Do you get a free bowl of soup with that hat ?

That's me on Bourbon Street, in front of the Cat's Meow, drinking one of the 200 beers I had on my trip to New Orleans. No idea why that kid has a bunch of condoms sticking out of his head... whatever? I think I'll need to detox for a few days when this trip is over..ha ha !

14 Hours in a Bar

Great day yesterday spent approx 14 hours in The Corner Oyster Bar in New Orleans drinking beers and watching football. Thats a lie, actually we left for a few hours, went to another bar, and then came back for night game.


Ben Kaminski, Ray Vargo and me

Tomorrow is PayDay

Yanks lost again :( Joe Torre poorly managed the game. His fault.

Saw this clip on the web ... it seems the Iraqies feel they are being treated unfairly by the Americans.

Here's a random thought: Anybody ever wonder how Brandy became famous? Where is her talent? She must have a great PR machine behind her. They should put her face up for all the American Idol contestants to see. If she can make it...anyone can. Her eyes are way too far apart. She is like a darker version of Tori Spelling. Every time I see either of them I think of the movie "Men in Black". They must be aliens.

Here in Northeast Pennsylvania it is offically autumn. Of course for those of us living at Newton Lake we already knew that because the leaves have been turning colors for the past 3 weeks.


I read where the Bush and Kerry camps have agreed to debate. These are such a waste. Everything is so scripted, its ridiculous.

Hey It's Hump Day ... just not for me

Hope everyone is enjoying their week. I realize how difficult that can be considering the troubled times we live in. Is anyone safe ? I just read where Organizers Fear Terrorist Attacks On Upcoming Al-Qaeda Convention



If the terrorists aren't safe from terrorism...who is ?

I also recently watched a news story where it shows how the family's of suicide bombers set up these shrines to honor them. They make heros out of them. Anyone think this is a good idea? When someone becomes a suicide bomber we should take that persons family, mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts,uncles and cousins and execute them. Start doing that and you'll see a sudden decline in those volunteering to be suicide bombers.

On a lighter note... Still laughing to myself about the season premier of Everybody Loves Raymond... very funny.

Anyone want to start a pool to see how long Britney Spears marriage will last ? I say 22 months.

The Next Day

Nothing exciting to report today. Yanks lost last night ...has me bummed. Last day of summer. So we offically start the never ending winter of NEPA. :(

Saw another American was beheaded in Iraq. I'm sorry for his family but he never should have been over there in the first place. It's a shame when Americans have to go to Iraq to get good paying jobs. I find this ironic because I read recently where Tom Ridge may resign his post as the Head of Homeland Security so he can make more money in the private sector to comfortably put his kids through college. It's a shame he can't afford to send them on his $175,000/year salary. Maybe he can find a good paying job in Iraq.

In other news I'm going to New Orleans next week ... looking forward to the trip ... not the flight however.

Day 13067 of my existence

First time I've ever done this so bear with me. I see that John Kerry and George Bush have blogs so if those old farts can have them...so can I. BTW... I hate Mondays :(

These two make me smile no matter what day it is.



Happy 1st Anniversary to Ed and Sarah Lupyak They sent us a photo of the snow at their house yesterday in Truckee, CA. WAY TO EARLY FOR THAT CRAP !!

Yanks took 2 of 3 from the Red Sox over the weekend... GOTTA LUV IT :)
