Kinda News

I've gone and found my other abandoned blogs around the World Wide Web and added them here. I've also was able to put them in the order that I wrote them. I have stuff here from MSN's myspace and Yahoo's 360. If anyone out there has any of my emails from either New York or my trips please email and I'll put them up here.

Looking Back



This is me taken,my family thinks was around my first birthday. So April of 1966. It used to be in colour but its faded. This picture and many others over the years was in a frame that hung in my parents living room. Each one of us six kids had our picture up there. It got to be that as we got older and graduated or the schools stopped taking pictures that we stopped aging in the pictures and we all ended up the same age. Then little by little the grandkids took our place.

I couldn't do it

People In The Neigbourhood pt2



This is Nancy and Jean, They are disco junkies. They can't wait to hit the dance floor or a sale at CJ Banks.




This is Lisa, she loves horses. She'd ride one to work but they are so hard to parallell park.
Her greatest hope is some day to have the lead in Annie....I hate to be the first to tell her but....

The Sky Is Falling

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm warning...Which means that all the little weather men on the local stations make it sound like the world is ending unless you watch their show. Major snowstorm to hit area (they have 110inches of snow in New York..they would call this light dusting)

The winter that won't quit (it feburary its not spring for another month) continues on for the Quad Cities as we are under a Winter Storm Warning for the overnight hours and on through Tuesday as well. This will be one of the more potent storms(until the next one comes along) of the winter, not so much for the actual snowfall,(then why all the bold print) but because of the combination of snow and gusty winds as well. That will create a good deal of blowing and drifting snow especially for open areas (so don't go out). I expect to see snow totals from this to range in the 2-4 inch catagory for areas north of the Quad Cities, probably 4 to 6 inches locally and up to 8 inches south and east into west central and northcentral Illinois(look at your little map..Indiana is going to really get it). Another push of Arctic air will follow with temperatures to fall below zero (still winter) by Thursday morning.

Happy Thought.

Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes four muscles to extend your arm and slap the idiot upside the head.

Super Bowl XLI

Just got back from a Super Bowl party and wasn't really surprised that the Bears lost. I know I should be more supportive of the home town team. But its the Bears. Lot of show but no follow thru. And that is my comments on sports.
No ads that really stuck out in my mind. Couple of "cute" one. I'm sure that isn't what they where looking for. Half time show..Prince? Was MC Hammer busy?
The party was great as always. Big thank you out to the Harksens. The food was bad for you and lots of it. Many many chooses of wine and other adult beverages. The Merlot was good but I know I will have a headache cuz of it and the White Zin tasted like cardboard...don't ask. Good friends,gossip and wedding planning filled the night.
Births,weddings,trivia nights,and jerks name Jim.
My doc aint going to be to happy about the wine but he's a very unhappy man...I wonder why?
