Same As It Ever Was

Louisville Palace, 10.21.08

Quiet for so long...

Sorry I have failed you, my faithful reader. I am taking requests. What shall I write about? Fiction? Free-verse poetry? Political ramblings? Funky fresh dance move diagrams? Lemme hear it.

Lies

Thoughts and stuff

• Why did they have to make morning so early?
• A fancy new bed may be the best money you'll ever spend. Although new tube socks are a close second. The first time you put them on, when they're all fuzzy and fresh? I love that.
• I miss my house a lot less than I thought I would. I guess waking up in love will do that to a guy.
• Good lord, I've gone Hallmark. I'm so sorry.
• My favorite dumb joke: What's brown and sticky? Answer later.
• I've put 15,000 miles on my new car in about 9 months. Luckily gas is really affordable.
• Party at my buddy's lake house this weekend. Boating, drinking and cards. I hope to win at 2 out of those 3.
• Facebook is not like crack. But it is reasonably entertaining and mildly addictive. Try it! All the cool kids with free time are doing it!
• Answer: A stick.
• There are probably 100 music stations on XM and WFPK (91.9 Louisville) is still better than all of 'em.
• Dinner last night was fresh salmon on the grill, topped with a round of goat cheese and cherry tomatoes. Collard greens on the side. Better than Sonic.
• My brother and his family have moved to Indy from Omaha. I am excited to have them so close - I hardly ever see those guys. My girls are about exactly the same age as his boys. So there's that.
• 2 weeks or so from the start of Fantasy Football. I have made the playoffs (and thus profited) every year in the league, but newly-found parental responsibilities might limit my R&D time. But probably not.
• On the plus side, Charmed has made it her vow to figure out football this year. So I'll have to spend a lot of time explaining it to her.
  
• That is all.
  

The walk-through...

is scheduled for 4:15 today. Please, please, PLEASE, buyer of my house, don't ask me to throw out that blue recliner in the attic, or all of those paint cans in the basement.

Because I am tired, and busy the rest of the week (we close on Friday), and I really don't want to find a home for 17 half-empty paint cans.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sold!

Probably. The inspection was yesterday and I'm just waiting to hear the results. All I have heard so far are some elctrical concerns which shouldn't be too big a deal. I hope.
