That Medal Ain't Just Weighing Down the Democrats .....
We'll be the first to admit it - we are damned tired. I get every other Saturday off, and literally, every one has been spent at a party at the house here. ALL SUMMER... We doubt we will get any sympathy from the Peanut Gallery for having to be burdened with drinking and eating every fortnight. However, Joe and Carol do throw awesome parties, but those parties involve a lot of work and preparation. Seriously, the last time I had a Saturday with no party to go to was June.... It doesn't end anytime soon either - August 29th is my family reunion in Pennsylvania. Somehow, we continue to trudge along... Whether it be from exhaustion or alcohol poisoning, let the fuzziness begin!!
First , the weather. Today, there is some cloudiness, but it is quite comfortable for mid-August. It might hit 80 today. Yesterday was absolutely perfect: 81 and not a cloud in the sky. I'm convinced that Joe and Carol pay extra for the nice weather as well... Work is OK as well, with a few concerns. Corporate hacked a few people this week, and for once, I made the cut. A 975 CSI for 2 months straight will do that. Unfortunately, we lost our 22 year old receptionist with an ass you had to see to believe. Sexy, sexy girl.... Too bad she's young enough to be my daughter, and not like I got lucky in the 8th grade either...
In sports, the Yankees roll along, with some minor pitching concerns. I'll feel better when Andy Pettitte comes back. As far as the Mets, they're pretty much out of it, but they still pull a headline or two. I still don't know what exactly K-Rod did to his fiancee's Dad, but to us, he broke a cardinal rule - never bring family to the office.....
Everyone is throwing their 2 cents in on the mosque near Ground Zero. While we are patriotic, we're sticking to our Libertarian streak here. This clearly is a freedom of religion issue here, and as such, if they want to build the place there, and it's legal, then they can do it. Long ago, we all came here to seek freedom for different reasons. First, no one wanted the Irish or Germans, then those smelly, greasy Italians came in, and those Jews that don't even read in the right direction came along. Then the Asians came...The only difference is that the people coming now are browner, and some of them follow the the more sensible line of the religion that these nutjobs follow. New York is a melting pot, and many Xenophobic White Bread Americans who don't realize that people of all races were killed on 9/11 have no idea about it. It may hurt some people's feelings, but they will get over it. Also, you can be sure that the NYPD, FBI and CIA will know who EVERY person that sets foot in that mosque is - which is legal too.
An indicator of how uninvolved in politics I am here. Chris Cox and Randy Altschuler are battling to take on vulnerable Democrat Tim Bishop (D-NY1) in my area here. I have NO IDEA when the primary is.... but the signs are up. Primaries only 75 days before the general election are a clear disadvantage to challengers in our book.... Good luck, fellas.
Good news on the social front. I've finally hooked up online with a woman who seems okay, and is not, uh ........ plump, with a nice personality. I need to find someone soon, because Carol almost couldn't take me rockin' the microphone at her party 2 weeks ago. Some things never change, but it always wears off. After all, it is ME we're talking about here....Speaking of things never changing, Joe decided that his 600HP Roush Stage 3 Mustang just didn't cut it, so he's having a ................... drumroll, please ................. Lamboghini Murielago come in Wednesday. Yes, we will post pics next weekend. I think he's lost his friggin mind, but when you're crazy and well-off, it's called eccentric.
I'll be off Thursday, but don't expect much from us here: I have a Dr.'s appt, then we're taking the kids to Adventureland. Haven't been there since I was 14.... Maybe my triglicerides will creep under 500 by then....
