Back to work I go...

Well, it has been a long weekend. We celebrated Kelley's birthday and had a few people over to watch the city's fireworks. It was so good to just relax, not fight the crowds and be able to watch the fireworks from your own home. We also could see fireworks going off from all over the town from our house.
But, all good things must come to an end. Gotta go back to work in the morning. Back to the old grind.

Happy Birthday Kelley!

July 4th is not only the birthdate of our nation, it is also my wife's birthday. Happy Birthday Kelley!!! I love you. I hope you had a great birthday Kelley. I know I enjoyed celebrating it with you. I pray for many more to come.

Found this to be amusing...

I found this picture to be amusing. I doubt if gas ever goes down again. Just thought I would share this with everyone. Every now and then you just have to laugh.

P.S. I just want to give a shout out to my brother Mark. Happy Birthday you filthy animal.

Cardinals win in Thriller!!!

What a game last night. After losing a lead to the Mets, Troy Glaus came to the plate and delivered a solo shot on a 3-2 count with two outs in the ninth. The homerun was the seond of the night for Glaus giving the Cardinals an 8-7 walk-off victory over the Mets.
Can this be the Cardinals year again? It would make the world a better place.
One more game with the Mets tonight, and then bring on the Cubbies!!!

Maybe the wife does know best.

My wife bought me a new watch in Destin at the local outlet mall for Father's Day. It is a Timex Solar watch (not exactly like the one pictured). I had went in the shop earlier and looked over the selection. I mentioned I liked some of the solar digital and also the atomic watches that change the time for you. This can be very helpful when you change time zones.
I value my wife's opinion, so she went in to look over the collection to make a purchase. She came back with a solar watch that is both digital and analog. I do not know if I had a perplexed look on my face or what, but my wife said, "You don't like it, do you?" I assured her I did and that I just did not see that watch in the store. She told me she did not just get me a digital watch because that is a "lazy man's watch." She also did not buy me the atomic watch reminding me..."When do you ever go into another timezone?"
Today at work, I have had at least two compliments on my watch. You know it is a nice watch. I really do like it. My wife did me right. Note to self...Maybe I need to listen to her more often.

I have been told this is newsworthy or at least blogworthy...

Yesterday, I bought one of my Subway favorites - the Subway Club. I know, "eat fresh." Anyway, I strayed a little bit on my normal ingredients and added spicy mustard to the mix. My sandwich tasted great. I totally recommend adding this condiment to your sandwich choice.
Moral of this story...Branch out a little bit from the norm. Go where no man has ever gone before. Try something new for Pete's sake. You might just like it!

A phone with a mind of it's own!

Last night my wife said her phone was not working. She said none of the buttons would work on it. When I got up this morning, I heard the little jingle the phone does when you turn it on. When I looked at the phone, it looked like it was trying to access the web, so I turned it off.
So, now I am at work, and my wife calls me and says - "Guess what? Jennifer called me and said - "Are you ok? Because your phone called me about five times in the middle of the night!"
That is all we need. As if rate plans, and minutes aren't issues enough for us. We now have a phone making calls for us! Needless to say, my wife is off to the cellular store for answers.
Do you just want to toss that cell phone away sometime?
