Good Morning Saturday!
Dad came with his little friend Sarge yesterday and I am already so attached to Sarge. He is the cutest and sweetest! He has a character and its so special. He has a way of eating which is the food is placed in his bowl, he comes over and looks at it and looks at dad with this yeah so what. Dad takes it and places some on a spoon and gives it to him then Sarge will take some and dad directs him to the bowl. Sarge looks at the bowl and looks at dad and steps back. Ok step 3, dad takes some of the food and puts it in the palm of his hand, Sarge comes over and eats from it and this continues until Sarge has ate his food. It is just a total treat to see. The bond is really nice.
Last night we all stayed in the house and had Chicago styled hot dogs, home made potato salads, Shortys Baked Beans, Shortys cole slaw and 2 bottles of white wine and 1 bottle of red wine. All the boys and I really had a nice time talking and laughing.
Today Dad and Marty went to Shulas 2 (Bar in Miami Lakes owned by Don Shula and son) and they will be watching the Gators game there together (Go Gators!). Edit: Gators won big time.
Tonight we went to http://www.capitalgrill.com/ for dinner to celebrate Dennis' s belated birthday. We certainly do not mind. I had for the first time a White Bordeaux which was fabulous. Some of us took advantage of the Miami Spice Menu. I had a nice Filet Mignon which was so good along with creme brulee. Yum. The boys each had their steak version while one opted for the Salmon, (ever so healthy). The picture above is of the boys and dad at the restaurant. The top picture if Sarge.

Buh Bye But is it game over?
Now bad...Well since this was what was called BB Fast Forward they played a week's worth of competition. SO a new HOH competition was played and Jerry aka Jerryatic won. Yeah this is not good for the remaining 4 who were planning on being the final 4. So now the big mystery is who will Jerry place up for nomination? One needs to stay tune because well its not done yet. He has problems with all of them. If I was to guess who he will put up it is going to be Dan and maybe Renny. Oh but of all things to happen Jerry! Why or why! Oh but this is a game and anything can happen and it does.
So stay tune folks...

So close ... The Weekend Long!
Oh the long weekend is almost here and my very favorite father in law arrives tomorrow so I am way excited! Dad is bringing his new live in friend. Now before you jump to conclusion the new live in friend is named Sarge, you see Sarge is a doggie.
It is kind of hard to see Sarge's face but I am sure I will have more chances to take more pictures. From what I am told Sarge has a character and dad has already started spoiling the latest member of the family. Now Paradise and Max are just going to love Sarge -----NOT! But so what you know what they say Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
Tonight is Eviction night in the Big Brother house! Those silly houseguests think its just one going to the jury house (ha ha ha those silly kids) they have not figured out before the hour is over a 2nd will leave. Of course Jerry (aka Jerryatic) and Michelle (Manchelle) are on the block and so far Michelle should be the one leaving. But Michelle and Ollie have been campaigning very hard and what is very noticable is that Jerry has done zero campaigning. Some of the HGs are wondering why he has not campaigned or asked for their vote. Ok HELLO the man is old but not totally senile he was there for the blow up he knows to move back and let you all fight it out. Somehow they have not come up to that answer...Yeah some of the HGs in there are "special".
I will try to update over the long weekend but because of our HGs I may not be able to so if you cannot wait to find out who was evicted go to www.cbs.com/primetime/big_brother or better yet go to scoop central at http://www.mortystv.com/big_brother.shtml
In other local developing news it appears Hanna is coming to visit Florida. Tropical Depression #8, which formed in the Caribbean Sea Thursday morning, is now Tropical Storm Hanna.
Hanna is moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph. A turn toward the northwest is expected later today. On the forecast track, the storm will move away from the northern Leeward Islands and be centered well to the northeast of the Bahamas during the next couple of days.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 50 miles from the center.
Stay tune folks!

Almost time
In other news I was very disappointed in Big Brother last night. Why? Well I thought they would air more of the big blow up! OMG one of the biggest explosions to happen and they barely show any of it all they showed of Ollie was his movements of throwing stuff around. I know that CBS cannot air cuss words yes I know that but bleep it out or blur it like in the past. So if you want to see any of the fights I advise with no bleeps I recommend you go to www.youtube.com and type in BB10 Ollie, sort by today or this week and catch the latest and greatest. So last nights feeds did have a rather funny conversation Michelle (AKA Manchelle), and Ollie were having. Michelle is convinced that Dan is a plant by CBS and that the person Monica he saids is his girlfriend is really a CBS employee. She is positive that the reason she is now on the nomination block is because she was close to discovering everything and she wonders how the others in the house can be so stupid as to not figure this out. I can't wait till the show is over and she learns how stupid she really is.
Tomorrow is double eviction I cannot wait for a) Manchelle to get booted out and B) hope Ollie or Jerry follows.
Oh word on the street is that Ollie will have a consequences over his breaking of CBS property.

Week in review
Ok this weekend was pretty much pretty darn cool as weekends go. Saturday was a nice night. The evening started out by attending a special function at the Moose Lodge in Leisure city. We went there because the headliners were no other then the famous Elk Tones www.elktonesrock.com There were some special guests that were invited by Elk Tone 3 (Paul) and those were 2 high school friends from a previous band they all were in, named Vastergoth ( I hope I spelled that name right). 2 of the 5 members ( not including Paul) were present. This was actually nice because neither of them had seen each other since the mid 1980's. It was really super nice to see past rock heavy metal band members. www.myspace.com/pleach
The gig was so great it was filled with a lot of fun nice Moose members. The Moose members are always nice and always have a hand out to strangers and visitors. That makes the time so much more memorable.
Sunday was a nice do nothing day. Gotta love thos! We went to Mother's for dinner and that is always nice because the woman knows how to cook really good.
I know what you want to know yes this is all good but what has happened in Big Brother? Oh ok here is the scoop. We know booby April is gone and her boy toy Oliie was left behind. The new Head Of Household turned out to be Dan. He made what I would say a stupid deal. In his attempt to appear weak he told Ollie that he would give him the decision making as to who goes up including POV. Well his decision is not good because Ollie pin pointed one from Dan's alliance and that was Memphis. So right now the 2 on the block are Memphis and old fart Jerry. Memphis is not too happy about it because he risks going home. All because Dan wanted to appear weak Memphis does not know its because he wants to appear weak he thinks it because oh dear "I want to keep my word." Yeah nice going Catholic boy. But not to worry friend because Memphis won Power of Veto. So this means Memphis has the power to take himself off the block leaving Dan to put up someone in his place. Well Memphis is not stupid he will take himself down and Dan plans on putting up Michelle. Wait Dan wasn't Michelle part of your deal? Oh yes Dan told Ollie in part of the big deal that he would not put up Michelle he would promise her safety but from what I have been reading you plan on putting up Michelle. Ok I am not complaining because I do not like Michelle but wait what happen to your word? Oh yeah it was never about word it is about appearing weak. Stay tune friends will Dan go back on his word and put up Michelle and golly gee put up go back on his word to Ollie? Or will he "let" Ollie pick who will go up because Ollie is going around thinking he is in charge. Stay tune by friends.
Now another thing to look forward to is tomorrow yes tomorrow the DWTS cast will be revealed! (Dancing with the Stars). Oh one more good thing....get ready Sept 28 The Amazing Race is back on! Oh life is good when trash tv is going full force.
Alright my friends ... the week may be short written my very favorite father in law is coming to town on Friday! I always LOVE when dad comes to town! Can't wait!
Ok stay tune my friends!

New Day
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Hi Ho its Tuesday
Oh yes we certainly survived yet another Thunderstorm in Miami-Dade County. Imagine that! The city and citizens tend to run around during this time of year yelling "The sky is falling the sky is falling!" I work for a company that just does not fall into that notion. They are you come to work regardless unless its a Hurricane Warning, yeah no rest for the wicked and so what if you have to drive in 50 mile winds its not a hurricane be grateful. It would of been nice to have a Tuesday off like someone I know...lucky dog.
But needless to say the storm was pretty wicked there are about 12,000 people without power between Miami and Broward County so its not a baby hit. I noticed my trees swaying big time yesterday it was pretty intense but I felt safe because I noticed birds in the trees. If there is one thing I have noticed when the birds disappear its going to get nasty best roll up your sleeves and get ready. Now its time to do roll call on friends and make sure everyone is fine.
Last night was the first Monday night with no Mole. Yes I am sadden by that I miss that show! I am being reduced to not listening to my soaps in the afternoon so I can watch some on soapnet. Is that just so wrong or what?
Tonight is a Women of the Moose meeting those old ladies best show up. Oh I bet they will its the bar they live for that stuff. Its also Big Brother night but don't worry its not eviction night that is Thursday. Who will be going this week? You know my eviction prediction has been right on target so far but I am not sure this time around. But if I was going to make an eviction prediction it would be that April (the blonde who on the first day went around telling everyone to feel her boobs because they are real and now is having a sexual relationship with a guy in the house) will be leaving. She should leave I know how can anyone let a blonde like that go? After all soft porn shows for the internets nightly what will they watch? But this girl is sneaky too. And she is just scummy. Now Jerry the one against isn't all sweet and nice (he is the old man I posted a picture of in previous posts) he has his dark side and if he left I would not be crying in my wine. But thats my prediction April is going.
Stay tune and see the results...
Time to get back to work huh? Yeah I guess so too.

It's My Birthday!
Ok so lets fill you in on Big Brother I know everyone is dying to know. Renny won HOH (yee pee!) I did not like her the first week but then she toned herself down a bit and now I actually like her! So way to go Renny! Also Renny has made a wise move she has nominated Jerry (old fart) and April (sex hungry blonde) for eviction. Dan (Catholic guy who feels women she get over the womens lib fact and stop shoving it down everyone's throat and oh yes if Hilary Clinton became President he would turn in his citizenship and leave the country) yes this guy won POV (Power of Veto). This gives him the power to bring down one of the nominated people and then Renny would have to put someone else up in their place. Now decisions have not been made yet we have no idea if Dan will use it. The smart money saids he will not use it and leave things as they are because he is pretty safe leaving it like that. I think he will do that but sometimes these HGs when they get a little power it tends to go to their heads. While his political views and personal beliefs SUCK he has not proven to be a totally stupid player. Only time will tell. I will keep reading the scoops and whenever possible watch the live feeds.
This late morning I had some yummy fish and fries from Golden Rule Seafood. They now have a truck outside their market and you know it cannot get much fresher. Total hit. Tonight is Sculleys. So things are going ok. The weather so far is good but Fay is proving to make some people nervous. I wonder if I will get an extra day off work? I could not help but think that if I had the extra cash I would of been at this time on a cruise ship with Mimi, Joey, Ken Simon, Phyllis Lane, Joan and Frost Walker. They left on Thursday (when it was thundering and lighting) and are due to return Monday morning. But Fay is scheduled to come here some time around Tuesday or Wednesday. The timing is amazing. I am sure all will be fine we have a house that has great accordian shutters. Once locked up its like a safe. Plus our street does not really flood. SO all will be fine.
Stay tune for more Big Brother news as it develops....Note to self time to start looking for a new reality show to follow.

If its Thursday and Summer it must be...
The day is the natural cycle of our lives. The cycle of light and dark, wakefulness and sleep, has more significance than the cycle of the seasons. Indeed, in equatorial latitudes, you hardly notice the passing of the seasons. The day is what counts.
Saturday is almost here and the plans for now are for Paul and I go to to Sculleys and dinner and drinks and I believe the girls are going to come soon after or at some point. Who are the girls? Tina, Angela, Patty and Allison. Yes Patty and Allison I am way excited about that. Janis is out of town otherwise I know she would be in for this party. But we talked and we decided we would get together at a later date.
Oh one fun thing coming up Friday night Black Point Marina! I think we are going to try and party like a rock star. Way long time friends of Paul will be there and we are going to party like its 1999. Or something like that.
Stay tuned for more news as this develops....

Somehow it all works out
Ok now we await Thursday night because that is eviction night at the Big Brother house. Chances are Libra is going home and oh well who cares...I just want to know who will win HOH (Head of Household).
Ok in other news...
Been having nice morning calls with Patty (My very oldest dearest friend hee hee hee). Ok the birthday is getting closer and friends are pressuring me to make a decision on where to go and what to do. So I need to check with Paul and make sure this is ok but here are the "for now" plans. Go to Sculleys for an early dinner (like 5:30ish or so) hang out there for a bit and enjoy the atmosphere. Then my buds (gal pals) would come over and we continue the party longer! I so wish my BFF Janis would be there but NOOOOOOO she is in Umatilaaaaa. In my old age I have come to appreciate the simple things like hanging with my friends.... Oh yeah turning 45 can you believe it? Turning 45?? Yeah I am good with it.
Ok thats all for now.

Nostalgia
Thursday, August 7, 2008
Ok you see these two one of them will be evicted from the Big Brother house tonight! Who do I wish is out of there...why Muscle Boy Jessie of course he is the one on top,,Oh he would be so proud he came in first. It's hard to say which way the wind will blow because the HGs have proven to be stupid...ok stupid is a harsh word how about idiots...yeah much better. But I think that they eventually wake up and get rid of their biggest threat. As for the Mole Monday is the finale...

Tuesday
Is there still hope yes of course there is but not much....The saga continues....
Tonight is Big Brother (what you think all I do is watch the Mole oh you silly child you) I won't see much of Big Brother because I have a women of the Moose meeting...but up for eviction is Jessie and Memphis and I will admit in the beginning prior to the show I watched some pre interviews and Memphis I could not stand. Right now I am tolerating him because I so cannot stand Jessie...Ok Picture the Grand Canyon, the dessert in Nevada and this guys ego is still bigger. He tells people who leave the house you must think that its a great honor to be in here in this house and be able to work out with someone like me. Yeah he is a muscle man body builder who in the endurance competition was bragging how easy it was and dropped like a 10,000 pound brick and was out last by a 54 year old woman from New Orleans...Karma is sweet. He looks at people he doesn't like and blows them a kiss and goes "bye bye you are leaving" so this is the guy that is on the block...One would say oh easy choice vote him out...well America has voted and they want him out block we are one vote the other idiots have to vote in the house...I call them idiots because they have already proven they are by when they had the chance last week to get him out they did not. So the question is out there will the HGs have a brain and finally get rid of muscle boy? Thursday is eviction night so stay tuned!
