day 8

Sub'ed yesterday and today I'm going to the dreaded Art Teacher spot for half a day. Had fun this morning waking up at 7:15 am when school starts at 7:30. Wife hit the road early and we had to scramble!

day 6

Good news! We won last night, 6-2 and the Tan "Cougars" (I named them last night to stop all the Andrew induced "Spitting Llamas" suggestions!) are now 3-1 and looking good. Now Andrew got this dog the other day, a Jack Russell Terrier aptly named "Bruce Wayne". Guess who's job it is to get up sometime between 3 and 5 am and take the puppy out to the yard for a bathroom break, correct, that would be me! How do I do it, you ask, simple...I drink a diet coke or beer (if I'm feeling sassy) at bedtime and at my age, nature will do the waking up for me.....

day 5

I grew up in New Orleans in the 60's so of course my new favorite show these days is "Treme" on HBO. The first episode has Steve Zhan's character going on about how New Orleans and Louisiana in general were better off when the Mafia ran things and how flooding after Katrina never would have happened with Carlos still at the helm. I remembered living down there during that period and one of my funniest memories was of my football coach, a huge Italian in a neck brace, who also was in a certain organization. I remember him yelling all the time in that New Orleans/Brooklyn accent that they alway get wrong in the movies. No wonder "The Sopranos" always seemed more like a documentary to me!

day 4

I have come to understand that fathers everywhere at one point in the father-daughter relationship become a huge embarrassment to their daughters. I can only guess what Mick Jagger's kids thought of him prancing around the stage in his 60's, just dying of embarrassment while the world thought he was still pretty damn cool. Well these day Madeline has had enough of me walking next to her in public, now I must, as any good servant should, walk at least ten paces behind, only approaching her in public with an open wallet in hand. Such is life......
