Hav ea good one.

Saturday is the best day of the week, ‘cuz I don’t have to work today, and I don’t have to work tomorrow. Now, if only I could manage to sleep in a little bit.

This day in history (well, my story).

In 1964, this was the day my family moved from Holden, West Virginia to Richmond, VA. For a while it looked like it was going to be Louisville, KY but something changed. I am now sorry it was not Louisville which seems to me a far better place though I have never been there.

Immediate damage – I had to miss my last ever Little League baseball game. I think this was intentional because I volunteered to be catcher in the previous game (spare you that story) and my mother was pissed that the manager let me do it.

That night I missed my favorite DJ Dick Biondi of WLS in Chicago was doing a dance party/sock hop kind of thing in Logan which was 4 miles away. I listened to his show every night on my Hitachi transistor radio that could suck in flamethrower AM stations from almost half of the country under my pillow.

Long term consequences – Small coal country town kid hits the ‘big’ city full of right wing backward cracker bigots. I never liked Richmond and still don’t. Too bad most of my remaining family still lives there.

I always wondered what would have happened if we had never left WVa. I probably would not be in California and probably a lawyer or a judge or in politics there. I do know if we had moved to Kentucky I would not have been a jockey.

Sorry I have nothing to look at. Seems I lost my video and photo powers. Here’s my grade school.

Hope that gets your day off to a rip-roaring start.

Julia the Spy

:cake:

:yawn:

Another one of those “not much to say” kinda mornings. Except I’m glad Farmerkat got out of Georgia before the Russians invaded.

Hard to believe it’s Wednesday again. Seem like just yesterday it was Tuesday. Before you know it, it’ll be Thursday.

So, I was a big chagrined to find out that John McCain is a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Dexter, and The Wire (and Cindy is a fan of Big Love; I bet there’s an interesting story there). I guess it just goes to show, every asshole has his good points (I’ll leave it up to you decide who’s the asshole – McCain or me).

It’s interesting to be spending all this time alone (as alone as you can be with two dogs playing biteface around you wherever you go; with all the growling, it’s like having Linda Blair from The Exorcist following you around – minus the pea soup). I haven’t had to say more than a few words to anybody since last week (my “roommate” at work has been on vacation, so I’m on my own there, too). Of course, I talk to myself and the dogs a lot. And the cats, too, but they don’t count, since they don’t really understand what I’m saying.

Mostly, I’m just trying to keep the dog out of the cookie jar (aka, litter box).

Oh well, whatever. Time to start getting ready to seek personal fulfillment through my career. Have a good one.

I really need to take a vacation. But I hate to take time off and do nothing; makes me feel like I’ve wasted the time off. But, what to do? In my younger days, I used to throw the tent, sleeping bag, and camping gear in the truck, pick a direction, and just drive. Made it down to Myrtle Beach one year, which would meet with Cokie Robert’s approval, and found myself at a Preakness Party in Maryland another year (I didn’t make it to the track, but I didn’t really care). Of course I’ve headed the other direction a bunch of times, too, and made my way to the Adirondacks and Canada, among other places.

Spent several summers down on the Jersey shore with a friend of mine, too. Even got to replace my starter in a campground one year (always travel with your tools; that’s my motto), only to have the fan belt break literally moments later (traction cord and duct tape got me about half way to a parts store; always have a spare set of belts; that became my second motto).

But that was long ago, and I really don’t think I’ve done much of anything (except what other people have wanted to do) in quite a few years. So, I’m open for suggestions. What’s something relatively cheap that a person can do on his own for a week or so? A person who aint a kid anymore, that is. Just the daydream alone might help get me through another Monday.

Thanks to the Olympics, you’ll have to figure out when Press the Meat is on in your area. If you actually take the time to bother with it, you’ll get to see Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in Beijing (there to beg the Chinese not to foreclose on our country, I suppose), plus David “Gilligan” Gregory will lead the roundtable on how John Edwards’ affair makes Obama look bad (an opinion shared by at least one of here, I suspect), while McCain’s affairs are his own private matter), with Dean David Broder, CNBC news wench Erin Burnett, the WaPost’s E.J. Dionne & WSJ whore Paul Gigot.

Faze the Nation has VA Gov Tim Kaine, and the Pillsbury Dough Nazi, Karl Rove.

At Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace hosts McCain campaign manager, Rick Davis, Obama campaign co-chairman Dick Durbin, and they’ll recycle past “Power Player” Amy Zantzinger, White House Social Secretary, who will tell us why we’re never invited to the White House parties. Then it’s a slightly different collection of Fuxheads as Jill Zuckman of The Chicago Tribune, Byron “the dork” York of The National Review, and Ruth Marcus of the WaPost join regular Fuxhead William Kristol.

At the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus has the week off, so ABC News douche Jake Tapper fills in, hosting VP hopefuls Bill Richardson and Bobby Jindal. Then, at the Roundtable, it’s the New York Times’ Matt Bai, former Pentagon spokesbitch Torie Clarke, Cokie “the hag” Roberts, and George :jerk: Will.

CNN’s Late Emission will have NY Mayor Mikey Bloomberg, PA Gov Ed Rendell, FL Gov Charlie “H” Crist, Carl Levin, crazy Texas redneck John “Barley” Cornyn, HUD Secretary Steve Preston (to tell us it’s a buyers market out there), and oilman who’se seen the light (or has he?) T. Boone “don’t call me Slim” Pickens.

Later, on 60 Minutes, tonight’s recycled stories include Bob Simon’s report singing the praises of the Israeli air force, Lara Logan’s report on Tennessee’s bloodthirsty desire to execute Gregory Thompson, and Lesley Stahl’s report on billionaire financier, corporate raider, and private equity investor, Carl Icahn.

Have a good Sunday.

Not much to say today (as usual). I think I might just go ahead and sleep until Monday. Except I should probably cut the grass.

Well, see ya.

This week sucked. Last week sucked more, though, so I guess things are headed in the right direction. Or they will be, at about 4:30 or so. Me and the boys are bach’ing it for the next week or so. I wonder if Eliot Spitzer can lend me his little black book (but I’ll be needing his little check book to go along with it).

Let’s get this over with already.
