Last Day Off

It's the real McCoy this time, back to work tomorrow for the year, last back to work was just a trial run. The countdown to the end of next June begins. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Gotta get studying. :-) またね。

Banished!

So we had to banish the furry creature from next door, from returning to our deck. Sad but true, the little beggar is cute, but demanding, it would sit in front of the screen yowling for attention (and to get let in, which wasn't going to happen) it also had a tendency for dangerous actions such as sitting right on the edge of the balcony eyeing up the decorative cedar. (Keep in mind we are three floors up). It had already used up one of it's nine lives in a fall to the bushes below (no injuries except a tender paw, thankfully). So the space under the divider between the two decks is now sealed with plywood. Too bad. またね。

At Least He appologised....

I don't normally comment on this sort of thing (non anonymously, anyways) But, today I will: So it looks like Mel Gibson did the DUI thing after all; And appologised for it afterwards, at least there was an apology. Which is more than one can say for a large number of the Hollywood/Washington/Ottawa prima donnas who do the drunken/drugged rampage thing, then try to blame someone else. Such as their parents, siblings, etc. Anyone but themselves. Now, let's hope he will seek treatment, maybe this is what will start the process. *** Update *** I'm glad he's now appologised for the grotesque comments he made while smashed, now will the press please move on? It took a lot of moxie to admit he was wrong, but the press will hang onto this like super glue on a pair of dentures. The MSM could learn a thing or two (or three) and admit when they are wrong AND appologise for it, as he did. He didn't blame anyone other than himself. He didn't blame mom, dad or the Parish priest. Time for others to get the example and follow suit. Each of us at one time or another has said some pretty damn dumb, or even pretty damn mean things, many of us will blame others, then carry on with life. We rarely admit to being wrong. The MSM barely even hiccups when another Hollywood star or talk show host, or MSM darling (like, say, oh Andy Rooney, maybe??) put down Christians in the same (or worse) manner. (I distinctly recall Rooney referring to Gibson as a "Pervert" - no one screamed about that totally ignorant comment.) Why the double standard? またね。

Milestone

O.K. I have reached a milestone in my weight loss, 300 pounds - which means I have now lost 50 pounds. The next milestone is 280. Each week, the goal of being 210 again gets closer. またね

Hi Ho, Hi Ho

So it's back to work tomorrow. But wait, isn't that early? Yes, it is I am going back to work for three days this week, then off next week instead. My co - worker wants to spend a couple of days off this week, thus the switch in schedule. Work is kind of quiet at this time of year, I can get lots done... And the walk to and from work is a nice bit of extra exercise. じゃ また

Once It's off...

Once this excess poundage is off.... It is most definitely staying off, I don't think I have run across anything in my life which is tougher.... Well, seeing a close friend die, but that's different. It didn't take an awful lot of effort to put it on, but I tell you; a diet, exercise, all for a few pounds of loss per month.... especially when I could put on a dozen pounds in that same span with little or no effort.... Blah. 大変ですね。 じゃまた。

About Me

My photo
I am an old(er) computer geek, wrote my first program on punch cards. The profile picture is VERY OLD but since I am usually behind the camera, there are very few snaps of me I like. This is one before..... fat. In fact, it's about 15 years old. I am also a former Missionary.
