See, extra cash problem solved. You can send the check to my box in Somerville. Alternatively. You could buy a bucket load of gear and drop it off with me for safe keeping. hey! get your own racket!  Well I already have a racket. Grip tape is old but hey. Need my freind to get his own, we can play racketball at the Y while the wifes sit and talk by the pool...
I always preferred squash over racquetball.

No, but we've been talking about it for a while now. I think it's inevitable, but we need to figure some things out before we get to that point. But yeah, it's in the works.

and now you know what romanticism looks like (or at least you understand how romanticism doesn't really work - seriously, if you want a good relationship, you need to work hard).

Now I know why I skipped my college graduation. I was about 3 pitches up Vertigo when they called my name (twice), looked around, and then said, "in absentia."
At least I had the foresight to tell my parents not to waste their time going. Still, I'm proud of my Sports Management/Communications kid. Now GET A JORB, DAMMIT!!!1!

We just got back to NH after a 2 1/2 hour ceremony, a gluttonous lunch, changing the truck battery in Max's truck, dissembling a futon and packing it in my truck (fu€&ing futons; I loathe them), and driving 3 hours in the rain.
If there's no place like home, what will it be in two weeks when no place is home? I don't know either, but I can't wait.

Buttoning up for Bruisn-Leafs game 6, sitting down to work on a couple of small paintings, and yes, I do worry about my quick-adjust harness, and no, I don't like it.

Well, they're winning Game 6 at the moment...and I have a bad feeling that they're going to walk into the second round after Game 7, too.
Bruins are playing absolutely uninspiring hockey.

I recommend quiting your job now, before you get turned into a zombie. It is too late for me, but at least I can see the outside from here. There are other have drunken the coolaid, can't even see it and don't know better.  Yeah. This whole scene is getting weird. Kinda want to go live in the woods for awhile..

Freaking tired.
too much this weekend.
10 hour day on Fri didn't help.
Wife wanted to watch Soul Surfer Sat night. by the time we got the kids off to bed it was 930. And she still wanted to watch it. funny, used to be staying up till midnight was no big deal.
Sat the wife wanted to see Mud in the Theater. Didn't know anything about it, was actually pretty good. But made for a late night. Could have used some more sleep this weekend.
