Post-Game Night Wrap-up: We lived. Well, most of us did. At least one NPC, a van and a three houses caught the business end of an ass-whoopin’. We’ll probably hear about what happened to the residents of those three houses next week. That bodes ill. There were a few moments where we weren’t sure if
I woke up this morning with no clue what day it was. It was a a little disorienting. So… I turned over and went back to sleep for another fifteen minutes. That seemed to put things back into proper perspective.
Something from a few years ago that still makes me laugh: A copy of a note/memo from former coworkers of mine…

Sunday
I worked on my tan again today. I went to the swap meet to check a few things. I still say that
Home for football (see earlier post).
Post-football, we headed to Borders to hang out for a bit. Had coffee, drew, talked with Amber, Heather and Charlie. On to get a bite to eat and then it was off to see Once Upon a Time in Mexico. I liked it. It was a little over-the-top in spots, but it was fun.

I don’t remember exactly when I first heard of Ms. Gibson – it was sometime in elementary school – but I remember being impressed by her accomplishments. Even then.

And that will be all for tonight.
Namaste.
Made some REALLY boneheaded – and costly – plays… after making what looked like a good effort of coming back. Their end of the game drive was good, but a turnover killed any hope of a win. And, I have to give a big nod to the Kansas City Chiefs for a well-played game.
Bye week.
Won. They blanked Atlanta. Blanked Atlanta. Nice job.
How Do I Swear in Foreign Languages?
God bless the Internet.
Friday
Not a bad early part of the day. And, it ended with coffee, drawing, conversation and dinner with friends.
Most people are familiar with him as an author or actor. To me: He’ll be the spokesman for the Intellivision… especially for Major League Baseball. And the man who invented Sidd Finch.

Namaste.
Robert Palmer died last night from a heart attack.
Like many other teenaged males in the mid-80s, I remember when he seemed to… “just appear” on the music scene with his video for Addicted to Love. And, I admit: It was more for the models than for him… But, whether as a member of The Power Station or as a solo act, I enjoyed the man and his music.
He will be missed.
1949 – 2003
This morning, The Pretenders’ Back on the Chain Gang was playing on the radio when the alarm when off. That’s not the first thing that one wants to hear when getting up and preparing to face the work day. I think that the only thing that could have made that situation worse would have been had this been the first thing heard on the radio on a Monday morning.
Thursday
Not a bad day. And, tomorrow is Friday.

It’s later than I had planned on getting to bed. Damn that Photoshop!!! It’s time to call it a night.
Namaste.
Sequitur. Non-sequitur.
Any questions?
I was looking over a couple of things on my site and came across the following:

Wednesday
Oy.
Let’s see… in the past 14 days, we have covered over 4500 miles:
…and that doesn’t include the travel within the cities. Yeah… there was a pretty good reason that I was so out of it by the time I went to bed last night. And, I was even in bed by the ungodly (for me) time of 12:15. Twelve-fifteen! That’s almost unheard of!
The weekend was… busy/eventful:
All-in-all, it was a good weekend/trip… despite the reason for going home. It was good to see family and friends. Very good. It had been far too long. My uncle said that he’ll be out here for a visit in the next six weeks or so and, though it hasn’t been confirmed, my father may be coming out next month, too.

Quote of the Day
Ima Goodlady/Sedusa: And just where do you think you’re going?
Blossom: We’re going to fight crime!
Buttercup: It’s what we do!
Bubbles: DUH!
Namaste.
Home.
Tired.
More later.
Namaste.
And we’re just about ready to head to Ye Olde Port of Air. Soon, we’ll be Maryland-bound. In case I don’t get around to updating and what not, I hope that everyone has a good weekend.
that little spot on the ground is my hometown
i like to call it my home and it’s sweet
i’d rather take a seat down there
than a throne up here up above 30,000 feet
and i’m up on the airplane

Note any interested Marylanders: If anyone wants to get together for coffee or something while I’m there, leave me a text message with your contact info.
Namaste.
