Finally, The Links

So tomorrow I finally get out and get to hit the links and smack around some golf balls. Don't get me wrong, any day that I can spend out of work and getting paid is a damn good day so I am not complaining in any way. I have been able to sleep in and enjoy being able to come and go as I please. Last nite Ms. X and I went out to our favorite restaurant last nite The Log Cabin Inn...http://www.springfields.com/lci_files/logcabininn.html That is the link for the website for any local people reading this. We had a great dinner and spent some time driving in the country and enjoying the scenery. We had a great evening bus she had to go to work today so we couldn't have the all nite great kind of time. I was able to sleep in so I caught a huge break there. So now the weather is finally supposed to break tomorrow morning and we are finally going to get back in to the 70's and low 80's...Thank goodness. These nites in the 30's in the end of May are insane. I am sure when July rolls around and I feel like it is Africa hot outside I will have something stupid to say then too. But then that is the benefit to having my own blog.

On a side note a quick shout out to Michael Watts for hitting his first out of the park home run in baseball. A grand slam no doubt either!!!!! Congrats young man. I hit my first out of the park homer when I was 27 years old playing softball and I still don't know if my feet touched the bases as I ran around them. It never gets old. Enjoy it and go for more...The second one should be easier now. Holla!!!!

Vacation????

So today is the first day of my first vacation in 2 years. Usually I would be excessively happy but the weather here is low 50's. How can this be happening in the middle of May for heavens sake. I am not complain though because any day that I am not spending at work and getting paid for it is a great day. We got rained out again for softball. We have only played like three games this season. The upside has been though that I have been able to rest up my frickin back. Finally, the pain went away this week. I thought it would never stop hurting. I am glad that I have passed that point in my life. Back injuries blow!!!!! I hope to go golfing a couple times this week. I will let you know how everything goes. Ms. X and I are going to dinner tomorrow nite to one of our favorite places. They serve a homemade Peanut Butter pie and oh my it is to die for. Holla if you hear me!!!!!

Gary Roberts Return Promo

This is the reason that the Pittsburgh Penguins are so fun to watch. This warrior is 41 years old and still a machine. I love to watch him play and love to see how he gets all of the fans riled up big time.

For Pens fans everywhere:

Our Roberts, who art in Pittsburgh
Gary be thy name.
The Playoffs come,
The cup be won, to Pittsburgh in the Arena called Mellon.
Give us this day our daily Pensblog
and forgive us our reporters as we job those who job against us
And lead us not into Philly,
But deliver us from Ottawa,
For thine is the Crosby, and the Malkin, and the Fluery for ever and ever.

AMEN!

Update, Update, Update

I am sitting here on a early Saturday morning and it is May 10th already. The one big downside to this is that it is cold and rainy here in the Burg today. I do have Ms. X in the bedroom sleeping so right now is pretty darn great right now. We had a great evening last nite. We went to the store, bought some booze and some food and then came home and cooked and settled in to watch the great Pittsburgh Penguins play in game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. Pens win 4-2...Oh yea!!!!!! This week I went to the Chiropractor to see if he could help with my back because it really hadn't gotten any better. Well strike me down he popped and cracked his little heart away and I actually do feel better. After this week I get an opportunity to finally take a weeks vacation. Yippee for me...My first vacation in like 2 years. Last year I had the surgery and let me tell you that was no vacation at all. Not being able to sit for a month is not my idea of fun for sure. Well, it looks like Ms. X and I are going to go and grab some breakfast and then spend the day doing some fun stuff. We may go to an outdoor market and stuff like that. I am looking forward to it. Holla if you hear me.....
