Climb The Mountain With Your Fingertips...
OK, lets catch up.
First, in Alex news, Mr. Dream All Day has found another song he digs. It seems "Jimmy's Fantasy" from the awesome "Phaseshifter" CD from Redd Kross is our favorite after bath tune. Now, Dream All Day is still definitely a car favorite, Jimmy's MUST be played while we are drying off, putting on our P.J.'s.
The family went down to San Diego over the past week while I was in North and South Carolina. I must say it is very nice down there. Reasonable home prices, nice people and nice scenery. I have never been that big of a fan of the southern U.S. and some things about the place rankled me a bit...way too much religious stuff, NASCAR and the sticky climate, but I figure you have to take the good with the redneck just as I deal with the populus of white trash living just 5 scant miles from me here. Given a choice, I still prefer the West Coast.
*Note*
They are paying $2.55 a gallon over there and are bitching about it!
Speaking of the fam...It's funny how you take things for granted until they are missing from your life. My house is eeirly dead without Gabi, and the boy running around. I can't wait until they get home tonight. I have had to preoccupy my time with outside of the house stuff to avoid the quiet. Last week my friend Dave from Central Cali stayed with us over the weekend and helped me see Gabi and Alex off on Saturday night. He drilled on Sunday at Fort Lewis (He is going to Iraq, and to say I am not scared for him would be a lie. He has two boys about to graduate from High School and a new wife and step kids.) While he drilled I completely gutted and cleaned the garage and then TA-DA!!!! I set up my hockey table!!! It is like the Bubble Boys style table where you have movable guys that rotate and you can pass the puck from guy to guy to score goals. It is awesome!!! Sunday, I had dinner with Dave and saw him off...Sunday night was quiet, and I got to see the season finale of the Sopranos (which was mediocre at best) and then I went to sleep. Carrie took me to the airport on Monday morning and off I went to the Carolinas.
Last night, I had the neighbors over and we played some hockey and ate some pizza. We sat through all 3 hours + of King Kong. The Jackson remake is pretty damned good. I do recommend it.
Avoid "Hostel" great idea, bad execution. (no pun intended)
I have a few quick bits, which I will cover later!!!
Adios.
