DISPATCHES FROM THE GHOST MOOSE

It really poured when I got off the train today.  and no Survivor on tonight.  the next season won't start until the fall...eek...I refuse to look past the summer.   This is a dog who had the best day of their life yesterday.  But then realized today was better.  And that tomorrow would be better than today. Either that, or he realizes he is a dog living a dogs life and every day is just about perfect. That is the way to be.

Back to work day.  and, in keeping with every day being better than the last, I have an end date for my job.  Aug 3....so, I go fishing July 20 to 27, come back for one day and done.  sounds too good...but if it works, that will be primo. looks like the heat is gone...and back to normal temps tomorrow.  and supposed to rain, as if we needed it. have a lovely evening.  and get well, KK.  let's golf as soon as you can.

Thankful for all those who fought for the country.  Under obama Patriotism  became a negative.  But real Americans know what's what.  I have watched 5 episodes of Cobra Kai, the Karate Kid sequel. Kind of lame, and Johnny is a much better actor than Daniel LaRusso.  so now I will switch to bball and hockey.  and work tomorrow.  but, it was a good weekend.  golf Saturday.  that's about all I remember.  Went to the pool about 6 times.  anyway - thanks to the veterans who made this country what it is, and kept it safe for all the parasites who contribute nothing. 

Finally some hot weather.  We played golf last Sunday and it was 40 degrees.  Yesterday it was 90.  Much more fun to golf in the heat.  I drank 2 bottles of gatorade and filled each with water.  A gallon of liquid to keep hydrated. Nice to have tomorrow off.  Things still in a death spiral at work, so my days are numbered...as are everyones.  I have seen that movie so many times it is no longer a shock. and with that, I am going to the store.  then back to the pool.  try not to laugh at this gif

Back in December, I posted the night of the season finale of Survivor.  and here we are again - the season finale once again.  This season was not very good, although I would be hard pressed to tell you when the last good season was.  I believe the show has been on 18 yrs,  and about 35 seasons.  But I will keep watching until the show is cancelled.  The show pairs well with red wine. 80 degrees today, and supposed to be 90 this weekend.  Finally some golf weather.  We are playing Saturday, and I think I will try to play Sunday or Monday or both.  Because I can. Had a wonderful time at dinner last night with an old friend.  I didn't do that enough before, but that is easily changed.  This friend stuck with me through the divorce process, and our conversations the last 2 dinners were so different.  Once you wade through the shit, and you reach the other side, your perspective is forever changed.  I hope that everyone ...

Where does the weekend go...and I had Friday off.   It was quite a good weekend.  Played golf Friday and today.  I am sure it is against golf etiquette, but today we played 9 holes, my 2 golf buds wanted to stop at 9 for a bio break, and let the 4 behind us play through.  I waited at the 10th tee for 10 mins, then went on by myself. I ended up finishing just before the rain, and they got soaked, and had to bail after 16.  Didn't play half bad - of couse when I was playing alone. it's May 20 and the temp was in the 40s for golf.  wtf? Monday awaits. 

It's a Friday, it's sunny, I am off work, and I am playing golf in a scramble at a nice course, and with good golfers on my team.   The only thing that would be better if it was last Monday because then we would all have more days left on our ledger.   ok - that may be taking it a bit too far. now the difficult decisions - if I wear contacts, do I wear sunglasses, or no contacts and my prescription sunglasses?  Hat or no hat?  all these meaningless OCD decisions to make before I step to the tee and swing for the fences  (although that is a baseball analogy and we are golfing), At any rate, those are relatively low stress issues as opposed to the meaningless drama we inject into our work lives. I am generally on the train heading downtown at 7:30 each morning.  I didn't know how bad morning tv is. Lots of love.
