New Windows!
The old single pane windows.
The new double paned insulated window and patio door.
The front with the new windows.Twenty windows and 4 days later, all have been replaced.
The difference is amazing! No road noise inside and
much better looking from either side.
Money well spent!
Now on to the next project!

Are You Left Brain or Right Brian in Love?
You Are Left Brained in Love |
 When it comes to love, you try to be as rational as possible. Your head doesn't lead you astray. You believe that love should never be blind, and you're not the type to get swept away easily. You are a cool customer when you fall for someone. You are able to look at things directly. You believe the honesty is key to a good relationship. You also try to be dependable and trustworthy. |

Gotta Love'm!
The youngest ultra nephew, just turned 10 years old yesterday. While we are were gathered around the table last week, discussing what he wanted, he replied, " Anything is fine, just remember it is my last week in single digits". That's my nephew!
Happy Birthday Will!
Et Tu Brute?
Sunday afternoon, I'm attending a free show of Julius Caesar in Charlottewith some friends. Followed by martinis at Therapy. I'm excited!
Saturday, I will be attending the finial night at Liaison before they close for good.
I have been going to this bar since the mid 80's. I have many great
memories with friends that are no longer here from there.
It will be a sad night, but also the lunch of a great new venture
in Charlotte, the Art Out of the Closet, opening Gala.
I wish the staff well in their new undertaking and
look forward to seeing my artsy friends make a go
with their new enterprise!

Daddy Update
Well, my father went to the doctor this afternoon. There is actually only one spot on his lung instead of two. The doctor will keep a check on it, but currently doesn't believe it poses a health risk. In six months he will go for another scan to see if it has changed. My father is greatly relieved as are the rest of the family. My parents are celebrating by stopping at a Mexican restaurant on the way home for dinner.Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Thus Far
I've had an interesting time lately. I've been getting out and doing things lately. I've caught up with old friends on Facebook. I'm having a blast and somewhat of a social life after almost 10 years! I forgot what it is like.Last week two of my high school buddies and I got together to see the play "Altar Boys" in Charlotte. It was great fun. We met for drinks at Therapy, (great name for a martini bar), before the show and returned for follow up drinks afterwards. We got caught up with each other's lives and all the gossip we could think of and vowed to do nights out together more often.
I also went out to a bar one of those same friends works at on Saturday nights. Actually a couple of times. I meet interesting people, made new friends, even got a phone number or two.
Sunday afternoon, me and the same friend went to California Pizza for lunch. It was awesome! I've never even heard of it before, but I'm a fan now! I had the 4 cheese pasta dish. It was the best I've ever had. Followed it up with a Chocolate/Banana concoctions that was almost orgasmic! Wonderful time there. After such a sinful meal, we headed over to the cinema to see "G.I. Joe", with some other guys from his weekend bar job. It was a great movie for special effects, a few odd spots that seemed stretched thin, but great action and lots of explosions! It was a great afternoon! I look forward to more of these!
Renovations Update
Today we started replacing the windows. What a chore! It really isn't difficult. Time consuming yes. Difficult, not really. Since, neither I nor my father have every replaced sashes before this is certainly an adventure. The first and only window completed today took 3 hours. The rest shouldn't now that we have an idea of what to do. Only 19 more to go.
Now my parents have decided to remove the ceramic tile from the kitchen/den/laundry area that they paid $3,000 plus materials to install. Great, every time I think the to-do-list is getting shorter they add a major undertaking to it. If all of this gets done before Christmas, I'll be surprised.
School starts for me next week. That cuts out 2 full days a week to devote to any of those projects on top of what ever time is taken up by their doctor's appointment and stuff. At some point, it should be finished. Lord only knows when!

Karma's a Bitch (or the Lord moves in mysterious ways)
My grandfather's younger brother is an odd bird. Once when my grandfather drove down to his house to visit, he wouldn't even open to door. My grandfather was a bit dejected over that, but he tried again later, and stayed till he came out to chat a bit. There wasn't any bad blood between them, his brother is just odd. When my grandfather broke his hip and was recovering at home, I called to inform them. They never visited. When my grandfather took a turn for the worse, and it was clear it wouldn't make it, I called them again. I spoke with his brother's wife. I told her that if they wanted to see him before he passed they needed to come soon. She rattled off a list of things they had to do and couldn't possible stop by. They never visited. They did show up briefly before the funeral service to view the body and sign the guest book. They were leaving as we drove up. They never spoke to any of the family.
I don't harbor any ill will toward them. They are odd, but family is family. Seems karma has repaid them in kind. The wife suffered a heart attack about a week ago and is still in the hospital. Her husband, my grandfather's brother, was leaving from a visit yesterday and fell and broke his hip in the hospital parking lot. Now they are both there, in different rooms. My mother is planning a visit but no one else has of yet. They never had children, guess that is why the hospital called my mother. Karma's a bitch, ain't it.
Altar Boys Opening Night
Two of my high school buddies and I are goingto see this Opening Night!
Drinks at the bar Therapy (how fitting)
