Blogging on the Run....

I'm over at my good friend Rich's house watching my goddaughters, Adrienne and Susie. We're watching the newly released Sleeping Beauty and I must say that it is a work of beauty (no pun intended). It always has been a favorite, if nothing else for the big dragon at the end. :)

More silliness at work..

Because of today being the second anniversary of the attacks on America. (hold that thought, its too quiet ... ) The girls wanted me to blow up balloons, which is the easy part for me. The hard part for me is tying the stupid not at the end of the balloon. Anyway, where was I? Oh right work and 9/11. We were allowed to wear patriotic garb. Well, except for me mostly because the closest thing I have to said clothing is a semi-old (but I wear it on a regular basis) shirt with the New York skyline (pre-9/11) and the face of the Statue of Liberty overlooking it more or less. The problem? It's not "Red, White and Blue." The skyline/face is black with green lining on a white shirt. I figured what's more frickin patriotic then the Statue of Frickin-Liberty? If I didn't have any respect for the nation, I'd wear a French shirt or some other nation's color that has Red, White and Blue for its nation's colors. *Sigh* Another day, Another dollar.

When it Rains, it Pours

As I went into work today, my car started smoking... not on fire smoking but more of a antifreeze type smoke. Yeah my water reservoir sprung a leak. Total cost? $200.00. So there went all your presents from D.C. Sorry. You might see pictures from my trip (actually mine and my friend Jim's trip) here or on his website. Stay tuned.

Before I sign off until after my trip (most likely) you're probably asking yourself, "Is Mike worried about terrorism this close to the anniversary of 9/11?" Not really. Two reasons. First, there will probably be an air marshall on flight in and out of D.C. Second, if someone is dumb enough to try and hijack my plane, I'm just going to go all Harrison Ford on them and tell them to "Get. Off. My. Plane!"
