:D - can't remember the last time I weighed myself but somehow I've lost another 4lbs only 16 more until I'm in the healthy range but I'd rather loose 20 hopefully :roll:


:( - I really want to play my video games but for some odd reason I can't seem to bring myself to do it with my room a mess and I can't really fix that until I get a new shelf and possibly a few new bins for storing the controllers that I saw at work in a few weeks.

Also forgot to call the place back about getting my car maintenance done(now only 323 I must have misheard them or something) so really hoping that somehow friday hasn't filled up so I can get it done...

Smile: I've been tasked with the responsibility of finding "family friendly" comedians for a Cancer fundraising event. Reallycool stuff, and I'm always up for volunteering. Plus, I get to host.

Most of my comedian buddies are far from NC, but the event is being hosted at a ballroom with a theater screen, so they can perform via skype, projected on a big screen.

I think it could work quite well.

Good thing the coordinator of the event called me. She wanted a few comics, with twenty minute sets. That's not the way things work. Ya need to get dozens of comics doing five minute sets to keep a flow of (hopefully) funny.

Now! Time to clean up some up some of my best material and figure a way to connect to a different audience. Something tells me if I say "gesticulate" most people won't know what the freak I'm talking about.

what i'm trying to say is it sounds like you're going to need both. do red bull if you're on an empty stomach, if you've eaten, do coffee.

:( Got dehydrated this morning while working, and ended up laying around on the couch unproductively the rest of the day. It would have been fine, but I've never been that bad before, I wasn't out long, and the work wasn't that hard. I don't know what did it, guess I just didn't have enough water in me before I went out to work. That screwy vision right when I stopped tipped me off, so I quit for the rest of the day.

Still haven't got rid of the headache.

Smile: I know I've not posted in awhile about Moira, progress has been slow post transplant, but last time she got her chimerism tested she had gone up to 37% donor, which is great as it seemed like it was stalled prior to that. We're going out of state for the first time this upcoming weekend, so please have us in your thoughts that all goes well whilst we're away.

Stark, GREAT NEWS BUDDY!

Thoughts will always be with you and your family. Moria looks like she is in good spirits too. Please keep us updated.


My Grandma is moving into an assisted living home today. Her best friend growing up was Al Capone's niece, seriously I'm not kidding, so I'm thinking Bingo is about to get serious.

Kidding aside, what made me smile today was thinking about how well taken care of my Grandma will be, and how she'll have company again. That, and her stories of Uncle Al.

My Grandmother's Father was with the Chicago Police, and her best friend's Uncle was one of the most notorious gangsters of all time. Grandma saw Al several times as, well, payoffs.

"Al would come in like Santa Claus with a big bag over his shoulder", no doubt a bag full of cash to keep cops mouths closed.

Can't wait to visit her.
