Its been some time since I've rambled on about nothing here, so while dinner finishes cooking, I'll see what comes to mind. Seem to be getting into a routine now that warmer weather is here. It's definitely here, too. Went to the races this past weekend and got COOKED! The week seems to play out like this: Firehouse on Monday, Billy's on Tuesday for Woofie night (Get caught up with friends and play with the dogs). Wednesday is whatever I haven't gotten done yet, chores, cleaning, surfing the net… Continue

And so it ends. Went to court today for the last time. 10 months of lawyering and it comes down to 5 minutes of "Yes, Sir" in front of the judge and that was that. Of course the lawyers had to wait untill the day before court to get stuff together. Updated financial, make sure the agreement was right, change this, etc., etc. I still have to take her off of the insurance, I'll do that tomorrow when I go back to work. We went to the bank and I signed over my 72 shares of worthless (almost) JDSU st… Continue

Thursday night (obviously), the kids were here while Mom went to weight watchers (the last payment of which, BTW, came out of my checking, she hadn't changed that when she moved out. Bounced a payment I had made too. But I digress...) They are home now and the place is quiet. The house was on the market about 2 weeks or so and someone made an offer on it. So we meet at the real estate office to go over the paperwork. Our agent is on vacation in Hawaii (must be nice), but her brother, who is also… Continue

The house is quiet, except for the race starting on TV. I went out in the backyard for a few minutes to shoot my bow between showers. As I walk out the back door, 2 deer take off into the woods. I hope that's a good sign for later this season. I haven't shot at all this summer, I want to get sighted in properly before I hit the woods. So the house is on the market, we've had 3 showings in the week that its been listed. If anyone is interested, the URL is http://www.realtor.com/realestate/staffo… Continue

In memory of those who lost their lives 7 years ago today. Continue

So I'm sitting hear watching the Red Sox playing the Orioles, trying to catch up (2-4 in the 8th). Have you ever had one of those days where you got absolutely nothing done? (BTW, the Sox just tied the score, triple, outfielder SLAMMED into the green Monster, laid him out). Anyway, I'm wondering what TS Hannah is going to do this weekend, as we are planning to go to Ellington's parade. It's probably the best one in the area, but not if its pouring Saturday. I cleaned the bathrooms a bit, brought… Continue

O.K. Now that I've gone to Wikipedia to find out exactly WHAT a blog is, I can start using this part. I am sitting here at the firehouse, almost praying for a call, just to have something to do. The race doesn't come on for 4 more hours, and I can't go home because the Bitch is still moving out...with MY kids! I still want to know just HOW she can afford $900/month rent selling Avon! Yeah, Right! And I'm typing with one hand because the left hand is holding the screnn of the laptop from flopping… Continue
