The end of what is easily the best week of my life.  since last week. 

I have 2 interviews next week, and one the week after.  With any luck I will leave this job before my end date.  but after my fishing trip.  and I scheduled knee surgery for June 21, so there will be some down time.  as in down on the couch and not downtown. 

and to revisit the fudgesicle/acid reflux issue, I was in the store yesterday and they were giving out ice cream.  I took a package of triple chocolate, and I know at some point I will open it and eat half.  and swear I will never eat ice cream again.  until fudgesicles are on sale again.  I ate a large bag of potato chips last night, so I am good with those for a few months.  I am due for a chocolate binge soon as well. 

I think I have written of the show Alone before...I was watching tv late last night and saw the first show of the new season was on.....so I watched until 1:30 am.  which is way too late for a work night.  but time well spent.  it was pretty good.  on the other hand, before I noticed Alone was on, I watched the last 3 episodes of season 1 of Cobra Kai - the karate kid sequel.  and it sucked.  the first few episodes were ok, but it went downhill quickly..

at any rate, have a wonderful Friday night, and weekend.  Playing golf Sunday.  and one of these days I will get a hole in one.  none of our group as been close in the years we have been playing together.  I need a dog like this one.

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'...

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?

some things are just to precious for words.....take this story about the budget hole that Illinois is in... http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/illinois/tax-increase-illinois-state-budget-deficit-growing-billions-civic-federation-20110926 here is a quote from a union spokesman about what needs to be done so we, the taxpayer, can continue to be forcibly ass raped into providing ridiculous pensions: AFSCME wants to amend the Illinois Constitution, replacing the state's flat tax with a graduated income tax. All who now pay tax hand over 5 percent of their income. The union envisions high-earners paying a lot more. "We need to look at a progressive amendment to the constitution that will allow the state to tax the rich, make the wealthy pay their fair share for the first time," AFSCME spokesperson Anders Lindall said. "We could also look at corporate income taxes. Right now, many small businesses feel that the tax burden falls too heavily on them." So, ...
