D Ray's Bash n Stuff

-
Janine and I had a great time last night! We went to our friend Darrell's birthday party. He's not doing half bad for a 40 year old.

We got there right on time, which is a major accomplishment for us, and went out to their back deck to have beers and hang out. A lot of people showed up. It's got to be great to have so many good friends like that. The food was great, the food was better, and the fellowship (I love that word sometimes), was awesome. D Ray's fiance, Tracy was a good host. It's hard to keep that many people in one yard...at one time.

We mostly sat out back and listened to some of these off the wall stories. Most of these guys are in bands and have been through some crazy shit, so it was extremly entertaining. It's always great to hear drunken stories about winding up in the wrong part of Atlantic City and getting harrassed by hookers. Great times.

I'll post pictures later on. Janine has the camera with her and she's at work today. The good news is that she's off all next week, so she'll finally get some time to relax! We're going to spend the week getting the house ready for Jessi and Sam who will be dropping in next Friday to check out the premiere of Spider Man 3. We're all excited and I hope to be having good times on our back deck.

I just need to get some tiki torches..and some chairs.

    Hey Mr. McMike...what exactly do you mean by not doing half bad for being 40? Hmm? Please, feel free to explain. LOL

    My word verification is "okakmqua." I think I've been making similar noises since our first softball practice on Sunday. heh

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to

My Wiiview

You all may be familiar with my Wii saga. Janine told me on my birthday in March that we were going to purchase the console which made me very happy. I figured both of us would be able to enjoy the Wii so it was a better value. Being at least two hundred dollars cheaper than the other new consoles help make that an easy decision too. Little did we know that we were in the midst of trying to find one the most sought after pieces of hardware since Tickle Me Elmo. I remember going to at least 5 stores in March only to find laughter when asked if they had any of these Wiis in stock. The manager of one store even told me that if I get in early enough, there may be two consoles, but I better bring a bat because the soccer moms trying to find them as well may have rabies. So Janine and I pretty much gave up on finding the new Nintendo console until last week when I was shopping for her iPod Nano. Sitting there in the back of the store were three Wiis. So now I have my toy hooked up and after

Dear Topaz, Today was a very good day. It was seasonable, but a little warm for this late in September. The sun was out, and some clouds rolled in. It felt like a pretty normal day. Work went well. Of course, being Friday, people are in better spirits and with some of the senior leadership out of the office, a few extra laughs were had with my associates. The ride to work and home was fairly typical. There's still entirely too many people who would prefer to focus on other things rather than driving. It's also nice to see some people heading out of town. I always imagine they're going a happy occasion to see family or celebrate a birthday or a wedding over the weekend. The boys are doing well. Their grades are holding up. Of course, they're both grounded, for various things. Their room's still a mess. The youngest is getting used to middle school and the oldest decided he likes Green Day. Janine and I are very disappointed in this development, and we ho
