Celebration of days

I went looking for a days alive calculator today… and found an interesting poem I felt like putting up here…



We can count up to ten, we can count to a hundred

and these are two numbers that we understand

And we can take one, multiply by the other,

and in this way get ourselves up to a grand

So don’t let too many days spin off uncounted

This year thing is nonsense, a terrible trap

We hope that each one of your days will be happy

except that there’s bound to be some filled with crap



from The Amazing Days Alive Calculator results page.

(I had trouble getting it to work, and had to reload it several times to get the results or to even show up)

Booty Call

Thanks to Walzer for enlightening me on the science of the lost art of Booty Calling. Hope you are having fun back in college Wiggidy. Looks like you are not letting the “trees get in the way of the forest” your second time around.

Heart update

I talked to the doctor yesterday and he said everything was fine. I had an EKG done and it didn’t show anything except for a sinus arrhythmia, which is not a big deal. Similar to the fingerprint of the heart, everyone one has different characteristics.

He said I do not have heart disease, and as long as the “flub flub” that I have been feeling when I lay down is only during resting periods that it is ok… it would be much more troubleing if it happend while playing soccer or running. He said I could stand to lose a few pounds (who can’t), but I plan on trying even harder, I am down 10 pounds since the beginning of the year.

He also stated that I am not doing anything wrong, and that staying away from cigarettes is important.

Just Another Day

Everything went great last night. Had 9 people at Sherry’s birthday celebration. She racked up. I never get that many presents. But anyway… several people said it looked like a pottery barn advertisement, which it basically was, since we hadn’t really had a chance to use all of our stuff since the wedding. Bells was well behaved and only two people had to leave because of cat allergies. Who know so many people were allergic!??!

Happy Birthday

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my lovely wife and my wonderful mother. (Kinda weird that they have the same birthday, and I am sure that Freud could have a field day with it, but I don’t like to get into that). Mom and Don just got back from a pilgrimage out west with their good friends. Sherry and I hope to take a trip with them soon. Funny how things change, in high school, those thoughts would never have entered my mind. But now I find myself missing family and wanting to spend more and more time with them.

We are going to have some friends over for dinner tonight to celebrate Sherry’s birth a quarter century ago.

Nevermind

Looks like poor planning and lack of technology has bitten us in the ass. Since I wasn’t able to confirm our plans to go to the river house until last night at 11 pm none of the friends can make it. I should have just been confident that it was going to happen in the first place, and not been so wishy-washy. So we are going to the mall instead, it is what girls and gay boys want anyway.

Birthday party – river house syle

We are going to my parent’s river house tommorrow with some friends to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It is quite a relaxing place and I am looking forward to it. She received the stationary from Mom and Don, and the yoga top from Sarah and Heidi. Still waiting on presents from Leigh and Mandy 😉

Have a heart

I tried to go to the doctor today, since I have a family history of weak hearts, and I have been feeling wierd when laying down at night to sleep. I was diagnosed a year ago with IRRRB (Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block), which is by it self no big deal, but need to keep an eye on it, since both of beebe3 and beebe2 died from heart attacks.

Stupid me had scheduled an appointment with the wrong doctor so I had to go find the doctor by going to his office and talking to the receptionist to get an appointment. So I am going to a cardiologist on Monday and my primary doctor on Tuesday, just for a check up.

Can’t beat 5 beers for $5

Ok… so we are going the Ale House tonight. It is sort of a Thursday tradition. Last time we were there the bartender told us that no Ale House employee is allowed to drink at any Ale House even after hours due to some employee in Tampa getting drunk and shooting himself when he got home. Do you think he would have not shot himself if he had not gotten drunk at an Ale House?
