I may be around this weekend.

There have been some interesting occurrences these past few days. Very interesting. So interesting, in fact, I'm going to break with tradition & not say any meaningful words about these occurrences and just keep rambling on and on and on and on...

I will say this: the trek to Toronto is looking less & less likely as the days...

Tonight I made a double boiler out of a saucepan, a strainer, and a small bowl.

I am so talented.

I'm off to Fenton for the weekend.

It'll be a blast.

{update}

Speaking of "blasts", Stop the Future by the Epoxies is now prominently featured in my CD collection.

My weekend just got that much better.

Tonight's dinner is Dolly's Signature Pizza #5 (double cheese, double pepperoni)--voted the Best Pizza in Michigan by the Michigan Restaurant Association.

That's all I have to report.

At 10:00 AM, Tuesday, November 23rd, 1954, General Motors built its 50 Millionth Car (a Chevrolet, of course). To commemorate that august occasion, they & the City of Flint threw a big party.

Bigger than the one they threw in 1940 for the 25 Millionth Car (a Chevrolet).
Bigger than the one they threw in 1929 for the Ten Millionth Car (a Buick).

Memo to self:

STOP PLAYING SIMCITY 4 UNTIL THE CRACK OF DAWN

Yar.

Yep, I was up until six in the morning playing that game. The plain vanilla version at that. So now it is time to bathe & go out into the world to buy food. Maybe some furniture too. I need more shelves.

The wedding was indeed all I feared/hoped it would be.

One, I got there half-an-hour late to find it had been moved south of Grand Haven. Fifteen minutes later, I arrive at the new location. The wedding had already started, so I stood off to one side until the bride was at the altar.

Did I mention this was an outdoor wedding? An outdoor wedding...

Tonight I found my tapes of Jekyll & Hyde.

In honor of that occasion, I am preparing a pork loin for dinner. Pork loin garnished with garlic, rosemary, basil, and oregano. Of course, what meat dish would be complete without a vegetable? One must have a vegetable (if not two) with one's complete protein.

That said, I'm having TWO: potatoes & onions. It's a...

For those of you interested in another SYH vs. THE MAN story, go back to yesterday's entry.

Today I have decided to splurge. Yes, splurge.

Tiger & iWork & iLife will soon be MINE!!! Well, maybe not iLife. I only use iTunes out of the four programs there. iWork, however, I will buy. SYH needs a flashy new word processor to go with his flashy...

Son of a bitch.

This afternoon--2:30PM to be exact--I began the trek to Middletown for the SSS.

All was going well, I was making excellent time. I was south of Toledo when the white car with a lit-up lightbar slid behind me.

Goddammit...

"Good afternoon, sir." (veteran trooper) "You realize how fast you were going?"

65.

"No sir, I clocked you at 72. You also...
