Today is the parade or whatever the celebration for the Chicago Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup is called. I cannot think of anything more awful. I have seen some video and photographs of the tens of thousands of people there and don't really know what they get out of it. Maybe 2% of the people there will see anything other than the back of somebody else's head. I am as excited as anyone of the winning of the cup. I have been a Hawks fan since I have liked hockey back in the 70's. While in college we probably went to about eight or nine games a season. We even went to see a game in St. Louis and one in Philadelphia but that was to games where we could see something. Maybe I am just old now and think about the driving in there and trying to find a parking spot for which I will pay way too much for and then not being able to see anything and getting beer spilled on me and have somebody screaming in my ear and then fighting Friday traffic (with the added Hawks traffic) to come back home. And then having to try a bathroom. I still am not sure why public urination is a crime! Or riding the train with a bunch of drunks and that one dude who throws-up on my shoes... Maybe if I didn't have such a vivid imagination I would enjoy life a little more huh?
I am already second-guessing no longer doing Dirty Laundry Podcast. It is mainly a hardware issue I think and getting a new MAC, though somewhat pricey, would solve most of the issues. There are pros and cons both ways. Just stay tuned - I have a feeling we will be back before you know it.
I just heard that Queen Elizabeth is getting a raise in 2014. Her pay will go from $55,000,000 to $57,700,000. That is the equivalent $87,883,089.79 in U.S. dollars (as converted at blog time). I know the Royal family and their home... are the reason for most of the tourism in England but that's a lot of coin for having your butt smooched all of the time. I would do that job for far less money. Just to live in the palace and wear those clothes (I don't look very good in pill-box hats though)and drive those cars...
It's 5 PM on your Friday so you are starting your weekend now most likely while I get ready to head into my Tuesday morning. I know I gripe about that all the time but it makes me feel better somehow to complain. It must be that way for most of us because we all feel like we need to complain about thing. Why is that? I don't feel better after I complain yet I still feel like I need to complain. Isn't that the definition of insanity? Now it all makes sense. I am gonna head out. Thanks a lot for stopping-by. You know I appreciate you. I just heard that over 2,000,000 people showed up for the Blackhawks celebration. Could each and every on of those people just send me $1.00 so I could get a really kick-ass studio and get the podcast going again? Have a great Frinight. I will probably blog again over the weekend. TTTThen....MITM (father of the briding) OUT!
