OK, I am admittedly an Xbox geek who sometimes gets into games and plays for hours. So, it is a little embarrassing when you buy a game from Best Buy entitled “Grand Theft Auto IV” and the pimply faced teen at the counter says, “Ma’am I need to advise you that this game has a ‘mature’ rating so you may want to look at it before you give it to your son!”…..sigh. Got it kid, the game is for me and I have no son…Next up, “Call of Duty 4”. Say what you want but shooting, stabbing, punching and kicking people but it really helps me relieve my angst. Then again, I’m not a teenager anymore so shouldn’t I have gotten rid of my angst years ago…and what is causing it?
Speaking of what is causing it, Dad is doing fine (I joke). Took him for his check up and he checks up categorized as “living”. His blood sugar is under control and his blood pressure is ok but the doc wants Susan and I to monitor that too. Weeeeeh! Now not only do I get to check his blood sugar, I get to monitor his BP…next up, I’m giving him a hair cut this weekend…the fun never stops at my house. I’m thinking about giving him a mow hawk…just a subtle one…come on that would be funny. On a serious note, He may need to get an outpatient procedure to have cortisone put in his spine as his lower back is really bother him and his spine is a bit mangled. For those of his children who NEVER call (you two know who you are) it would be nice if you called him once in a while to say “hi”. (guilt trip?!….)
My company is offering ‘voluntary’ retirement packages to people....that usually means there soon may be to lay-offs. If we don’t win a few big jobs that we are bidding on, lay-offs could be not so far off. I believe the division I work for is doing o.k. but it sure makes for some interesting whispering in the halls. Speaking of work, today is “bring your child to work day”. Which basically means you can’t get any work done and people walk around trying to impress their kids about how important they are…there is one person here who talks non-stop about the perfect kids he/she has. I’m going to greet them by saying, “Gee “x” I didn’t know you had any kids, you never talk about them”….mean I know…
The Cubs better start winning. That is all I’m going to say. Check out this brawl the Cubs "A" team in Peoria had last night, out of control: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v15260418Js5dk9yp?rank=4&order=mr

Lynda got back from her trip up Mt. Rainier in Washington. Weather prevented a full summit but it seems like she had fun. If you can call trekking up a 10K ft. mountain in the snow and camping fun. See link for awesome pictures:
