Rome

April 26, 2008

OMG Flight #2/#3 is done and we are more tired and stinkier than we have ever been before. We landed in Rome right on time at about 9am after a very uneventful flight. We were too early to get on the ship so the cruise line offered us a bus trip excursion to see the [...]

Frankfort

April 26, 2008

4/26/08 6:30amOK, we are done with flight #1. Well, #1 for me, #2 for Adrienne (sorry that sounds more scatological than I intended).

And Away We Go………………..

April 25, 2008

I landed in Detroit at 5am local time. Erika picked me up and we met Gretchen and Gordon for a Coney Island Breakfast (not Leo’s quality, but Coney nonetheless). Our flight leaves at 3:50pm which means Erika and I will be at the airport before 1pm. I don’t think DTW has wifi, so the next [...]

Knee Update

April 24, 2008

SO the official diagnosis is Rhuematoid Arthirits in the Left knee. There we fun x-rays, and a bunch of probing and prodding with the hands of many Doctors used in making that diagnosis.

Since you Brought it Up

April 21, 2008

Uncle Marcel brought up the subject of Bush’s masturbation stimulation Stimulus package. All it is, is a stroking of his………..well his ego at the very least. Again another way to throw way more money out the window because we are not yet in to debt enough before he leaves. Really, tell me, for you personally, [...]

Bust-A-Cop

April 21, 2008

Yep that’s what I did this morning. C’mon we’ve all seen ‘em do things wrong and blow it off, because, well because they are cops and they hold a certain amount of immunity in our world. But today this guy went too far and just irritated the heck out of me. As I am driving [...]
