Year End

I don’t really have too many ideas for year ending posts… I would like some ideas, I just don’t have any. Here is all I remember from 2004 in no particular order.
Working, Going to Rezi shows, Moving, and Driving.
I’m in NY. I’ve been in NY since Friday. Tomorrow I am heading to the Capital Region (Gloversville/Saratoga) for some Rezi shows at Zacquor (12/30, 12/31) and to visit the old working place, and to see Kate and the baby.
I’ll be driving back on Saturday and will stop here in Holley to pick up Meg and the rest of my other crap and then hit the rest of the road onwards back to Michigan.
It’s been an entertaining week. I got to see some family members I hadn’t seen in a while. I got to see some friends I hadn’t seen in a while. I shot some pretty mean darts at C&S. I got dealt some pretty decent Euchre cards. Not much else exciting happened.
Have a good one.
In NY

Oh NY. After six hours in the car and only 1 stop I landed in Buffalo around 2:30 PM. I visited with my sister and her friend Kate and we gossiped about all you people reading this now and more. Even those who don’t know who to read. And especially the ones that don’t follow sentence structure or grammar rules. Her roomates are in a tiffy but whatever. We went to eat at some Greek place and my poor ass was treated to lunch by my sister who for once makes more money than me cause I am poor. I know I repeated poor in that sentence on purpose. So anyway we went back to her apartment and yakked more about all those losers in Holley who are still in Holley and about the few of us who actually have gotten out and have moved on to better things in life, even if that means sitting around for 70 days being unemployed and poor. It’s still better.
So it got dark, like it does every day, and I decided it was a good time to hit the road and head over to my parents house which was about another hour east. I had no problems finding my way out of the edges of Buffalo and took the thruway to the Pembroke exit. I busted down Oakfield/Alabama road or whatever it is and jetted through Clarenon on 237. I beeped my horn past the houses I knew and went home and met my parents new cat. It doesn’t have a name yet. The dog and cat seem to get along quite well. The cat owns jerry. They get along really well. Jerry licks it and the cat doesnt care. When the cat is playing it will sneek up on him and try to get his tail. She also gets up on two legs and punches him the face with her other two front paws. He backs away. I want to make a video, its funny. I tried to call my friend Tom Harrington but I guess I don’t have his phone number in my new phone. It was in the calls list and I tried to get into my online account at my cell company but I haven’t logged in yet and when I called their system was down or something. Oh well, next time. It’s probably a good thing I am not out staying up late tonight. Well, time to go brush these teeth and pass out watching sportscenter. Later.
Hit the Road Time

It’s just about time to take the first bms tour of the year with this morning being the kick start. I’m off to Buffalo to visit my sister and then on to Holley to see the folks and watch the dog whimper over the new cat. Then tommorrow it will be time to witness the nuptials of Sir Thomas Stanton and Jamie Vendetti of Holley High School fame. Then onward to Oneonta for a Halloween dose of Rezi and a visit to the Oneonter boys. Then come Monday it will be high time to get back Jack to Michigan in time to enter my swing vote in Tuesday’s election. Yee-haw skadoodle. Maybe I’ll check in from the road. Adios.
Destination Reached

Team Penske has touched down in Mt Pleasant MI and has arrived. The apartment is sweet. So much nicer than the last one. It’s the little things that make us happy. You know, like cupboards, windows, driveways, garages, closets, and lots and lots of space to breathe. In that picture below, at that intersection we are below the softball field in the bottom left, so to the left of where that red pin is. That house has two apartments and we are on the left hand side. My parents and Joanna took off about an hour or so ago and we are doing some things and then taking the truck back. I’ll have to post some pictures later on to give you an idea. Not very much is setup yet.. but.. we have time. Anyway, thank you to everyone for supporting us. This is a big change for us. We are a little farther away from everyone than we would have liked but… that just means you have to come visit us more. Alright, time to try out the shower.
Getting Older?

Nah. Well. Technically yes. I can’t believe my sister Colleen graduates from college this weekend.
It seems like only yesterday I was holding her under water at Gene’s Quarry. Or nutmegging her with my soccer moves and running circles around her in the back yard. Or watching her put a snow suit on in the middle of the summer to rescue our dog who was trapped by his chain in a bees nest. We ha
But we both got older. I went on to college. She finished high school and then traversed into the college world. We both had our struggles with adjustment, who doesn’t? It’s normal. Now four years later, she’s graduating with a degree in English. She still can’t decide if she wants to continue with schooling on a graduate level or get started on her career. She still doesn’t know what she wants to do for a career, but neither do I.
It’s all happening Sunday. She’s graduating from Lemoyne College in Syracuse and the next step for all of us is still yet to be determined. It will be exciting. My parents and my grandmother will be there along with my aunt Cathy and Margie. I’m sure we’ll go out to eat a few times. I’m sure I can sneak a little Saturday night Laker action into the mix as well. I’m sure my dad won’t stay awake, but I’ll have to wake him if its close near the end.
Congrats Colleen! and good luck with whichever step you take next. I’ll be watching!
