Made a couple barbecued chickens tonight and had some friends over for dinner.



Have one left from the first batch and the next batch graduates next Sunday. I do believe we'll be having chicken at least once more this week...

Ok, he is a good actor, but give Jack his credit for ALWAYS having been creepy. Regardless of the role.

He's one of my favourite actors. He always has the right mad expression in his eyes, no matter the role.

I meant elsewhere. I think I pissed off a young model that friended me on FB.



Sad thing is, all I did was provide her an answer to a question she asked. My answer conflicted with one of her personal friend's answer to her question. He resorted to name calling when I refuted his opinion - and it was solely an opinion. I posted a reference that provided facts that conflicted with his opinion... he got pissier and even less mature... and of course, I'm the bad guy.



Oh well. I'll get over it.

Morri and I went to see a Pink Floyd tribute band tonight named Hey You. They put on a great show with a lovely backdrop being on a very scenic section of the Niagara-Erie Canal.



It is one of those little area gems few people talk about, and it made me want to get a kayak and go paddling down the Canal one of these days.

I'm thinking, hamburgers for dinner. Have smelled too many barbecues going on today.



He said the audio recordings of today's show would be available in a few days. He said that last time too. A month later they handed me CD's for every show from January, except the one I was on. Somehow, those recordings vanished forever.



The good news is I got the contract.



The less than good news is, due to some changing federal legislation that everyone has to adjust to, they no longer know when exactly I will be starting.



But now I have Monday and Tuesday to find more work to do - and yes, I will have plenty.

Quite often at my one job, I am required to grab a little set of foam ear plugs and use them because I need to walk by very loud machinery in a confined space. There are usually bins of new ear plugs somewhere nearby, but sometimes you have to walk all the way around the machinery (in some cases, it can be quite a distance) to get to the wall where the bin is hung.



Yesterday I got annoyed while walking all around one of the production lines looking for a phone that needed to be replaced. So I grabbed a handful of packages from the nearest bin just to have some in my pocket.



Now I have packages of ear plugs on my desk. I'm considering wearing them in the office all the time and just pretending I can't hear anything...

Intelligent design? FEH. How about A spider that is better than natural Viagara?



That is, if it doesn't kill you in the process...

The weather was absolutely perfect today. I think it got up to about 82F, with a nice breeze from the lake. Right now the temp has dropped into the low 70s and the cool air feels so nice coming in through the open windows.



I missed a great photo opportunity today - driving home along the waterfront, the lake was filled with sailboats and the Edward Cotter was running a drill, spraying water from its gun hoses high into the air. The blue lake, white sails and fountains of water in the middle of it all... it would have been a great shot...



I need to travel with my camera everywhere, dammit.

...positive phone call to start the day. A better understanding of what is happening. I'm still holding my breath just a bit, but it is looking a bit more positive every day.

A great article from Cracked.com here.



Take it with a grain or perhaps even a shaker of salt.

Joli's story reminds me of the classic....



A man walks into the TV Studio and proclaims, "You have to put me on the air! I'm going to be rich! I have the world's first talking dog!"



The station managers said, "Talking dog? Prove it."



The man responded, "Ok, I will asking him a series of questions that will prove he can talk!" He continued, "First question - if something is not smooth it is, what?"



The dog said, "Ruff!"



"Hear that? He said rough! Ok, next question - what goes on the top of a house?"



The dog said, "Roof!"



"Hear that?" exclaimed the man, "He said roof! Ok, last question - who was the greatest baseball player of all time?"



The dog said, "ROOF!"



"Ruth! He said Ruth! You have to put us on the air!"



The station manager promptly kicked them both out of the station... dejected, the man and the dog sat on the curb outside the station, when the dog turned to the man and said, "Maybe I should have said DiMaggio?"

...I normally loathe amusement parks. Typically hot, crowded with people who are oblivious to the fact anyone else exists, staffed by people who don't want to be there and seemingly don't care about their jobs...



There is actually a nice little amusement park nearby here called "Fantasy Island." Never overly crowded, but they do good business and always seem to have new rides every year. Only one adult sized roller coaster - lots of the typical spin until you puke rides. They cater more to the small kids and have an entire section of kids' rides, kids' activities - a great petting zoo where the keepers actually will teach the kids about the animals - a canoeing pond...



...I don't loathe going there. That is where I spent the day with the kids, celebrating my niece's birthday.



I have to hand it to my kids - I never got a flavor for amusement park rides. They're simply not enjoyable for me. And when I see ones like the new one they have there - the Mind Warp... and they want to go on this thing...



I applaud them for their chutzpha.



I spent most of the day trying to keep up with my kids and their cousins - the older ones that wanted to go on all the adult sized rides. I went on a few and did the obligatory going on rides with the youngest that he needs a parent to accompany him... but the day is a blur. Great memories, I just can't visualize so much of the past 10 hours in my mind...



I think I need some sleep...
