Happy Birthday Capn’

Cap is the BIGGEST Springsteen fan I know, so it was only fitting that the Boss played in KC on his actual birthday!!!

The Thunderbirds were swooping around the neighborhood for the KC airshow… Loud jets make it tough to take an afternoon nap!

Did I mention that I now own Nerf Ping-Pong! … Well, I do and I am even more awesome because of it. GARAGE SALES RULE!!!

————————————

I think that work is slowing down a bit… Now that I do not feel like throwing myself out the window each night when I get home I think I will be a bit more interesting on the blog circuit.

The Falcons won the “Leo Invitational Tourney”… They edged the Boilers for the title in a dogfight of a championship series.

Album of the week
In case you didn’t know, the “album of the week” is one vinyl album that I bring into work each week and play on Friday morning.

And wash away this sunny day down to the gutter
I would just to get a change of pace”

So Capn’ got a tattoo last week for his birthday… I took some pictures. I am going to ask him if I can post them.

——————————–

The sound of a fan in the window is one of the greatest things on the Earth… It does not even rank on the list of greatest things on Mars… That place is GREAT.

NASCAR is DUMB

Plans for the ASB Classsic 2009 are under way!!! All of the teams from last year are coming back!!! I am freaking so freaking excited!!! Freaking!!!

I few years ago I was really into watching movies… I am not so much into it anymore.

What happened? Are there no good movies anymore? Maybe.

I hate my Dentist: I feel like that dumb place is milking me for everything I am worth… They said that I would owe $20 for my filling after insurance. I got a bill for $55… This is BULLSHIT… If you ever need a Dentist in KC do NOT go to Dr. Bunton on the plaza.

I was out shopping with Jam and Katy this weekend and came across this patch… I thought it looked BOSS so I bought a shirt and sewed it on last night before bed… Cool right?

Tonight was so nice that I decided to have an Olympic night out on the deck… The moon looks almost full, the locusts are singing and all is quiet in the hood.

It is starting to smell a bit like fall… I am ready.

—————————————

That’s right, Katy came to visit this weekend. It was GREAT to see her!

—————————————

I have been an Olympic-watching machine… Does it make me less of a man because I like watching gymnastics and swimming? … I am so awesome.
