Month: January 2004

It’s too early in the game for me to be so optimistic, right? It’s 10 to 0 as I write this, Manning has already thrown two interceptions which must be a little distracting to him. It’s downright balmy out compared to their last game.

Junior’s bowling party was a huge success. I think all the kids had a great time, no injuries reported, and this marks the first time in three parties Junior hasn’t sprung a nosebleed. I think using the Ocean spray daily has solved the problem, for the most part. It’s also 100% humidity outside, if I read the weather report correctly, compared to the 10% or so it was last week. (Well, that’s how it FELT anyway).

I’ve spent the last half hour searching for decent photos of the Ninja Storm power rangers to use as a model for the birthday cake we have to decorate. Specifically we’re looking for the green ranger, because that is Junior’s favorite. He was the green one for Halloween. There are amazingly few photos on the internet, or at least, amazingly few of the Ninja Storm PR’s and even fewer of the Green Samurai PR. Sheesh.

It is interesting to see what’s out there, and to note that if you have a public website and you take a picture of your roommate and somehow refer to him as a Power Ranger, it might be the result when someone does a Google image search. I’m just saying.

I thought I was soooo clever. Ha. One of us is clever and it isn’t me.

Junior looked tired. He went to be really late last night, but I figured that was okay because today is Saturday. HA. He came in and woke me up at 6:30, which is early for him, never mind when he doesn’t fall asleep until 10pm!

He also had swimming this morning, which tires him out. I told him he should take a rest. He didn’t want to. Okay, well, then your options are to help me clean or take a rest. We have a lot of cleaning on the agenda, including his room. Guess who went to take a nap so now I can’t clean because the majority of what I need to do involves his room and the room next to it?

Well, maybe God wants ME to nap too. It could happen…

I see a couple of you are looking for my previousEric Heenan entry here. He’s the traffic guy in the morning on WXLO. I’m sure the sudden interest is related to the fact that SUDDENLY the man’s voice is COMPLETELY different, and they are saying it’s because of the equipment he uses to broadcast. I’m not convinced. I don’t think it would change is voice THAT much. I’m trying to listen to the phrasing, etc. to see if the “content” of the report matches what it normally is. I haven’t heard anything yet that made me say “Oh, Eric used to say that all the time, it really MUST be him.”

This is, to a lesser extent, similar to the WBZ radio sneaky bastige attempt to fool us into thinking that Gary LaPierre, the cornerstone morning anchor for *mumble* years, was reporting from Boston yesterday. Apparently some time ago he struck a deal that during the winter, two weeks of EVERY MONTH he broadcasts from Florida. Defenders say “who cares where he’s doing it” but I say it’s deceptive and sneaky and if it was no big deal why wasn’t it known until yesterday? Why hide it? What kind of integrity is that?

So if the traffic reporter is named Bob, why call him Bill or Frank or Eric?

1. The pipes stayed intact

2. The heat stayed on

3. The car started

4. It’s payday

So right away, I’m having a successful day, by any measure.
