As Advertised:  
New England - Through a preseason of off-field turbulence (Baby Brady, No-Show Moss, Hold-Out Samuel, PUP Seymour) the Patriots proved that there is no one better when the wins and losses count.  Brady(22-28-297-3) was able to sit back and slice up the Jets secondary with pinpoint throws to Moss (9-183-1) and Welker (6-64-1).  In ( Read more... )

Let's see...the NFL is back.  Was up until almost 4 last night watching the Saints get pulverised by the Colts, 41-10.  Still, it was fun to see everything again, all the hitting, passing, Madden, etc.  I love proper football too, but there's still an inborn visceral American rush seeing two good teams play American football.  Not sure if it's the ( Read more... )

Fixed the toilet today.  Very good moment.  Pulled it apart, reassembled it, and it works.  I know it's not much, but I am no DIY whiz.  So this is good.  Wifey was very impressed.  Sarcastically, but nonetheless...

Got the prospective tax bill in, due in January.  Not good.  Have to get lots of new clients or else go into penury.  Still, have half ( Read more... )

Karl Rove has resigned.  I feel slightly better.  Doesn't it say something when "Bush's Brain" resigns about 18 months before the end of his term??

Update on my life.  Well, let's see.  The house is almost done.  The yard is looking great.  We are walking fiarly regularly on the Healthy Heart walks around the house; only 1/2 mile or so, but it's a 1 ( Read more... )

So it's been 3 weeks or so since the last entry, and what an eventful time it's been!  We moved, slightly illegally, into a new house, which then became our legal house, and then we have spent 3 weeks tearing everything to bits and building it back up again all on my poor strained back, hence the headlne of this piece!  Actually, truth be told, ( Read more... )

Having a better day today getting my orgs knocked out, 6 down, maybe 6-8 more for the day and I will be all caught up with where I am supposed to be.  So that's good.

Haven't been sleeping well lately, as work creeps into my mind, but I am determined to get it done and get it out of the way so I can concentrate in June on getting it sold to at least ( Read more... )

In the words ofthe immortal one:
"I can feel my brain falling away like pieces of wet cake..."
Ran through 10 freaking organizations today...Going blind...

So today we went out and bought the fridge and the dishwasher for the new house...I think dropping a few hundred quid has sent Wifey a little catatonic, as she keeps wandering around saying "I really wasn't expecting to buy those today..."  In addition bought the wallpaper for the kitchen and have almost sorted out same for the office, which will ( Read more... )
