OK, maybe it does look a little ominous. So this week is detox week (already got my first decaf coffee on the way home from the doctors office), and next week is "Battery of Tests Week." All the invasiveness, forced nudity, and prescription drug intoxication of (I guess) frat pledge week, but no hot co-eds. Oh well.
It was a great game to watch, despite the fact that I had to watch it in the room with my sleeping 89-year old grandmother, so I couldn't bounce around, jump, yell, or even cheer. Oh well. At least I got to watch it in HD!!!!!! Wooo hooo bitches! Chris Long (UVA) is a BEAST,
and as such, Va Tech double teamed him and ran to the opposite side of the field...........which STILL netted Long something like 3 sacks, 10 tackles, and 1 forced fumble. BEAST!
Honestly that's all I can think of for the moment. Family times have been pretty friggin hilarious, but not bad at all - wish my brothers were here. Brother A has his hands full of 2 sets of parents down in VA, while Brother T is waiting to clear customs on his ship out of New Orleans....he heads for El Salvador and then Guatemala. Here is the huge ass ship he is on:
Back to family fun for awhile! In the words of Rick James, "It's a Celebration, Bitches!"
While we are up there, Amy and I expect to get a full dose of "Crazy Swiss Grandma." Topics for discussion will include:
1) "Where are my gold lamps from that cruise to Korea?"
2) "Who wants herring?"
3) "Where is your father?"
On another note, a whole barrage of friends from Baltimore will also be in Queens visiting crazy old grandparents so we'll just make it..........uggh.......we'll all make the best of it. The advanced screenings of the Joe Strummer biopic "The Future is Unwritten" are still going on in Manhattan so we are definitely going to see that. Amy talked to the film promoter and found out that it still hasn't been picked up by a distributor....weird...
I'll let you know how the movie is and we'll send some "hilarious" updates from the family fun. I hope everybody has a long, relaxing weekend. Except the UVA football team, who I hope get their asses worn out by Virginia Tech.
Milkweed. Our yard. Baltimore.
Then again, much of traditional oral blues & bluegrass is prison music. But there - prison is open 12 months a year....so again, why fall? This is getting tedious.
On a more pointless but entertaining note, looking forward to one of the last real weeks of college football.....which will be followed by another 8 months of ignoring the TV! This week, the ol' Hokies take on the Gay Swordsmen, err, Cavaliers, of UVA. Should be a great game!
Beer and football and friends later. Work tomorrow. Clouds and wind this morning.
