Well I am back. (kind of)

Karen is out grocery shopping and me and the dog are on the couch. I really should get off my dead ass and get some work done. I guess more I have re-thought my anger of the last week. Work really has not changed. The same issues good and bad are still there. Of course the weather does not help. I still feel alone with 5 others working in the same division but it is what it is. The big thing is I HAVE A JOB and insurance. It pays well and I do have fun.

They keep on talking about the weather. Seems that there was a snow storm last night. Looks like up north got hit bad. I am looking at the lawn that has just a dusting.

Yes I know it has been a while. Finding time to post on a regular basis is hard. I do update Facebook but not as much as I should either.
I have been preoccupied with death of others. The 10 year old in Evanston, Eddie Schwartz, and others related to my job.
I aggree with the Mother if the 10 year old from Evanston there had to be some foul play of some sort. What is gods name could cause a 10 year old to want to kill himself?
Eddie Schwartz is a sad case. At one point he was paid so well died penniless. Dialysis and medical bills do drain a bank account but did he really need to die. I think he just gave up. Eddie had a big heart and a big ego. I think when he got bounced from LUP it was the beginning of the end.
Death is part of life but sometimes it just sucks. I love listening to radio at night. Yes I have a cheap radio next to my bed and still get excited when I hear WLW or WTMJ or any other station from out of Chicago. Thanks to the internet and an Iphone I can listen to a whole bunch of radio stations. I hate pre programmed pre packaged radio. There is no effort to it.
If you get a chance take a read on Janets Planet on Dahl.com I wish I could write like her...

It's been a while since I posted. I look forward to reading blogs like Steve Dahl and others. It is disappointing when they don't post on a regular basis. I now understand about time or the lack of time. Between working and working and family time is not on our side. I have only been at the gym twice this week and sorry it is just to fricking cold to walk outside. I saw a lady yesterday with her dog play Frisbee in the park. She was dressed warmly but damn it was cold out.
Changing subjects here.
It has been President Obama's first week and guess what? The world has not come to an end. Chitlins and pork fat are not the new american staple. Economy still SUCKS people are out of work business are closed and people are hurting. Do things need to be fixed now? HELL YES!! Is it going to happen?? HELL NO. Things like this take time. People have place a lot of stock in what the president wants to do. I think the one thing that Mr. Obama has not communicated is the length of time this recovery is going to take. Some seem to think a year I am a bit more pragmatic and think it will be 2 to 5 years.

Well enough for now. I will like Steve try to write something daily or at least do my best.

Where does the weekend go???

Seems that it was just Friday night with the weekend ahead of us. Now it is 5:15 and the weekend is over or at least almost. Got a lot done this weekend but could use about another 48hours to do more. My man cave is progressing but slowly. Every time I go in there I see something else that needs to be addressed. Karen is watching football. Arizona is beating the Eagles. I want so much just to relax. House is clean no thanks to me. I was out looking at TV's today. Jessie was supposed to have a boy over for dinner tonight. In the last 10 minutes things have changed with him coming over and not coming over. Apparently his parents were never consulted on the visit.
Well we will see how things turn out.
Looking forward to work this week (NOT) the frozen sprinkler pipes are going to be fun. Seems that things are slow there. The emails are down and radio is quiet.
More later.

It is cold today

Well made it to work without incident. Cold outside. Right now temp is 14 BELOW ZERO.
Boss called off sick again, and again, and again, and again. Big bosses at meetings. Busy today but not to bad.
Seems Roland Burris is being sworn in by Dick Cheney. Stay low Roland Dick is a bad shot.
I can only imagine what is going through Obama's head right now. "What the hell am I doing?????"
I think I have too many clothes on I am hot as heck.
Taking a line from Steve D. Wonder if Ricardo Motelbon is being buried in rich Corinthian leather????

Snow and Cold

I sit in the house alone. Jess and Karen on their way home from an orthodontist appointment. It is quiet dog sleeping beside me on the couch. PBJ for dinner. It has snowed with a 2 1/2 drive home tonight. Should have taken Karens advice and stayed at work. It is nice just to sit and crash. Supposed to be cold tomorrow. Had to find all the long johns. Wish I was somewhere warm right now.

Well traffic sucked last night.
It is ashamed that 3 kids died needlessly on the southside of Chicago yesterday. Smoke detectors no batteries. When are people going to wake up?
Seems that politics being what it is remains unchanged. Rolland thinking he is the great Senator from Illinois. Don't you think once you are a registered lobbyist that should disqualify you from holding public office?
Today is looking better with the sun out.
