Good Friday.  I remember when, at catholic school, Good Friday was a big deal.  now, not so much.

day 7 in a row at the health club.  last day of vacation.  back to the grind monday.  and 2013 will be 25% gone....wow.  did I ever tell you how fast time flies????  maybe I did.

besides me and Kazz, there probably aren't too many Get a Life fans out there.  there was an episode where Chris orders a submarine, and 10 years later a huge box is delivered to his house.  he opens the box and hundreds of parts fall out.....I just spent about 3 hours putting a new gas grill together, and that is what it felt like.  the grill looks great in the store, and when you buy it, they bring out a huge box.  when you get home and open the box, you quickly realize what hell you have taken on.  but it is together.  and ready for use.  grilling....just the right thing to do with your idle hand while drinking beer. 

excuse me for missing the point, but what was wrong with the guy on the college bball broadcast saying he was there "for the white mans perspective"?  the false indignity.  but no outcry about the naacp leader saying the rape victim in ohio was responsible.  or the alabama politician calling southerners baby rapists?  i don't get it. 

anyway, life's too short, I guess.  and time flies. 

golf season in on the horizon....and my new swing is coming around.  88 or bust this year.

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov. Fudd   Quinn has come up with yet another bit of geniusness....giving a tax break to families with kids.  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/pat-quinn-taxes-state-illinois-speech-families-20120128 at a time with a bottomless pit of a budget deficit, and handing out tax breaks to every corporation threatening to leave Illinois, we are cutting more taxes to a special group...now, just who do you suppose will be asked to make up the difference?  and, of course, when the TEMPORARY income tax increase expires, what then. How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain't goin

Not much left in 2011...and each day we are a bit closer to spring... The toilet that is Illinois will be enacting over 200 new laws at the start of 2012. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/new-year-comes-with-more-than-200-new-illinois-laws-2012-20111228 In these laws, I cannot find: - a law limiting pension abuse, and illegal enrichment - a law limiting the public's exposure to pension debt - a law prohibiting insider deals from  politicians - a law prohibiting municipalities from selling assets that have been paid for by citizens - a law prohibiting illigal aliens from parasitically consuming resources paid for by legal residents the list could go on forever.  these 200 new laws are largely to keep the middle class in line so the rich can continue to be richer. and if you throw out your compter, prepare to be fined. Illinois - what a shithole.
