Lazy, hazy days of spring time.

Wow. Gas prices just keep going up... and I hear the song from my childhood ring in my head. Jimmy Crack Corn . I can't say that I remember the last time I've driven my truck, oh wait, it was almost a week ago when I went to our softball game. I must be adding days onto my life. I can't remember a time when I've been so carefree. I often forget my cell phone and don't find it for the whole weekend. I don't think about work until I'm walking there. Often I will go to lunch around town and especially this week with the rain I would sit like this yellow retriever just watching people pass. This guy watches me go to work every day. Quite the "watch dog". He keeps track of those pesky squirles. I'll get mine... he's avoided me so far.. but the summer is young... he'll get his. And he must be talking to those doves. They can take their crap elsewhere, literally. Just get it off the deck. I don't care if it goes on the truck. Just get it off the deck.

A whole weekend with a tacked on "Monday" to follow. This will be the start of FUN. Yeah Clear Channel, how many "federal holiday" days do YOU have coming? And next weekend's the BEACH! Lots of fun!

Little bit of lust...

Oh just a little lust. WOW. It's the new "Blackberry Bold (9000)". Like any "gadget guy", I'm running around with the 8830. That's right, the "World Edition". I prefer the 8703e, but what can you do when work is giving it to you and your current carrier doesn't have it? Well, I lump it. Very nice. I can't wait for a nice phone in a Blackberry device that has a FULL keyboard. I can't stand the "Pearl". It was great for the 4 days that I had it with the camera, but let me tell you, I ended up calling the people I was sending e-mail to because the thing was trying to out-think me. That's crap. I can take your battery out and you'll have NO brain. Just type what I tell you to type. I don't mind the "spell check" on my 8830. That's not too bad or intrusive. Trying to guess what I'm going to type is like a kid's game gone wrong and way too far over the line. If my "Pearl" were a kid, I'd be in jail for the stuff I would've done to it. Aggravating and irritating are just two words that immediately spring to mind. Oh well. All in the past now! Onward and upward.
