Clear Sailing

The weekend is over and a new week begins. Could someone please tell where last week went?

The Sunday Night league has ended and we finished in 2nd Place. Yes, first would have been great but considering how many good teams were behind us … I would take this. The best part is that next Sunday is the Payout of the prize money. The youth league starts on the 20th on Sunday Night. Does it ever end? Nope.

Work continues to consume all free time. We are winding down on the Transmitters but now all the stuff that was delayed during the move is due. Preferably yesterday.

A contest was started to see who could lose 20 pounds first. However, from what I see it will be tough. Ice cream with sprinkles for breakfast and supper does not appear a sure fire way to win. In addition, the increase of empty pizza boxes shows another weakness to someone’s plans. In addition, a bin full of empty soda cans is another telling sign. Odds of anyone making it are about 10:1.

Wild Mom is fencing the yard in this weekend. Trouble is the termites are now trapped and the exterminator will have to kill the caged beggars. She is trying to decide if she wants to cruise in December. Can you imagine her zip lining through the jungle in a bright pink bikini?

Lady starts a new week with some new help. She bowled good last night. I guess she is finally getting use to that new ball. Her weekends will be action packed the new few weeks with Mother’s Day this weekend, the following weekend is a retreat at Sandy Cove and then in two weeks someone gets older. Hmmm, I will pass on that one. Lew spent an extra day with us this weekend and it was about a day too long. We love having him but we are getting too slow to keep up.

#1 is alive and well. Perhaps one day he will get rich and I can retire.

#2 has no change to his status. Looking is the key word. Actually, “laptop” is his favorite word now.

Starr showed up and moved out the last of her stuff. Her life enters its next phase. Good Luck.

Princess is her usual self. As normal Davis and Booger are there too. One poops all over the place and the other follows Princess all around. You decide whom! “Laptop” is also her word of the day. Yesterday she started the weekly process of cleaning her room. Therefore, construction signs will be up in the hallway for several days. School is almost over and that means report cards. Is it fair to ground someone all summer if the grades are too low? Interesting concept but then again do, we want her in the house all day long to listen to the chant of “I am bored.”

Peanut moved in and started the process of settling in to the routine. The air freshener she put in her room is in stark contrast to #2’s dirty socks. I wonder who will prevail. Today she starts her new job and the road to her new life. I am proud of her for making the sacrifices and efforts to improve herself.

Sorry Paris, your whining about your jail time is ignored. “It isn’t fair” and “the punishment isn’t fair” is just that it is fair because you broke the law. Money and fame should never give you the right to break the law. You made the mistake and lost your license, then compounded it by being caught again. Suck it up and quit being a spoiled brat.

Congrats, Nats … you are well on the way to your predicted goal this year – 100 losses. I love seeing a team with such lofty goals and the skill to accomplish it.

Every time Juicer Bonds hits a home run, I lose respect for MLB. I vote for Pete Rose to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. If one cheater makes it in then let them all in.
