Life remains confusing. Some unexpected things have happened that I cannot yet explain or will be able to. I’m just rolling with the punches at this point. These past few days have been more pleasant. Not sure if it is acceptance of fate or reversal of fortunes. Kids seem to have forgotten what is going on. or are not overtly displaying response.
Have optimistically started planning some coaster trips for next summer. Whether they happen or not at least I have something positive on the distant horizon. Tenative for Holiday world in end of May and New Jersey in mid July. Have never been to Jersey, would be a fun, if not long, driving trip with Mike Parker. He’s a veteran of this place so I will get the full east coast tour. Even planning on riding the Coney Island Cyclone. If it happens. Would like to squeeze a California trip in sometime next year. Need to get the weight loss going. Too many coasters I might not be able to ride comfortably.
Watched the fifth-to-last space shuttle launch yesterday. It was awesome as usual. Watched it streamed live on iPhone. So clear it was almost hd quality. Very impressive. God I love the iPhone. It has made me an apple convert.
Saw 2012 last week. Typical for disaster movie. Weak storyline punctuated by huge destruction scenes. Kinda wonder where all that water came from, must have been dry somewhere.
Also finally watched BobCat Goldwaiths second directed movie “let sleeping dog lie”. Very good movie begun with a very disgusting act. Even by my standards pretty gnarly.
Ya Dianna is coming into town next week. Feel like I know her a little now. Havnt seen her since graduation in 1989. She’s had a tough year and would good for her to catch up with old friends. Maybe we can even convince her to come back to Illinois. Yeah right. She’s more likely to convince us to move down to Orlando or someplace else in florida. Wonder why I didn’t get the brilliant idea to settle in a warm place after graduation. At least I never settled any farther north than Chicago.
Time to start thinking about Christmas presents for Parker and Noah. I think Noah will get a netbook of his own. Parker I have no idea. He is harder to buy for. Maybe I’ll give him a trip somewhere.
Enough rambling. Back to work. Sales Histories are running now.
I'm glad things are more pleasant. It's a good way to live.
ReplyDeleteThose trips sound like a blast. You've looked all the way out til summer? I need step-by-step directions how to do that. Looking all the way to February the other day nearly created a mental meltdown.
Why did so many of us choose to stay in the midwest? It must have been something they put in the water....and to think I WILLINGLY chose to move farther up north. Insanity. However, I'll take my pace of life over warmth, if those are my two choices.
Go throw one back with DiAnna for me. Wish I could be there. I can only imagine the stories that are going to fly.
2012....I never once wondered about the water. Now it's going to bug me, thanks.
Christmas? NOT GOING THERE!!! I wonder how the people on my list would feel about air.....I bet that wouldn't fly. Why is it that the oldest is so hard to buy for? A trip sounds like fun. A day out with dad is always good. A day at the arcade or a guy movie fest at the local theater.....oh the possibilities are endless.
Run sales histories, run for your little lives!!!!
Okay, you'd think I'd go look at my little followig blog thing to see if you've updated, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I have to check in pretty much daily to see if anything has changed. GUESS WHAT?? Nothing has changed!!! Get to blogging mister. I need new reading material.
ReplyDeleteI take it blogging isn't your thing? Oh well. Nice try at it. You were doing great.
