Blogging's What I Like to Do

Good day to you! I was going to blog yesterday but I was able to spend the day with Jill and I knew she would be working today and I would have to work another mandatory twelve-hour overtime day tomorrow so, I had better blog today. It's nice getting the paychecks for the weeks where I get an additional 12 hours of pay at time-and-a-half but it wipes me out. If they call mandatory again next week it will be for Sunday and that will sadden me because that's usually the only day Jill and I get to spend together. I can try to find someone to swap days with but that is usually close to impossible. Also, next week Fabio asked me if I want to go to the Chicago Bulls' game with him on Monday night. We got him the tickets for Christmas and I didn't imagine he would ask me to go with him. I am delighted that he did though. I think they are playing the Boston Celtics. And, the day after that, is the anniversary of my mom's birth.

I'll be right back the dryer is signalling that the load of clothes is ready to be folded.

That photo of  Doc up there made me remember something that Jill and I did a bit yesterday morning. We watched several episodes of Queer Eye on Netflix. I had never watched the show before but it drew me in. I remember that it used to be called Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and I see that they also help people who are not straight now. I imagine that is the reason for the new abbreviated name of the show. I have always had and still do have many gay friends but, for some reason, there always seemed to be something else to watch or something else to do. Anyway, after watching the shows, I decided to shave my mangy, gray beard off yesterday. I look about twenty years younger but I still didn't get carded at Red Lobster yesterday. Maybe that is because if I took twenty years off of my actual age I would still be old enough (with interest) to legally drink alcohol in our broken state of Illinois.

I just looked at the rosters for both the Bulls' and he Celtics' teams and I do not know one player on either team. Where are Michael Jordan and Larry Bird and Scottie Pippin? I don't really follow basketball anymore but I remember the days when players would remain with the same teams for decades. Now, I am sure, it is all about the big money that professional athletes can get with bonuses and endorsements if they play with certain teams and such. They pay NBA players as well as they do college players these days I bet.

I think I am going to reorganize my closet today. I really need to quit watching Queer Eye because it seems to be influencing me too much in the proper direction. I gave Fabio the dresser I used in my closet and now the closet just seems to be unorganized.

I watched Norm MacDonald's stand-up comedy show called Hitler's Dog, Gossip and Trickery on Netflix last night (I seemed to be spending a lot of time on Netflix doesn't it?). One of his jokes that struck me as particularly funny was when he talked about the word/abbreviation I.D. for the abbreviation identification. He questioned the basic concept of abbreviations by saying something like I stands for I and D stands for dentification and that doesn't really make sense. I do not believe dentification is even a word since he brings it up. I recommend the show and I know comedy from working at Zanies Comedy Nite Club for many years and this is funny but, as with much comedy, it is not for all ages. And one point I laughed so hard that tears came out of my eyes from laughing so hard when he started talking about the first space mission to the moon.

I think I may go over and get a haircut because I am not sure when I get my next day off of work. My best guess is that I will get a day off next Monday and Tuesday off? If that happens, other than for a few hours tonight, I will not see Jill until probably a few hours on Tuesday.

I should learn to write shorter blogs but as soon as I begin writing I am too lazy to stop. My laziness for blogging has ended and I will wrap this up. Have a great day and maybe I will be able to blog again sometime in March. I do appreciate your patience and loyalty. TTT?...MITM (out) TA!
