Don’t Know What To Say

I feel compelled to write something but I’m not sure what I want to say. I’m going to go “stream of conscience” on you so hold on for the ride.

I was out of town about a month ago and, in a few weeks, I’ll be out of town again. It’s for work. We’re supporting some training that’s being done up near Washington, D.C. It gets me out of the office for a week but the material is rather boring for me. The people taking part in the class are very engaged by the material because it directly affects them. Me, not so much.

DubDub and I had dinner last week and then came back to my place for a little roll in the hay. She actually gave me the address of the house where she’s staying (her parent’s house) only because her car is in the shop. When I pulled up, her two girls were out in the street. They look like taller versions of the children I used to know. It was pretty funny to see them.

I also had a date not too long ago with ‘the service’ I’m using. She was really beautiful and, as usual, I totally messed it up. It started off innocently enough but then got way off track when I said something about not being a pedophile (at this point I’m not sure how I got to that). I could see it in her face that she was not buying it anymore and I just kept going downhill from there. I was just saying stupid stuff as a joke and I’m sure she thought I was serious. She was happy to let me talk and bury myself I guess. It’s too bad because she was a total knockout. But, there’s no guarantee she would have been in to me anyway. I have to believe that or I will go crazy.

Superman and I went to a high school football game on Friday. The weather was great, cool and windy. We tried to go last week but our plan was dashed due to nobody’s fault. We headed for Game 1, which is closest to his house. I remarked that, on the way in, the overhead lights in the stadium were not on. No matter, we pressed on anyway. When we drove up to the school there were no cars in the lot, no fans in the stand and no players on the field.

On to Game 2: The next high school was a short jaunt down the street. Unwittingly, we got tangled up in some concert traffic but found the next stadium empty as well. We are 0 for 2.

On to Game 3: This one happened to be our Alma Mater. Probability was on our side. There HAD to be a game at the 3rd school. As we pulled into the parking lot, I noticed no cars but we did see the stadium lights on and we did see people on the field. It turned out to be the flag team practicing. So much for statistics – we’re 0 for 3.

Game 4: We headed for the school that was playing the team from Game 1. If they weren’t at Game 1’s place, they had to be playing at School 4. We were flabbergasted to find this school’s stadium dark as well. We had completely struck out.

When we got back to the first field (nearest Superman’s house) we saw that they were playing at a different stadium. At this point we didn’t feel like paying full price for half a game so we called it a night.

I suppose I’ll write more when there’s something actually going on.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

The ‘Ol One-Two Punch

In an effort to follow-up on my job hunt, I must tell you that I was not offered a job from either company for which I interviewed. The first company I visited actually had me come back again. I saw this as a good sign. It is generally accepted to inquire about the status of the position a week after interviewing, which I was prepared to do. They couldn’t wait until Thursday and sent me a ‘dear john’ letter on Wednesday. The second company I was pretty sure wasn’t going to make me an offer. When I walked out of the office (after the interview) I just felt like they were looking for someone I’m not. Officially, the owner said he would have a decision made before Friday but, like I said, I’m not holding my breath. He said he had 4 or 5 candidates and – unless all of them decline – I’m not expecting to hear from him. Finding a job is tough. I spend a couple of hours a day looking through all the online postings, waiting to find one for which I’m qualified. It’s almost like begging, which ...

Only Always

Parents – You know, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few Saturdays ago and I didn’t even mention anything about it. That’s quite an accomplishment. The weather held out (meaning it wasn’t overly hot) but I’m finding that I got bit all to hell by the bugs. My legs are tore up from the floor up. Date – Yea, I had a date on Saturday but it was so un-interesting I didn’t even lead off with it. She had really pretty eyes but that’s all I can say that was positive. Everything else was neutral. I don’t know that I have much else to discuss. I was thinking this was going to be longer but nothing much is happening. Workdays are going by faster because there’s SO much going on and a lot of people are out. One of the women in Accounting just left so it leaves them short-handed. To catch up it is estimated they need about 12 people in that department. Currently there are 2. The woman that reports to me is out on vacation for another week so I continue to do her job. I shoul...
