Posting Weekly. . . Very Weakly!

A week between posts?? That’s right A Week between posts. I just can get it together.

So what keeps Deathlok of the post? It’s time for A WEEK IN REVIEW:

1. Firstly, it’s that dreaded time of the year. . . . .Lent! Why Dreaded? Because it amazes me that everyone gets bent out of shape that I observe Lent. I don’t push Lent on anyone. It’s a personal discipline. Although it would be great if they played King Crimson’s Discipline at Church during Lent. You might see Grimjack there. And as I’ve been asked repeatedly. . .No! I don’t think that God cares if I give up coffee or not. It’s a discipline. You know, that thing that most kids today lack. The past few years I have given up the elevator at work and coffee. This year, I am still taking the stairs, but to try something new, I decided to keep with the coffee and do something that I thought would be easy. . . . spend ½ hour a day reading the Bible. It’s really hard. I have comics to read, blogs to post, piano to abuse. . . . . It’s been interesting though. Despite having heard the Bible for 43 years, I actually learned a few things. Now I must devote my Blog to convert the Great Unwashed. . . . .Hey! where did everybody go?

2. Last week, I went from ill to Washington. I spent two weekends ago, in bed. . .all weekend. I did watch a lot of TV. . . No, not Transvestites. Discovery channel’s Dirty Jobs is a great show. Check it out! Monday, I had my hacking, sore-ribbed (it’s better with ribs), self taken to Washington for a meeting. Monday night, I lay in the hotel room watching sitcoms because, we were taping 24 (That’s right! We watch our shows together! More on that later). Didn’t sitcoms used to be funny? Other than an amusing 2 and a half men, I hurt my scalp scratching it wondering how this dreck gets the approval to be aired. I would double viewership by posting the email traffic from the FHL. No Lie. Of course, this past weekend was my turn to take care of my wife as she caught what I had. I was smart enough to sleep elsewhere during her coughie weekend.

3. It’s the holiday season and that means that I have been trying to learn Danny Boy and other gems on the piano. My piano skills are sad. I’m gonna get that wrist look at yet.

4. Tuesday was our 14th Wedding Anniversary!! That’s right the same person has tolerated me for 14 years. I can hardly believe it. Remember I have Temerity AND I’m High Maintenance. Maybe waiting to watch our shows together has something to do with it. We went to dinner and our waitress was a really cute redhead. God Smiles Sometimes.

The FORECAST – Deathlok Alert!! I’ve been drafted again. Yes, this Sunday is the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day Parade. My wife’s dance troupe will be in it again . . .going for a repeat win. I was told that I was volunteered to carry the banner again (that’s why they won!) My daughter, Erin, has been pressed into “standby” service in case of a no show. Reilly has been given the dubious distinction of being St. Patrick. So the gangs all represented. So tune in and set that TIVO. Crossroads is going to another victory!!
