Long Weekend...(09/20/2013).....

Wow I haven't been exactly prolific in my writings lately, have I? Rhetorical question by the way. LOL. It seems the only time I have been sitting in front of the PC lately is to keep up with my Nationals online and to play Words With Friends until I get so effing annoyed by the stupid ads that I used to be able to mute but can't mute anymore and hear repeatedly. I don't effing need breath strips for my dog. I don't have a dog! I've got cats and cats have good breath it seems so breath strips are effing useless. LOL.

The blog title says long weekend as I have this coming Monday off as I am off to Sevierville, TN on Sunday to see and hear live in concert The Marshall Tucker Band, .38 Special and Foreigner. It will be an awesome show! I have seen the latter two bands live in the last 3-4 years and I know I will be bopping to songs that I have been listening to since I had lots of hair on my head. Yes that long ago. LOL. I can't wait! Hopefully my phone will be charged and I can take some decent pics from the show. I messed up by leaving my phone in the car a week or so ago when I went to see The National in Asheville which was an excellent show. I've enjoyed the shows I have seen this summer. Started off with Third Eye Blind then Darius Rucker then Chicago then Heart then Sheryl Crow then the Beach Boys the Mumford & Sons and then The National. Pretty darn cool!

In fact I have tons of long weekends coming. I booked about 11 days off over the next eight weeks or so just to get to my carry-over for 2014. I didn't plan my vacation time real well this year. Well I started off well with the Sanibel trip in early July but the nearly $2000 "Jynx Get Well" vet bill kind of screwed up some plans between having to take care of her and that money that was destined for a second Sanibel trip. Nevertheless Jynx is well and purring up and sneezing up a storm so all is well in Schlewingstan.

Anyways back to the present. I opened a bottle of "Menage A Trois" I picked up earlier tonight on my red wine and salsa run at Costco and I am typing away as I listen to the musical stylings of Mark Knopfler, Meat Loaf, Powderfinger, Bear's Den and Sinead O'Connor. Nats are up 7-0 nothing and the Tribe are up 2-1. Reds are losing (good) and now we need the Rangers to be down as well or perhaps the Rays pitching can falter letting the Orioles back into the game. Less than 10 games left in the season. H told me last night that I need to get the hockey package on our cable programming. H is a Habs fan. That is so cool! It took 19 years but the Prodigal Son has allowed his Canadian DNA to prevail. I really need to upgrade the sound on that flat screen I have in the living room. It is kind of tinny and brutal! I just don't watch enough TV to give a whit....

I will finish this in the morning...H is home and he wants to chat...
