Today A Tradition Ends

Today I will be attending the final game for the South H.S. Wildcats. Next Fall, North High School, and South High School, will merge into one large school. Today both teams will meet to play their final game as North and South! It is a sad day! For over 60 years the Wildcat tradition has been proud and strong, an inner city school, striking fear into the hearts and souls of every opponent they faced. Today the tradition comes to an end! I am proud to say both of my sons attended South High School, and had the honor of being a Wildcat! I know change is inevitable, but Tradition has it’s place, I am glad we were a small part of that tradition! Go Wildcats!

I Am Such A Man!


After work I met Michelle and a couple of her friends at a local pub, and am I glad I did! Seems it was their annual Halloween Party, all the servers were dressed up! A 46 year old guys dream! Let’s see, there was a Policewoman, with handcuffs, a Nurse, a Kitty cat, a Devil, and a Brittany Spears look a like. If I say anymore I may be back on the couch, and lately, I have been a good boy!

Friday Ramblings

Happy Friday! Tonight is the first Friday in 8 weeks that we have no football game to attend. The last game of the season is tomorrow; kickoff at 2 p.m. Ethan will view from the sidelines due to his torn ligaments.

Beggars Night is on Saturday, we live on a main road but have very few beggars. I used to score big on Beggars Night!

Business has been good this week, I have a delivery this morning. I am not working on Saturday, tailgate party begins at noon!

Michelle is really sad this morning. She didn’t sleep well as she thought of her friend’s death.

Hope you have a great day, and Scarlet, I hope you get paid!

I Am Starving!


It is 5:40 p.m. and I am starving! I typically eat breakfast, have a light lunch around noon, and a banana and apple, later in the afternoon. Today was no different, yet I am famished. I have gone through my fridge at work; Nothing! Looked through my desk drawers; Nothing! I will never make it till close!

She Will Never Know


Not a great deal happening outside the normal routine. No real drama. Not that I am complaining, I prefer it this way. Tonight I plan to spend a quiet evening at home, have a nice meal and simply hangout. Michelle will be gone, so I may pull out a big cigar and grab my newest biker magazine, and waste a couple hours. She will never know!

Ramblings

Hi everyone hope you had a decent day! The Slark tribe just finished watching “House” and have now gone our separate ways (nice while it lasted!).

In recent days real life has kept me busy and mentally fatigued, so I haven’t written much. As the weather becomes colder, I tend to write a little more. I have been tagged by a few folks and haven’t had a chance to engage. Don’t be offended, my lack of attention has no bearing on your importance.

Business has been steady this week and I have about 7 days to pull out some kind of a month. Wish me luck!

Have you ever felt like God has forgotten your name?
