There's no need for you to say you're sorry. Goodbye I'm going home ...

Ah what a day, validate my reason for living. Come to find out it's about simplifying complex stuff down to the lowest common denominator so that those who are less familliae with the underlying data can ... can ... I make pretty pictures out of numbers.

It was great to have a bunch of people commend your work. So much so that I stayed late to get through some backlog that came up as I was finishing my weekly report for the ... for the ... My pretty pictures.

So far so good, now on to the train at 727 and home so I can see what else I need to do. Sad isn't it?

"Should have been easier by three. Our old friend fear, and you, and me."

Because the world is round it turns me on ...

Don't worry this is only a test. If it works it should make it much easier to blog from the iPhone.

Cheers

On the iPhone, "Because" by the Beatles

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream ...

Gotta go with it this week. Found out that I have hit 15 pounds lost since the car was destroyed. Need to go buy size 34s (34 x 32 for anyone who cares ;) ). Kids having fun all night at A and B's house then Y camp swimming. Kris and I saw "I love you man" yesterday and I would recommend it with the exception of the puking scenes. Our audio was bad in the theater so we got 4 free tickets. Kudos AMC. you retained our $.

iPhone says "Gin and Juice" by Snoop Dog

" With so much drama in the LBC it's kinda hard being Snoop D-O-double-G."

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face. Stars to fill my dreams ...

It's been non stop at work and the kids are on spring break this week. Kris has exercises at the Y while kids at camp and is seeing the rewards from all the cakes she made for the fund raiser. Kids at Spring Break Y camp this week as well.

Questions are flying in the valley due to the facebook redesign. But more ominous and far more worrisome is the fact that many of OUR PARENTS ARE JOINING FACEBOOK. The proverbial shark jumping moment. I am sure the Tweens and Twentys were quaking in their baggy jeans and micro minis when I joined two years ago. But like Xcite, Yahoo, Google and MySpace there is nowhere to run and hide ... Right now. Give it a few, "Do you have to use such language?" posts on your wall to see how fast it happens. Twitter is an alternative but not as rich. Which seems to be the way social web is moving. Pretty soon it will be like the joke where inmates at the state penn tell jokes by shouting out a number as everyone knows them all. I can see it now a website call "OnOrOff" where people communicate in binary messages of 150 characters or less.

0100110101101000110110101000010101101011010100101001010001010100010101

Ah well, some can tell a joke and some can't.

iPhone says, "Lunch Lady Land" by Adam Sandler

"Well yesterday's meatloaf is today's Sloppy Joes. And my breath reeks of tuna and there's lots black hair coming out of my nose."

Barking Incessantly

I owe the title today to Kris who read me a cartoon from the New Yorker. Two dogs are talking and one says, "Yeah, I used to blog but it got old. I think I'll go back to my first love, barking incessantly."

You blog to pass the time, to tell the world your story, to take a side, or just to keep your head from exploding. What comes out may occaisionally be entertaining but more often it's just words of no lasting impact. I enjoy doing this but I don't think y'all are interested in, as Joe Strummer said at the Us Festival, "This and that and what's up my ass." (Family excepted mom I see you.)

"Now you don't have to call me darlin, darlin."

There's a red moon rising on the Cuyahoga river, rolling in to Cleveland to the lake ...

Sunny and COLD! Geez can't we just get to spring? Time change made the morning ride a very cold one even though it's totally clear. Reminded me, only slightly, of the ride to school in Japan although it was much colder there. Just above freezing as I recall.

Weekend was good, Amelia can count to 100 in Spanish. Jackson is working in math facts 8x6,8x7,6x7,7x7 seem to be the toughest so far.

Ok I have nothing else today so ... Top 5 , current, favorite reality TV shows:

5. Dog the Bounty Hunter - Can't .. Not ... Watch. Must be the last vestiges of redneck in me.
4. Deadliest Catch - Mike Rowe's voiceover work, nuff said.
3. Mythbusters - screw you it's made in SF, that's my reality.
2. American Chopper - Really, workboot wearing, cycle ridding, upstate NYers. I went to school with those guys! ... "fabrication"
1. Ace of Cakes - For no other reason than it's Kris' reason for trying to make her cakes.

"Call someplace 'paradise', your kissin' it goodbye."

White riot, I want a riot, white riot, a riot on my own ...

Hi-ho crime stoppers!

A day where it rained and still was a good morning and a good afternoon. Accomplished stuff and worked hard all week. Amelia be Kris are off to Alvin Ailey (Eh-ley,Aylee,Alley,Aillee?) Dance in SF courtesy of aunt Kama and J has his first Coach Ken Baseball practice tomorrow. Must be spring. I have no weekend plans as it is usually planned out for me.

Sydney is hurt. He did something to his paw and has completely shut down until he feels better. I took him to the vet last night and two shots later (and a humiliating shave of his back right paw) we went home. Today I hear he hasn't moved. Good for him except for the inability to get food. We plan on getting the tuna out for him tonight. Hopefully some comfort food will be appetizing.

Good weekend see you Monday.
