9982 – Veteran’s Day

Thank you, Thank you to everyone in the military, past and present devoted to protecting us.

In honor of Veterans day, I post a picture of me as G.I Joe, fighting an evil yeti.

It isn’t all commies, nazis and terrorists, you know!

Disclaimer, that isn’t really me… I was just told that it looked like me, by David. I hope he was referring to the Joe, not the Yeti. 🙂

9787 – Independence Day comes early to our neck of the woods.

Third of July. The twin beaches always celebrate a day early, because everyone likes to go to DC or someplace else for the 4th.

Andrew was looking dapper, and the fireworks were a-ok by me. we spent the day grilling – thankfully, it was cool and comfy at windward key. I grilled the dogs and etc, while bhk made a funfetti cake.

We played some Can’t stop, Huggermugger and of course, apples to apples. I was hoping for a little try at dictionary dabble  (aka Balderdash, but dabble has much cooler pawns)

BHK took most of the Dock pics, I experimented a bit with the camera settings for the fireworks.

let’s see now –

Recapping –

Got my 401k comp check from my last gig – That worked out well. I told a little fib to BHk, and said that I expected about $500, and we got about eight times that amount. (I was planning for about six times.)

Went to Annapolis and promptly deposited that little windfall in the bank – then stopped off at the Amish Farmer’s Market for breakfast. BHK and I split two – ate half and then swapped Chocolate Chip Pancakes, home fries, cheddar cheese omelet, wheat toast – I let BHK eat up all of the bacon, of course.

Opted out of going to a movie – nothing we want to see just this moment.. maybe next week when it’s less crowded.  We did get a few other goodies at the farmer’s market – cheese, strawberries, trinket’s for our 4’th of July cake (gummy stars and confetti sprinkles), a blueberry fritter for me for tomorrow’s breakfast (or tonight’s midnight snack)

BHK remembered that I was due for shots (skipped when em was here) and we went there for a bit. Adam called, and mentioned that he was coming down for the 3rd’s fireworks, an was bringing Anna – so, it was a quick trip to the grocery to be sure he had a full belly.

I was feeling pretty out of it at that point, so I rested in the car. Going to nap now that we’re home. sweet dreams, dear journal.

added for no reason, except that I like Em and Otters – S6303931

note – seen after we went out too catch the Land of the Lost Movie today – I rather liked it, and I’m a fan of the original show.

cookout at in-laws for mom’s day – pictures worth a thousand words, right? I hope so, because I don’t have much to post, otherwise.

Happy Muddah’s Day, to all muddah types!

We celebrated mother’s day at clarke’s landing – seafood was ok, but not up to normal par. Chris liked it, and that was the goal.

Had a nice day – Larry had to go tend to Prom, so we came over to our place and watched Wuthering Heights.

I split time between the movie, and installing Adobe CS4 – got a good deal on it from a friend, and now I may finally take scottobear.com out of its old look. Still debating a theme, but it’ll be cleaner, and will incorporate bHK, pye, newt and myself all on our own pages.

9704 – Tuesday –

Cinco De Mayo… Cheers! We had ratatouille and baked potato for supper. (But the bagel I ate had jalapenos on it!)

Contemplating going to Bengie’s Drive-in this weekend. Triple feature of Fanboys, Monsters vs. Aliens and Star Trek a fun, dorky night.
I’m not sure though – I’d prefer to see MvsA in 3-d.

Talked to Danny on the phone tonight – he might be jumping into a game of Champions at his local game store this summer. 150 points – the store used to be the Dragon’s Lair, but it’s now Adventure something or another.

Bro sent me a text from his new phone – I’ll call him tomorrow and see how he sounds. I’m sure he’s happy to be out and about.

No Franklin again this morning – I noticed that the lawn was treated with chemicals – hopefully that kept him away, along with the cold, drizzly rain.


Pull in your tum,
stick out your tush,
wiggle your hips,
now give ’em a push

Godspeed, Captain Chaos


As I was starting to say, I’m glad it’s staying a bit rainy and cool outside… I’m probably the only one who is loving a little soft, cool rain over sun and heat. I’m a hairy, big beast… hm, an excuse for another old Ditko picture, I think, dear journal.

9703 – Monday –

Happy Cuatro De Mayo! BHK brought home a few fun things from the thrift store – Aztec statuary for the lawn – a temple, an Idol, and a terra-cotta dancer!

BHK drove me in to work today – made the transition the first day back a lot simpler. We scanned for Franklin, but it was raining. He isn’t as silly as the puff from yesterday – knows when to get out of the rain (unlike Pyewacket, who likes to stick his head under any faucet he can. Hurricane baby.

WalkGiants1

Some days, I feel a bit like Lennie from Of Mice and Men… I feel that I have to be extra gentle, just so I don’t demolish everything in my path. I don’t want to break any necks, either figuratively or otherwise.

I’m getting better about it, though. Today was exhausting, but I’m glad I’m back at my gig.

Big Bang was cute tonight – lots of nods to nerds, and dinner was a broad assortment of nibs and nabs… veggie spare ribs, taquitos, rice, jalepeno poppers, and edamame! very tasty, and I’m going to pop in a moment.

Sweet dreams, dear journal.

9698 – Friday = MAYDAY!

My access pass made it to work, but too late for me to get there at a reasonable hour – I’m back on Monday.

Meanwhile, I can catch up with old emails, and go see Wolverine with BHK! Not a bad flick, but I suspect fans of wolvie might not dig it.


via shoebox – President Obama says he does not want to run auto companies, hoping they can recover soon.  He does, however, want to keep the giant inflatable gorilla because it’s awesome and really draws attention to the White House.

Happy Walpurgisnacht!

Not at work – workers comp / work in general needed a tighter definition of “light duty”. (I got the email last night after the doctor’s office closed – so I get another day from the house. Kind of annoying – not sure if worker’s comp is going to pay for my day off today.)

Should be self explanatory, but I have to wait. I guess back tomorrow. Spoke to the doc, and she’s sending over more info this morning.

As of now (approx 3:20pm) they still haven’t faxed the information over. I tried calling a little while ago, but no answer. Going to try again in about 10 minutes.

Book fair in Annapolis – taking it slow and easy though. Yard sale, and sat in on a panel of writers. Saw the Wayne Alan – writer of Magical Meatless Meals. More in-depth reviews to follow.

Scholastic was there – lots of flashbacks to the days when filling out a little strip of paper and ordering books through school came back. 

Book fair was at the Keys school private education pre-k – 12- the mascot is the obezegs (Gazebo backwards)

Also shown – Easter egg tree, gazebo roof, and some video of the local color.
