The 4th of July is here!

One of the best holidays is the 4th of July. I like to spend the day cooking up the hamburgers and hotdogs in the backyard with the family. It’s always a great day and I really enjoy spending time with the kids. The best part is that it’s topped off with fireworks at night!

I love to see the big show and we go every year. I never tire of seeing the big displays and loud bangs. I am looking forward to celebrating our countries independence with my family and friends. I hope I’ll be able to see some of you at the big show!!

Movie Night

Something about Saturday night just demands going to the movies.Movies are still a great date activity, they are still fun after you get married, and sometimes the right movie is perfect for a boys night out or a girls night out.

This weekend has a couple of interesting titles playing at the multiplex near my house. But I’m really looking forward to the new Star Wars movie coming out this month. Right after that is the new Terminator movie.

From what I hear, this summer will have a whole batch of blockbuster hits. Soif you are a movie fan, I’ll see you at the movies.

Another Rainey Weekend

It really stinks to work hard all week and look forward to a big weekend full of plans for outdoor fun and then have it all ruined by two days of rain.

Every weekend in May and the rest of the summer months ahead has a variety of fun things to do outside, from fishing to races and tons of festivals and sporting events.

Yesterday I had to stay in and got a lot of chores done instead of having fun. I was hoping to go to a baseball game this afternoon, but thunder and lightning will keep me indoors instead. I guess I’ll do some paperwork and surf the internet for a while, then break out a good book and read for a few hours.

It’s Finally Happened

Our office has many fund raising events from time to time. I am always the sucker they come to first. Everyone knows my weakness for gambling and I’ve bought into almost every scheme they come up with. I am happy to announce that after many years and dollars, I’ve finally won something. I won two tickets to a baseball game. The only thing I can say is it’s about time!!

Each year I play all the office lotteries. I played the football pools and the draws. I have never had any luck to date. I’m glad to have been the one to win these tickets. The bad part is that they now know I will play everything from now on. I guess it doesn’t really matter, after all everything is for a good cause.

Robots Rock

r2d2

Robots are here to stay, but we don’t have much use for personal robots yet. I would really like to have an R2D2 robot and a C3PO to help me out.There are a lot of things I could have a robot do for me that I would rather not have to handle myself.

I guess the closest thing to a personal robot is the Roomba vacuum cleaner. My sister has one and loves it. It cleans the floors by itself and does great on everything except stairs.

Embracing a Bald Head

My hair will grow back and I have no intentions of staying bald. In fact, it kinda freaks me out to see my bald head in the mirror when I walk into the bathroom. But some guys have embraced being bald – especially the aging rock stars and guys who want to use their heads as a social statement.

Candy or Roses?

How about both! I bought two dozen red roses from the flower shop by my mom’s store and had them in a vase, waiting for my Bailey girl first thing this morning. Then at lunch time I sent a big box of chocolate dipped strawberries to her office. After work, we went to Outback Steakhouse for a delicious dinner. It was strange to go to Outback by ourselves – usually we go with a bunch of our friends. But tonight was about our special time together. The friends can have dinner with us another night!

We just got home and had to take care of the dogs and a couple of chores, but our night is not over, yet!

Thank You, Baby!

Yesterday was my birthday. Not a big landmark birthday, but a great birthday for me!

My babydoll, Bailey, had a very special night planned for me last night. I showed up after work and she took charge of the whole evening – dedicated to my pleasure.She thought of everything, right down to the cheesecake with strawberries and whipped cream.

It was an awesome birthday, thank you babydoll.

Steelers Edge by the Cardinals

The Super Bowl was a lot closer than any of the experts were predicting. The last I heard, the official line was giving the Cardinals 6 and a half points in a loss. But the Cardinals surprised everyone by springing ahead at the end of the 4th quarter and almost winning the game. If it wasn’t for cool heads on the part of the Steelers quarterback and coaching team and a little luck, the Cardinals might have indeed won. But the Steelers dug deep and found a way to make the last two plays count when they needed them most. If was just a toe tap away from victory, but the Steelers won their 6th Super Bowl game – an outstanding achievement by any measure.

Way to go, Pittsburgh!

Cold Fusion

The only thing I knew about the term “cold fusion” was the use of it in a movie from like 10 years ago with Val Kilmer. It was called, “The Saint” and the cold fusion was something that scientists were trying to create to give the world a free, unlimited energy source. Of course, the bad guys wanted to steal it and the hero saved the day.

In today’s world, cold fusion is a type of programming and it’s becoming very popular. I think it is worth looking into taking a couple of classes and adding that expertise to my resume.
