Good News!

No, I'm not going to tell you how your eternal soul is going to be saved. Got no idea on that one, no sir.

However, there has been too much navel-gazing negativity on here lately. So today we will concentrate on happy things.

The new cats are making slow but sure progress adjusting to their new home.

Curling season starts tomorrow for the Mrs. and I, it'll be good to see our curling friends on a regular basis again. The game itself will be even more of an adventure than usual since I haven't set foot on the ice in 6 months. Sorry in advance about that Aaron.

Fall is a great season. Good sleeping weather.

WFMU is having "Singles Going Steady" week to promote the record fair this weekend with many DJ's playing nothing but old-fashioned 45 RPM records. A lot of fun shows so far this week.

The Habs are off to a good start. The Rangers are up and down but not terrible.

See, there's plenty going on to distract or detract from the creeping doom. The ceaseless ticking of the clock. The knowledge of one's own mortality.

Aw see? I stop concentrating for a minute and this post goes all Goth chick or something. Let's try that again:

See, there are plenty of things going on to make life joyful and wondrous, filled with rainbows and unicorns. Wait a minute, unicorns don't exist. Better cross them out. Wait, how do I go back and do that? What's the HTML coding again? Dammit, why can't I get this happy crap right, stupid blogger templ...

Ahem.

See, there are plenty of things going on to take your mind of the slow decline into..

NOW CUT THAT OUT STUPID VOICE IN MY HEAD CONTROLLING MY HANDS TYPING ON THE KEYBOARD!!! As Homer J. Simpson once said, "Look brain, you don't like me and I don't like you. So let's just figure this out and then I'll go back to killing you with alcohol. Deal?"

Now.

See, there are plenty of things to fill your life with happiness and wonder. The furry warmth of a beloved pet, the joy of spending time with friends and family, and the unparalleled beauty of nature. So get out there and live, live to the fullest!

(Now where's my freakin' bourbon, fat boy? Hey, you weren't supposed to type that. Well I did, what are you going to do about it? Must hit "publish post" now....stop madness....)

If unicorns don't exist then where do rainbows come from? I was told that unicorns fart rainbows.

Very cute kitties! Do they have names yet? Perhaps jh & Mrs jh can introduce their new addition to yours and lots of pits & cratching will ensue! Maybe not.

...And Clubs

Just saw this item in a sports business trade newsletter: "Golf Digest has released its ranking of the Top 15 golfing presidents with President-elect Barack Obama occupying the 8 th spot, between Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan. The top-five golfing presidents, as determined by their handicap index, were John Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Franklin Roosevelt and George H.W. Bush (Golf Digest)." That's a terrible joke to make about FDR. Golf Digest, shame on you.

Drift

More than halfway done but still a decent amount of time (4 weeks) to go. The constant fatigue at this point gives life a soft-edged glow and the vague feeling of being adrift, floating, with occasional waves of panic crashing over one's head that are registered and reacted to and then distracted away by something because it's too tiring to be panicked for too long. Somebody's really warping that fucking plastic blue ring though.  I'm not getting it close to back to round anymore. Different guy handled my transport this morning.  An ex sales guy who talked way too fucking much and interrogated me about my life.  Eventually I took my phone out and pretended I was answering work e-mails.  I like my regular driver, a retired, blue collar guy who when we drive by this place says things like "Man, a life-sized fucking gorilla don't come cheap". Otherwise we might chat about whatever nonsense is on the sports talk radio or the wacky morning DJ's he s...

This is a Sweetmeal Digestive Biscuit . It is the finest cracker I have ever eaten. I love it with either a bit of mild blue cheese (which unfortunately for me they only identify as "blue mould cheese" on the buffet) or on its own. It is delicious, and I will be harassing my nephew who is currently in the UK for the summer to bring some back for me as I don't think they're easily found in the US. What else have I been eating? Well, finally had some reindeer filet last night. Looks like beef, is tender like filet mignon but has a slightly stronger beefy flavor. Still, if I told you it was cow you'd probably believe it. The difference is subtle. It was served with a "potato cake", really scalloped and gratined potatoes formed into a square and a berry (forgot which one) sauce. Enjoyed that dish at the Glenfiddich restaurant in Gamla Stan which besides obviously having a wide selection of single malts claimed to serve the largest variety of Swedish microbre...
