While not the last blog post of the year it is my last vacation day of the year. Fear not for me though as the office of “XYZ Corp†is officially closed tomorrow and Wednesday so I shan’t be in the office again until Thursday.
Thanks to some day drinking yesterday watching American football at Midway I landed on the futon and was down for the count for the remainder of the night. As such I didn’t exercise, nor did I sort laundry, so I didn’t make it to the Waschsalon nor did I reward myself with breakfast at Home Grown this morning.
I will give myself kudos in one area — all of my meals on Saturday and Sunday were prepared with ingredients already present in my house.
I’m going to try to turn the rest of it around today, and set a better course for my future.
Ghost week number 2- hardly anyone here, but still getting stuff done. (and goofing off on the blog).
Saturday, got a nice ride in, then watched LSU explain to OSU what SEC football is all about. It was so boring I left in the 3rd quarter to watch the Dog Show from 2018! I stayed to the end of the Clemson – Ohio State game. Thought for the first half that Clem’s son was going to come out on the short end, and was almost proved right until that final interception with seconds on the clock. (shame they both couldn’t lose, but..)
Yesterday we went and visited Debbie’s mom, sister, niece and grand niece. And I didn’t scare the baby, which is the norm. Should have exercise, as by the time we got home, the roads were dry, but was a slug.
Had to detour off 85 this morning. Just got to the end of the on ramp at Exit 51 and the traffic came to a halt. Did a quick U turn up the ramp and up 29. Apparently the backup was short lived, as there was plenty of traffic rolling north when I got back on. Some I even recognized…

Did some bowling practice Saturday with our Guam friends and Bob, Laura & Travis. I sucked, maybe I’ll be better on Wednesday.
Yesterday I met Davey (and Slim & Willie) for a walk around Rottenwood creek, ended up being more mileage that I was planning, about 6.5 miles. My left heel with its plantar Fasciitis is still screaming at me.
Good conversation, we missed a hell of a hash on Saturday morning.
I heard via Bonnie that some declared Saturday’s (very long) hash the best one they did this year.
That would be OU… OSU got ‘splained to by Texas A&M. #okieinatlanta
I was going to make the correction, but knew you’d be along to rectify matters. 😀
Sorry. All you Okies look alike to me! 🙂
Paulie, I see your game is on tonight!
My game is on tonight, though I’ll be hashing so I may not see any of it.
Last week I spent a lot of time on the couch watching Netflix. Binge-watched the miniseries “Unbelievable†and the two-season “The End of the Fucking World.†Both were great, but I especially liked TEOTFW (sans a couple scenes about animals that bothered me). Paulie, no need for you to add either one to your watchlist ;).
After a long day of planned errands in Buckhead and northside today, I’m looking forward to NYE and Cheddar-whatever. Fuckeye just posted an update to bring a headlamp and a change of clothes because it’s going to get dark and wet.
I can tell from the titles alone that they really aren’t up my alley. 😉
Good luck with your errands. Your presence will be missed tonight.
Thanks for that info.
Bonnie, in case you’re interested, here’s the original article from a few years back that Unbelievable is based upon:
https://www.propublica.org/article/false-rape-accusations-an-unbelievable-story
I thought they did a respectable job telling the protagonist’s story. She approved of the series. I’m glad that she found redemption in the end.
Thanks! I was going to look into this.
I read the article when it first came out, and it’s always stuck with me.
that’s a really long article – looks interesting though
It’s one of the most compelling articles I’ve ever read.
headlamp – wonder what tunnels under 75 the trail goes through?
I have a gut feeling, but one never knows!
