"Something's In The Air Tonight...

....the sky's alive with a burning light. You can mark my words, somthing's 'bout to break."

From Mat Kearney's "Nothing Left To Lose"

I think I may have set a new record. And one that I'm not particularly proud of. Not only have I not posted in almost 2 months, but I haven't so much as looked at this, or any other blog that I used to with any degree of frequency.

Wow, what the hell have I been doing with my time? Well, a few things actually. First, I resolved that I didn't want to spend the kind of time behind that computer that I had been. Nothing makes my ass grow wide like sitting here for hours, slugging back coffee and whatever kind of snack I can muster. So my time in at the computer isn't what it used to be. And my ass looks great, thanks. Second, I've been toying around with the idea of getting away from this blogspot nonsense and actually establishing my own joint, a la protectandsmirk.com. I had already been inspired to have my own site by others I know that maintain their blogs on their own space (winks at Lisa). And speaking of Lisa, I just looked at your site for the first time in awhile, and I have to tell you that I totally dig the new look. Very bad ass, my friend. In addition to the computer-related nonsense, I've just been working a lot. I want to buy a house and since property here in Montgomery County is ridiculously expensive, I need to get some more greenbacks together.

Anyhow, I don't know if I'm going to go through with making up my own website, but the idea isn't totally dead in the water. I'm tinkering around with some things on my new Mac here (which, BTW, is excellent for that kind of thing), and I'll see what I might be able to work up.

Switching gears, what's going on with my Capitals? I went to the home opener and had a great time watching the Hurricanes get shut out. They were playing great in the first three games, then something went horribly, horribly wrong. Snap out of the funk, guys. And that's all I'm going to say on that topic.

This past Friday marked the six month anniversary of when I brought Murphy home. It's only been 6 months? Wow, it feels like I've had him forever. He's simply the coolest. We're gearing up for his third birthday next month. I guess I can let him celebrate his doggie milestone with a sip of lager. Since, you know, a 3 year old dog = a 21 year old human. Actually, I'll have the lager for him. If you saw him drink, you'd understand. I love you buddy, but would it kill you to get at least 50% of the liquid in your mouth instead of 80% of it on the floor?

Well, that will be it for today folks. It's around 4:30 AM and I'm heading back to bed for awhile. I don't know what possessed me to get up in the middle of the night to begin with, but at least I seized the opportunity to write a little sumthin' sumthin' on this thing.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't say "Nice Job!" to Hockey Kim for her standing in on Lisa's blog. Well done, amigo.

Man! I was wondering if the goons had kidnapped you! Glad to see you are back. Thanks for the comments on my layout. I'm pleased with it. And I highly recommend getting your own domain. You can use blogger to do it and point it to the domain or you can download and work with Word Press. You really are a good and interesting blogger, albeit an infrequent one. LOL

We were at the home opener too and they were playing great and then the slide just seemed to happen. WTF is their deal?? Arrgh. Will you be at the Flyers game next week?
