Good mornin'

Hello to everyone?  What is happening out there in the real world?  Nothing much here...finishing up books and taking it easy.  The leaf removal is complete...Pork Chop came through.  There are minor outdoor tasks to complete before winter really hits, but I couldn't be happier.  First year that I have had the pleasure of doing absolutely nothing with outside Fall cleanup.

Roy, are you in the middle of planning another fabulous team treat day?

Griff, are you loving the peace and quiet with me not being there asking for coffee runs constantly?  Also, has there been any takers of Goodnight Moon?

Vinneeee, thanks for the relish tBones last weekend!

Back

Sorry people, I sort of unplugged this week and focused on reading.  The foot is good...it gets a little sore at times, but nothing too bad.  In 2 weeks I get to return to Mayo and have this cast removed, the foot examined, and a new cast put on again.

As for the home front, Pork Chop did a great job so far on the leaf removal.  He still has the hardest part remaining, but overall he's about half done with the property.  Couldn't be prouder.  If anything, he has a future in lawn care.

Birds

Just sitting and reading when I heard this awful screeching and clucking sounds outside...across the street in dingbat's trees is a massive flock of birds, grackles or something.  I have never witnessed that many birds before.  Had they seen me staring at them, they could have easily swarmed the house and attacked.  Whats a few sacrificial deaths ramming our windows to shatter and get inside.  I hope they pooped everywhere on his house.

Recommend

I recorded and watched the first episode of what appears to be a promising new tv series in the wake of Breaking Bad.   No, I'm not comparing this to BB in any way, but I thoroughly enjoyed the writing and subtleties in this show that does remind me of BB.

The show is called The Returned and it aired last night on the Sundance channel.  I won't spill the beans about the plot, but it is a bit sad and unnerving all at the same time.  Oh, and it's a French import, so if you don't like subtitles, it won't be for you.

Terrible

Previous to today, I haven't really watched any of the Halloween movie franchise.  I'm on the third one called Season of the Witch, and it's horrendous.  There is nothing scary about it.

On a side note for Billy, how goes the battle with reports and whatnot?

Halloween

I put the book down and now tuned into the original Halloween.  Good stuff.  I wonder if people would notice if I pulled a mike Myers around the office by standing at a distance and stare?  The heavy breathing is already covered by quite a few people.  What a crappy day for the kiddos to be out tonight.  But I'm still counting on Pork Chop and Meaty to bring home the goods.

Good morning

Hello sunshines, what is everyone up to today?  I'm just tuned into the Sirius radio channels via satellite....there is nothing on tv and I can't get to the basement to grab an Xbox controller to play games or stream shows.  The boys will pay for this oversight on their part.
