But what about the puppy?
I suppose there are a few things going on that I could put in here, and since I now seem to have abundant time on my hands I suppose now is just as good as ever. If a part or two of this goes a bit emo I apologize in advance.
Overall been sick as hell the last few days going on to about two weeks now. These days I'm better, but the coughing and such takes forever to go away when you have reduced lung capacity and an overall lower rebound time from certain poisons prescribed to you. Also in that vein, I saw Dr. Death last week to get my scorecard updated, and as expected things continue to decline ever so slowly. I suppose that's all well and good, since the alternative, and expected norm for this sort of thing, is collapse. Now I never mind being sick alone and in silence, but having this hack going on to advertise my plight to the world is just not good at all.
Had a few conversations with a few selected individuals during the past week that made me kinda stop and take notice. First thing to realize about me is that I hate people who deceptively multi-facet their lives. Call it whatever you care to, two-faced, fake, counterfeit, whatever, but when you present each person you meet a different side of your personality you do disservice to yourself. To wit, in a few conversations things were told to me that I already knew of, and they were told in half-truths and flat out lies. Look, I'm a sneaky shit and I find out things from all kinds of places. Don't lie to me and expect me to abide. Also on this topic, don't play me for a fool. I was born on a Sunday, but it wasn't last Sunday. Don't expect things told to me will go unverified, especially since we all have the same group of friends. We all talk about each other, so bullshit becomes apparent really fast. And for those of you currently taking advantage of me in hopes I won't notice, and you know who you are, I allow things to continue as they have only because there is a certain joy I get in helping you out. Should you get rude, demanding, or otherwise unruly I'm cutting you off. My quota has been filled and overflow is not tolerated. I've already lost out on a ball game date, and I'm guessing a concert date this week, so don't push it.
No doubt this is why I'm sorrowfully single.
On to positive things then.
It was a banner week for football in my neck of the woods. The football teams of nearly every college I have ever been associated with returned victorious. What this means: Florida (the game that I attended), Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Monmouth, Washington, Penn State, all winners. Only Appalachian State and Miami lost. Note this cannot happen again next week as ND and PSU play each other, but still...
Also, saw the Rays play Sunday and pull out one hell of a game against the Mariners. Am trekking to Tampa to see them again tonight, and again on Friday. Gotta get it in while I can.
Golf this past week, shot an 84 on Friday at World Woods (a personal best for that course) and a 78 at Ironweed, er, Ironwood. My handicap remains steady at 11. Not bad considering... Note to the folks at Ironwood, you're not going to win anyone over with a course that looks like hell. I only play it because I used to work there and know it's ins and outs. Of course you could hire me back to run it, but then I'll prolly cost you more than you you're willing to pay.
One final note, Less Than Jake play Common Grounds Sept. 18 and 19. Get tickets now and go see them. Never disappointing to see then here in town.
