| I'm alive and well. Just been busy lately and haven't had a chance to do some moderate reflection. I'd promise updates, but they'll come as they will. Happily busy I am.

| Thursday - no work, easy, relaxing day...
- After determining I was due for a load, decided to go home for laundry. Bowser came along to toss and play games.
- Hmmmm....tossing a softball is only fun for so long...let's revive to good 'ole NES!
- As usual, it doesn't quite work.....even after all the guaranteed methods like holding the reset button, blowing the cartridge, and banging the case.
- I know! Let's see what makes it work!
- ....About twenty screws later, we've reduced the venerable grey box into a basic motherboard and a few wires.
- Eureka!! We've figured it out! We OWN you, NES!!
- ...On to the adventures of Link in the ORIGINAL Legend of Zelda!
- Bleary-eyed....tossed some more until laundry was done.
- Back out to my pad, free dinner with the 'rents. For Bowser and Air-on too.
- Joined by b_yimmm, and later by Mikeniffer.
- What to do.....I know! Let's play catch. In the dark. Don't worry, I have one of those bright yellow balls.
- I can't see! I can't see!! Where's the ba---OUCH! Oh. Uh, guys.....not such a bright idea. But we continue anyways and scare a young raccoon in the process.

| The day I'm set and pumped to start jogging again, it rains. Ah well, spent 40 min on the rower. I'll try again tommorrow.
I will be successful!

| THINK: Did someone get saved or did God do something awesome today around lunch time?
...I don't know what it was, but I felt like celebrating for no apparent reason. I was gonna break out into the Happy Song and Undignified but I was already at work and that would've scared some folks.
Let me know! | | |
| I spontaneously skipped the tail-end of work today because...
I got Platinum tickets to the Raptors game!! WOW!
Very out of the blue...
Mikey: Hey, what are you doing?
Me: I'm at work; what's up?
Mikey: Wanna go see the Raptors' game?
Me: Not much of a fan...and I get off at 8:30.
Mikey: They're PLATINUM tickets...
Me: Really? hmmm...okay let me see what I can do...
...
Me at work: Errr....I'm gonna take the rest of the evening off. I just got invited to go watch the game with platinum seats. I'll take it as ELP (Emergency Leave-Personal)
Boss: Well, I can't say no if it's ELP. 
...
Mikey: I'll be there in 10 min.
Me: GAH!
Raptors lead for the ENTIRE game, except for the LAST 3 MIN.....stupid raptors...give up the lead! We lost by 2 I think.
But PLATINUM is the way to go! Free food....hot dogs, chicken fingers, candy, pop, alcohol, ice cream...and best of all, it's all SERVED! Oh yeah, sitting 3 rows back from the court doesn't hurt.
Platinum is the way to go...Thanks Casino Rama! (Not mine, comped tickets from the Aunt and Uncle.)
