier over the Credit card or the Debit , and which should I use,... she moved to the other line,,, ...and as I left the store,, I bet you $1000 that it was her husband parked half in the lot half on the side walk - right in front of the store,,, BASTARD....   now I don't know where  we get these people ,, ut we never seems to run out of  'em.     If it's their Money ,,, their upbringing,,, their family,,, I don't know,,, but i hope that there is a special place in hell for these pricks that think they are better than the rest of us,

Have you seen my Grandson ??


 
 

What Happened?!?!?!?!

I have no Idear,,,,,,  seems many of the Posts are GONE ,... Whoosh,

They up and vanished like a fart in the wind.

No clue,,, probably something I did,,, If I ran outta space or room,, you would think they would lop them off from the 1st ones,, not the latet ones... oh well,, some of my best work.  THE HORROR.

Not much to tell,

 I can't watch Spring Training Baseball - means nothing, Don;t anyone get hurt, and let;s get the Season going in about a month.

Can we please stop with the Clocks,,,  Daylight Savings,,, UGH...

Even Me,, who like the cold is now tired of the Cold, So can it war up so we can all start bitchin about how how hot it is.

If you HBO and are not watchin TRUE DETECTIVE,,, you are missing out.

I have had enough of Shameless,,, this was spose to be a Sorta Comedy,,, how is a Baby being poisoned by Cocaine, and a Guy dying of Liver Failure comedy. Enough . 

Is my grandson the Cutest Kid ?!?!?!? (the answer is YES!)
