She managed to convince Harvey not to fuck up Ric's trip to St Lucia. 

Finished up my Eclipse video today. Had the opportunity to see the Totality down in TN. Saw it from right on the center-line at the I-40 rest area at the caney fork river... 2m39.5s of totality! it was profound:

 

Dude. I was in Madison. Drove to Spring Hill just after. Think I may have gone through that area. It was ridiculous, no?

Most insane thing I've ever seen! The traffic driving back to the east coast from TN was sick too...10hr drive turned to 16hrs...and I had to work today.

Good, that must be a relief.  

Shelly=1, Greg=2.

Stress sucks.

How did it go Shelly?

I had one done last year - one hour for emergency treatment and two two-hour sessions. For me it was an amazing non-event other than the amount of time in the chair and the traumatic extraction from my wallet.

Trying to one-up the proverbial Jones'?  Best 'o' luck, hope both procedures go/were OK

Root canals are one area I have no interest in one-upping anyone but unfortunately I doubled down this year.  My oral surgeon loves me.

Evidently I was paying too much attention to Ric and my teeth and my cousin Harvey got mad and is coming for me at full strength.  

So I will probably win the day, post wise with this one.

I was trying to grill burgers last night, and the grill wouldn't light. Kept trying for a bit. Nothing.

Then boom.

Fireball went up while I was close.




Singed hair and beard and eyebrows (and I just had those waxed!!!)

Grrrr.

Oh, the pièces de résistance?

Is that what they teach you at Mensa?

Everyone at NAMBLA is taught that.

That's epic.

Opening tournament of the fall soccer season

Update: 3-1 with an awesome free kick goal by one of our center backs. Next game at 8:15.

Went to see Shakespeare's gore-fest Titus Andronicus in Stratford. We had one guy stabbed to death and castrated, and his wife multiply raped, her hands cut off and tongue cut out. Two others were strung up by their feet and had their throats cut, and then baked in a pie and fed at a banquet to their mother.

I actually lost count of the number of people killed, and in how many creative ways. It is basically a revenge tale which quickly got out of hand in a seriously big way. Titus was played by David Troughton, the son of Patrick Troughton (the second Dr Who).

When the actors came on to take their bows it looked like a scene from a horror movie - all of them soaked in stage blood.

Demo day at the local shop. Got to try a boosted board again, which was a totally different experience now that I can ride an analog one. Switched up my bushing configuration and swapped to new ceramic bearings.

Also got in a bit over 20 miles on my board.

I think you'll be disappointing with them. Try the AlNiCo's instead - they feel more natural.

So when do we get footage of Colin faceplanting off the board?

So finally done with soccer tournament weekend one. Tired as fuck. Two games yesterday at 3:30 and 8:15. Got home about 11 and finally got all cleanup and laundry done by about 2:00 am. Up at 6:15 for a 8:50 am and 2:00 pm game today. Much better results this year compared to last as they ended up 3-1. Most of that is due to their new coach, Michael Caine. He is a Brit but I do not hold that against him. I actually like him a lot because we both seem to enjoy a nice bevy every now and again.

No, that is the actor that stole his name. Although, I can't say I would mind sharing a bevy with that Michael Caine either.
