USA #1Thu, May 28, 2009 @ 10:22AM With all due respect to the late Dinah Shore, who once beautifully sang the Chevrolet jingle in the late 1950s and early 1960s, when Chevy was USA No. 1, here's my new lyrics for the 70-percent government owned post-bankruptcy Chevrolet: "Owned by the USA, It's your Chevrolet.. The car Obama says you ought to buy. It's the most efficient yet, Kind of looks like a Chevette, Except that it's powered by the sun..

Salt Fork LakeMon, June 29, 2009 @ 9:44AM Had a pretty relaxing weekend... My lady and I went to Salt Fork with her cuz's Emily and Chris and their husband and wife. I kicked the weekend into gear with an adult beverage waiting for the cabin landlord to finish cleaning before we could move our stuff inside.... The guys and I started playing some golf with the plastic golf balls in the yard... We created par 3, 4 and 5 holes in the yard with various difficulties. You can see a pic of me below showing my sweet golden swing... Saturday morning the guys and I went golfing at the Salt Fork golf course. That course is a 10 on difficulty I must say. I wont tell you what I shot. The ladies went to Sugar Creek to get overprice Amish crap.... Later Saturday we played some cornhole and other festivities. We had a fire and had some smores and all that good stuff... I spent a good bit of time in the hot tub and had some adult beverages... A very relaxing weeken.

So much for modestyFri, April 17, 2009 @ 1:07PM So there we were sitting around the living room, the NBC'S Today Show on late morning, when Kathy Lee and Hoda launch into their next breaking news segment. It was titled something like "Below The Waist," a segment all about female topics I wasn't really prepared to hear as I digested my scrambled eggs in the mixed company of family members who had come for a visit. I could feel my face reddening before I could grab for the remote control. Sure, you can change the channel and get over it. Maybe it's just me or do we have to be bombarded by so many private topics in public forums all the time? Feminine hygiene products. Stuff for gas and bloating. And the Viagra commercials of couples looking all anticipatory and smiley-happy. Gimme a break. TMEI. Too much embarrassing informat.

Down the stretchMon, October 13, 2008 @ 10:31AM King football is winding down in Ohio and has four weeks left in West Virginia. Big Red will seek its 59th straight regular season win when Wheeling Central invades Harding Stadium Friday night. This was a game scheduled out of necessity. Both teams had Week 9 open and both agreed to continue looking for a game months ago, but also agreed they would play each other if nothing came about. Well, nothing came about. This is a 1-year contract. The Maroon Knights may continue to run into this as they are running out of West Virginia opponents to play. The Edison Wildcats, injuries and all, scored 22 points in the fourth quarter to beat Bellaire 35-13. You have to give it to the kids for continuing to stay the course. It's not easy being 0-6 when you expected a lot better. You can't count on dealing with injuries, but you expect to when they happen. And, they happened this year for Edison.

Biscottis & Gourmet CoffeeWed, April 15, 2009 @ 11:12AM Frankly, I am only doing this blog because I wanted a coffee break, and I figured I ought to do something work-related while I sucked it down. Nonni's Biscotti. The one that says "decadent" on the box. It's chocolate, with little pieces of almond and the bottom has a layer of chocolate. I'm making myself write a complete sentence between dunks. I think the coffee is Starbucks. Maybe. I didn't make it today; Angelina did. I walked in this morning and it smelled really good. A little Italian sweet creme in there, and you can see why I'm blogging. I am listening to the little fountain on my desk. It used to be in Sue's office, but she left. I also scavenaged her reed diffuser. That's the way we roll at the DT. If you leave, and you leave your stuff behind, it's ours. So far, as different coworkers have left, I have scavenged three tables, one chair, a white board, a filing cabinet and a coat rack. And various odds and ends.
