That’s right, that’s how many comments I have in the past 2 months and less than 20 are from you! Yes you, those that we know, where the hell are you? Seems we’re much more popular with the Japanese than our own family.
Anyhow, assuming you are still reading these days, yesterday we mostly laid around trying to kick these colds. That’s it, there you have it, that’s all I got, zip, nada, nothing,
God Bless
Our colds or whatever they are, are still hanging on. The only good news is that hopefully we’re getting our bout with the flu or whatever you call this, out of the way now rather than later. Going to the game and getting virtually no sleep didn’t help me but it was worth it!
Jen came home after school with Jag and was here until around 6pm. She spent the past two days after school with us as her Mom was working. Meanwhile Ty went to a friends house to play, of course.
Today we’ll take it easy, we might run out to the new Cabela’s as we have not been there yet and they sent us a coupon that expires tomorrow. Jag has a baseball game tomorrow at 5pm and we’re hoping it’ll be a little cooler at that time. We’re breaking records day after day and today is no different. It’s been between 95 and 100 degrees every day for sometime now. Next week it’s supposed to drop 20 degrees and rain for a few days which will be nice.
Next week we’re having new garage doors installed, finally. We’re slowly making progress around here as our patio was finished yesterday, we have our new microwave in, garage doors next week, new shutters on the way and then I think the back patio is next. After that, carpet in the basement and then who knows what. We have to seal up some of the cracks around the doors before winter hits as the Farmer’s Almanac says it’ll be bitter cold this year. Money and more money is all it takes, if anyone has any extra, send it on over!
That’s it, no politics as I’m just tired of it. Take care and God Bless.
Yesterday was consumed by getting ready and amped up for the game. Nothing else really mattered. Finally we arrived at the stadium by 5:15 but were missing one guy (Chip) who was still on a plane. Luckily he made it to his seat just in time for the scheduled kickoff and then the wait began. Seems there was lightening in the area but all we saw, and felt, was rain. 20 minutes later the game started. It rained most of the first half before it stopped and then we blew the game open. You should have been there, it was one for the ages. We made it home around 11:15 and watched highlights until midnight reliving one of the sweetest games ever.
Today though, it’s back to work. It’s 6:30 now and I’m off to the airport now to take the boys so they can catch their plane back to Seattle. Perhaps the misses will write some more when she wakes up. God Bless.
It’s here and I’ve been waiting something like 225 days for tonight, our chance for revenge. I remember staying up until 3am in Italy watching the Ravens squeak out a cheap impossible win against our beloved Denver Broncos. God just had something else in mind for me and them that day as there is no way we should have lost. Sure hope he’s on our side tonight.

Enjoy the game, wish I was there! You will be better by then, make yourself a real strong cocktail, that always works – hehe! I am already searching around to get my flu shot. I want a free one, got won last year but I bet it cost the $30.00 I saved on the shot while I was driving around looking for one. Oh well, I didn’t get sick. GO BRONCOS!!!!!
I took some cold medicine last night and feel a bit better as I’m in the coughing up stuff stage right now. I have a huge ganglion cyst on my foot that I’m going to try to get lanced this morning. I’ve had them before, they’re just big bumps filled with fluid from trauma which happens to me when I lift too much weight at the gym. Apparently heavy weights puts too much stress on my left foot. It doesn’t help that I usually put all my weight on my left foot to protect my knee. I also had a physical the other day and am happy to report my blood pressure is below normal and so is my cholesterol so the doc even took me off lipitor. I never wanted to take that stuff in the first place and according to the new doc, he’s not sure I ever needed it. Good riddance to my PA (physicians assistant) who has been our so called doctor for 10 years or so. I figured out that everything the misses and I were prescribed were things he was on! Anyhow in short, I appear to be pretty darn healthy.
Now to Obomber, did anyone see him saying yesterday when asked by a reporter about when he said “our red line is if Syria uses chemical weapons”. Well he had the balls to say “it’s not my red line, it’s the World and Congress’s red line” or in other words, he said he never said what he said. I don’t know why I’m surprised, he does this all the time, says something and then when it doesn’t work out, says he didn’t say it, unbelievable. Personally this time I agree with Sarah Palin, “let Allah work it out”. The problem here is we could be setting off a firestorm. What if Russia and/or Iran come to Syria’s aid and escalate this whole thing? I too am appalled by the use of chemical weapons but this guys killed over 100,000 people in the past 2 years! So the question is why now? We can’t get involved in every single conflict in this crazy World. Syria has no direct affect on us at all. Where is Britain or all the other countries? How come we have to go alone? It’s because Obomber shot off his big mouth and now wants to save face. Wow, the World might go to war, like WWIII because he spoke without thinking. Hold on to your hats, this could get ugly.
A lady at the misses work who is a PHD is planning on moving to Scotland in January. She says she’s through watching our rights slowly being stripped away. Now we’re not planning on moving to Scotland (but we do want to visit!) but we’d love to get up to the mountains. Wild times we live in.
Today Josh and Chip fly in for the game. We’re all excited to go tonight. Tickets are going for $1300 and up from scalpers, wow! So time to run to see if I can get my foot taken care of. Take care, wear orange, cheer for the Broncos and God Bless.
We might just have the flu so stay away! I too am on antibiotics now but not feeling a whole lot better. On top of that, I have the big game tomorrow and will be going no matter how I feel. Jag and I are going with Josh and Chip who are flying in from Seattle plus it’s the kickoff of the NFL 2014 season so no way I’ll be missing it. I hope these antibiotics do their thing fast!
Both boys are still coughing up junk as well and the misses seems to have the worst of it. She was at the office for a few hours and I lived on the phone for most all of the day. The boys each went to their math coach after school to stay ahead of the game and then rode their bikes for a bit before heading to bed around 8pm. I did manage to go shopping and vacuum but that was it.
Hope everyone is well, take care, get your flu shot and wash your hands, a bunch! God Bless.
Tuesday is Monday or Monday is Tuesday, however you look at it, it’s a short week. Last night we met some friends from Aspen for dinner at Benihana for a quick bite before arriving home around 7pm. The misses is still hurting as is the rest of the household. Hopefully we’ll all be better soon.
The boys walked with Mom to school this morning while I drove down 10 minutes behind them with their backpacks and to pick up the misses. Today she’s at the office at 11am for a few hours while I have 5 consecutive conference calls that start at 11am. I should be done by 4pm. Lucky I have speaker phone!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and is doing well, time to run, take care and have a good week. God Bless.
What fun, we’re all still fighting our colds but somehow the boys just ignore it. They must not have it quite as bad as the misses and I. In fact, I think the misses has the worst of it. When she’s in bed for most of the day, you know she’s not doing well. Hopefully this morning she’ll be a little better.
The boys went to spend the night at Ben’s last night until a bit after 11pm when we received a call for them to come home. We all forgot that Jag is allergic to their cats and so both kids walked across the street sometime between 11 and midnight. I heard the phone call but the misses was the one that got up.
Lacey is in the crate right now as she has been barking for an hour or so for me to get up so she can eat. It’s one thing if she wants to go out but when she’s just barking to eat, I’m not going to feed or reward her bad behavior.
Not sure what all is going on today, it’s supposed to rain a bit which will be nice. I need to finish cleaning up my office a bit as I have a busy couple of weeks.
That’s it, time to run, happy Labor Day.
Well the misses and I both have the boys colds. We always seem to get it worse than they do, our throats are more sore and it takes us a bit longer to recover. Here’s a comment,
Annette says:
Going to Serena’s and Matt’s today with Aunt Jean. We will have lunch and get cupcakes and lemon curd. Yum! Thats about it. I have 3 new books and maybe we will get in a movie. We saw Blue Jasmin (Woody Allen movie) it was interesting (Doug would hate it.) Go see We’re The Millers it’s really funny, but no kids it’s rated R.
You’re probably right as I’m not a big Woody Allen fan, never have been, except for the movie Sleeper which was filmed here at the space house (that’s what we call it) when I was in high school.
The boys played hard and Ben the neighbor is still with us as Ty wanted him to stay while his family went to Leadville for the night. Ben wanted to stay too as he says Leadville isn’t that much fun.
They all helped our handyman lay bricks like it was a giant puzzle. Hopefully we’ll be all done by next Wednesday when he comes back.
Today we’ll take it easy around here and watch some football. Hope everyone is well, take care and God Bless.
Last night we kicked off the weekend with 3 boys sleeping over. Scott and Ben joined Mister Ty for a night of partying, movies and video games. Looks like we’re bagging the party in Vail tomorrow night and will just chill. We hope that our handyman will get our patio done this weekend, he was M.I.A. the past two days. Uncle Tommy and I were talking the other day about how damn slow he is, oh well, it’ll get done before it snows, hopefully.
This morning the misses and Carrie are going to some girls house to look at decorations for the school dance and then she’s off to meet Dr. Rodgers for a meeting at 10am as Chris is in surgery during the week. Meanwhile I’ll take the boys up to Genesse where I need to drop of some wine for my friend who’s on the way up to Aspen and needs a case for some party.
That’s about it, let us know what you’re doing this weekend. In any case, have fun and God Bless.
Another week is gone, they seem to go faster the older you get. Up next is the 3 day holiday weekend. We’re supposed to go to the annual party in Lake Creek up by Vail this Sunday, but we might just pass and take it easy. We’ve been on the go almost every weekend and it’d be nice to just hang out and do nothing.
It’s been hot, really hot, and will be between 95 and 98 degrees again today. Not to worry though, it’ll be snowing before we know it. Sweet Lori (sounds like a drink) is getting ready to go to school to volunteer at the Book Fair this morning. Our handyman is still working on our patio. When he’s done with this, I think we’ll need to look for someone else as he’s just too slow.
We were just watching President Bush and Lee Trevino on tv at a Freedom Golf Tournament. The newscaster was trying to get the former President to weigh in on Syria and the current President but he refused to do so. He even said “I know you’re trying to get me to talk about the events of the day and what the President should do and I’m not going to do it” and then followed it up with a very gracious “he has a tough tough decision”. Now say what you will about George Bush but he has been the classiest former President we’ve ever seen. Think about it, you have Clinton stumping for this and that and when his wife runs, we’ll really see him all the time. Next up is Carter, who is an overblown windbag who will still go down in history as one of the worst Presidents ever. And then there’s the Bush’s. Both are the epitome of class as neither of them have ever once said one bad or negative word about the current President, even when for more than 5 freakin years now, Obama continues to reference and blame George Bush or in his words “the former President or administration” Â for one thing after another. Wow, let history be the judge, but one thing is a fact, right now he’s much closer to Carter than he is to Reagan, that’s for sure! How about this, they even snubbed him at the Martin Luther King celebration the other day. They had Obama, Clinton and Carter but didn’t invite President Bush. They should be ashamed of themselves. If I was President or a former President, I would have refused to be part of it unless they invited Pres. Bush as well, what a joke.
Oh well, hold on to your hats and let’s see what happens this weekend. We’re at the point where if he attacks Syria, it’ll only be to save face. The British and Germans have backed out so now he’s all alone and there’s only a 9% approval rating for an attack among the American people. He even has democrats, along with republicans, telling him not to do it, plus, according the the constitution, he needs to have the approval of Congress which of course he sluffs off saying no he doesn’t. Strange times we live in.
That’s it, time to run, take care and God Bless you and God Bless the U.S.A.
