Update!

Finishing up softball this weekend, save the Labor Day Tournament in Milwaukee.

Mikey and I are going to the lakes tonight to stroll around and then head home to hang for a while. Still have to actually 'get up' in the morning, but after softball I think a nap'll be in order.

I'm working on a new site for pictures. I'll have more info once I decide it's for me.

You all have a GREAT weekend and I'll talk to you later!

THANK YOU!

I just want to thank those people who came out to the Brass Rail to suport the Bad Puppies in our efforts to raise some much needed dough for our trip to Milwaukee!

We did well and I hope to pay for a chunk of everyone's room with it!

On a sad note, I was disappointed in our turn-out from the league. We had less than 15 softball players show and that was terribly disheartening. We swarmed to other fundraisers this year in hopes to draw people to ours and didn't get much in return. In their defense, we planned it on a weekend where there was no softball being played and that hurt us.

Anyway, thanks to:

The Brass Rail and especially Timmy, Stewart and Bob
Brad Palacek
Brad, Bradley and Mickee for throwing it all together and keeping it going
Steph and Rex for prizes and all their help
Tim and Sahara for their donation
King George for all the FABULOUS artwork
The rest of the Bad Puppies for all their hard work (including FUTURE Bad Puppies) :)
The Racers, Riders, PENETRATORS, Sterling, and other teams that made their presence known.

UPDATE: Thanks to CARLOS for grilling up a ba-zillion and a half brats on Sunday!! :-P

Psssst...

I'm not ignoring you, just trying to keep our flier at the top of the page. :)

Lifae has been pretty boring as of late and work is getting busier. That's about it. Oh, and Yuna is a strange dog. It's been confirmed. :D

PLEASE JOIN US!!

Heat Creates Dumb-shits...

Last night was a pretty warm night and fairly humid. It was cooler this morning when I woke up but the humidity was still there.

When I come to work in the morning, I park near Loring Park and walk thru the park to downtown. As I crossed the park I began to notice a theme.

All of the trash cans were knocked over. Not just one or two but every single one.

Some had trash strewn about, others were still contained and one was even emptied and turned upside down over the payphone in the park. The ones near the basketball court were emptied all over the court.

I felt awful for the group of people that tend to the park because they have A LOT of work to do and now they have to pick up after some idiot(s).

Sad thing is: they probably thought it was funny and will do it again.

First thing I heard at work today:

'I'm wearing ladies socks!'

Coming from a straight, kinda rough, straight man.

I got a good chuckle out of it and told him 'Maybe you should keep that between us!'

Last Night

I asked my Doctor for a sleep aid and I was prescribed Ambien. I took one arounf 9:30pm just so it'd be taking effect around 10 or 10:30pm so I could get a good night's sleep.

HOLY SHIT!

I logged on to my super-hero game for a bit and I was on a mission to defeat a lot of carnies (evil circus people). Anyway, during this mission I could feel the drug take effect. Within about 5 minutes, I felt like I had drank an ENTIRE bottle of vodka. The carnies were creepier, everything was distorted and I was trippin'!

It was a fun ride, but I was a little groggy this morning. I will have to take it a bit earlier tonight and see how it goes.

Btw, I loaded the up-north pics into my photo stream. I haven't figured out how to just present one. I'm working on that tho.

Yum!

We went out!

Mikey and I hit the Saloon with John on Sunday night. The circuit boys were out in full force after attending the the Saloon's Tea Dance. I really had a good time, but I hadn't eaten since Noon-ish so the drinks hit me pretty hard.

I even got to meet Jim and Dan in my pre-buzz state. It was nice to meet you guys!

Mikey and I danced the night away with friends and then headed home for some sleepy-sleep. I was POOPED and a little hung-over on Monday. I woke up around 9-ish, let the dogs out and then climbed back into bed and didn't fully regain conciousness until about 2pm.

Mikey and I played our game a bit, went to dinner at PF Chang's and then tried to shop at IKEA but they had closed early.

More later.

This Weekend.

YAY!!

I got to go up North!! Mikey and I spent Friday-Sunday up at the Lake with my family. WE went on pontoon rides, got sunburned, and ate WAY too much.

Yuna and Akima got their feet wet and Akima swims like a fish now. Yuna has some issues because her butt sinks. Not sure how to help her with that.

I'll post pics tonight and they'll be up in my photostream.
