Uneven stevens

Hello..


Get it?
A second after I posted my first note this morning the technician for my door came and started to drill me with questions; so I answered every one of them and when he was satisfied with the answers, he proceeded to look at the issue. Door is not aligned correctly, he said. Well what a beeping genius! That’s the reason I called for; now can you fix it, I asked. No sooner I had stopped having this conversation in my head than the guy was tearing through the work that was originally done. Then he started to use a thingamajig to lift up the door and stick pieces of wood in different cracks; when he was satisfied he put back everything back like it was before and he proceeded to get the F out of here. But coming back from his truck, the door jammed again. Took off his coat again and started to talk with the door opener guy who told him that the problem probably lied with old man winter raising the door frame and unleveling (it's a word) the door with the door latch. My guy didn't buy it and started destroying the other half of the door frame. Needless to say, his boss made him understand that the issue was fixed as good as it could be seeing that winter threw in a wrench into the issue; plus he needed to get to the other job he had to do. So now I got a door that closes better but once in a blue moon I will have to close it properly… I don’t know what to think of all of this….somehow I should be happy but I’m not…



Take care folks…

Captains log 2550, life is the same.

Hello…

Wishing you well from my hell hole…

No I am not depressed, suicidal or anything negative.. It just came out like that…

So I’m all bundled up waiting for the people to come and repair the door that was just put in last fall. Thank God that thing still under warranty, I would hate to cough up some dough for the repairs; specially there’s never enough dough to go around….In other news, my mother is moving into my building! Yup, apparently she has given her lease termination where she’s at and will move into a smaller apartment on the same floor as I; just a couple of doors from my place…. It’s going to be good to see her again, but I can’t deny it, it will be weird…

Any hoot, that’s my story so far…


Take care folks…

Frozen thoughts from up north

Hello…

Here I was minding my own business on Facebook when I saw a post from one of the site I follow…the weather channel… so it picked my curiosity because it was informing me that even dough February seem to be less cold than the previous batch of temperature that we were having, winter is not over. The minus gazillions seem to have been finished, obviously there is always the exception to the rule. But in general, no more penguin dreams, it’s all uphill from here…or is it…. Well no the article stipulates that although the cold seem to be a thing of the past, for the moment, February will be a snow month; and it starts this Saturday with a non-chialant 5 to 10 centimeters followed by a respectable amount of snow come Wednesday; something like 15 to 20 centimeters of the beautiful white crap… Seriously, haven’t we been punished enough?! And apparently this is just the beginning, there will be more snow squalls before this winter is over, somebody out there should invent the laser snow removal truck; It would make life more bearable, and fun, here north of the 49th parallel…..


Take care folks…

Reflections of a dying man

Hello…

Big weekend ahead folks, my sister-in-law, wife of my brother, is turning the big 5 0!... wow, I remember when she was wearing pony tails and she was full of hope and dreams… Now don’t get me wrong here, she probably still wants to do something big in her life, all I am saying is that when you are young all your dreams are innocent and full of vibrato… at our age we no longer have innocent dreams but practical ones… I dream that one day I’ll set foot on mars and be the first handicap guy to be there; now I know that’s not going to happen so I’ll settle for a quick end of winter… see? Practicability, nothing wrong with watering down your dreams. I once dreamt of hitting the jackpot and becoming super rich; well now I’ll be happy to hit 2 number so I can collect 10 bucks to finance my next lottery adventure. I’m pretty sure that one day I’ll be just happy with breathing in air but until that day comes, I’ll be OK with a warm cup of coffee at night…


Take care folks…

Hey! I'm still here...

Hello…

Howdy folks, hope all is well with you all…

So yes, I’ve been in silent mode lately with my blog. It all has to do with me analyzing my life and what I have done with it and what I can accomplish now… it’s dark and gloomy people, dark and gloomy…but on with the show…

So today I went to the CMR to have my tilting mechanism fix, again, and they didn’t have the piece. Plus, the head mechanic was royally pissed because it was the 3rd time I go there for the similar problem; he was furious. He immediately called the manufacturer of the wheelchair to chastise him over such a crappy product; he wanted action fast and should this happen to me or any other handicapped brother or sister, there would be repercussions… I on the other hand was working on a song reminiscence of Weird Al Yankovic: “The story of my wife”… It will become a classic folks, all you men can sing it inside when your significant other is letting you have it….

“…The story of my wife she makes me mad, she makes sad and wonder why inside, the woman still around…”

This obviously has to be sang to my daughter’s favorite boy band’s, One Direction, song The story of my life… needless to say that I waited so long for my bus that I had time to make different variations of this song to fit all type of persons your better half represents: Mother, Wife, Mother-in-law, sister-in-law… you name it, I did it… I feel better now…


Take care folks…

Misplaced dreams

Hello…

Detective morning for me this morning, my wife found a check, it had a name and I was given the task to find out who it belonged to since the person who lost it probably was a bum from the streets and was counting on this money to pay for that all important heart surgery he was saving for…. It was that big of a check, $1000, yes well, surgery is free here in Canada… this is how my wife felt when bestowing upon me the mission to find the person who lost the check… as if I don’t have better things to do….

So after about an hour of searching the Net, having called a restaurant (ST-Hubert BBQ), having found the address of the person who lost the check and finally having contacted the guy who is selling this guy’s mansion, because compare to my 5 ½ his place is a mansion I considered this matter closed; at this point I like to point out that it’s been a couple of hours and he hasn't called back.


I did my job, so Universe take notice when distributing Karma….

Harry who?

Hello…           

Good day people…

So, I was ready to give up on American Idol this season, too many talent shows if you want my opinion, and besides, save a few do they really become super famous? No, not really… so Randy Jackson was the last of the original judges that was leaving; that probably meant that one of its original viewers was also calling it quits. So long AI number five.. thousand… time for me to look for greener pastures; something like X factor where the winners of the show hardly make a noise either… 

So AI was gone but then I got a hold of who the new judge was going to be, Harry Connick, Jr. interesting… one of my favourite Jazz singer … I got to see the show… So I started watching the new season with one hand on the remote just in case it was going to be the same as always and I needed to change the channel. But then I started to see what Harry brought to the dying show and it was hilarious… the guy is down to earth and extremely funny; okay just funny, but Keith Urban and harry make a good comedy team reminiscence of Abbot and Costello. So I got hook on the show again just to see what Harry is going to do that week… I think the creators of the show did breathe new life into the dinosauric show….let’s hope X-Factor learns from this…

Take care folks…

A quick note to reassure you

Hello…

So another cold and sunny day here today….I, of course, I’m grounded due to this; no going out for me folks. But other people are taking advantage of weather such as this to have a winter time out. My nurse just informed me that next week it will be another person coming because she is off to Cuba. Good for her I say, she gets some well-deserved R&R while others stick around and hold the fort…. Bitch….no no, I am happy for her, she does a fine work and if she can afford to go and say hi to the Castro kids, more power to her; but I swear if I become a millionaire one day, I’m going to Vegas…

Other news, my regular guy is a no show today. Strange, because I know he usually tells me that he won’t be around such and such day, but today I found out through a call given by his boss…. This is definitely things that make you go “ummm”; at least in my world….


Any hoot, have a great Thursday, enjoy the day/afternoon’/night…

Saving a stash of cash

Hello…

Happy thoughts from my brain to yours…

So I’m in this new saving plan that was explained to me by my financial guru Virgin radio Montreal, and seeing how it has been successful so far I’ll like to share my story so that you too can benefit from it. Well successful is a quoted word as I just started and I got until the end of the year until reaping its benefits; and mind you I might just dip into its purse already with promises that I will put it back but all in all I think I have something good here that if I stick to it I will get a nice amount of money for pennies a day.  I call this plan the TULSP funds, short for The Ultimate Loser Saving Plan, and if you follow the instructions you too can benefit by Christmas time. Here’s how it works!



  • You put 1 dollar, peso, real, dinar whatever a week and increase its amount by the number of weeks by the end of the year you should have something like $1300 denomination of your country saved up and you won’t even feel a pinch in your pockets….


Comprende amigo? No?! Okay look at the below: 

  • You start putting away $1 dollar for the first week of the year (because it’s the first week), the second week you add $2 dollars to your piggy bank because it’s week number 2; then week number 3 roles by and you put 3 dollars in your saving stash, so 3 weeks have gone by and your savings are already at $6 dollars in 3 weeks.


Needless to say that the most money you’ll ever put away in your savings will be $52 dollars on week 52, you should have save a nice bundle of over $1300 dollars by the end of it all just in time for your well-deserved winter timeout…. So go nuts and start savings…..
 
 
Hope to see you in my next life strategy seminar…as if….

Quantum Cappuccino

Hello!

Going out in -20c weather in a wheelchair with tilting mechanism broken?----- Checked!!


Yeah science!

I was watching a quantum mechanics program and they were talking to a leading professor in this field. They were interviewing him in Vienna; in a coffee shop drinking cappuccino with a Viennese pastry. I MUST HAVE THIS! So of to the batmobile I went, got dressed up, prepare everything and off I went. Weather wise, I didn't find it to be as cold as New Year’s Eve and the roads are pretty good so my drive was pretty easy going there; the coming back part was a bit tricky. I was coming the same way I had gone just to make sure, but it seems that somehow it’s not the same. I don’t know what I hit but I almost tilted myself to the floor; even a guy got off his car to make sure I was OK. I told him not to worry that I was superman and that it was nothing but a mere scratch. So I kept on going and lo and behold, I am having a Tassimo cappuccino and a chocolate and cranberry bar; I know, it’s not Vienna but it’s the closest thing….



Take care folks…

Sister Mary Joseph McCarthy

Hello…

Good day to you all… freaking freezing in my neck of the woods, something like minus a gazillion degrees…. But life goes on…

Representation of sis McCarthy
So I watched some more soap opera yesterday and it was BORING! What the hell happened?! It was going good with killing left and right, and yesterday? DEFLATION! Kinda like you go out to a bar at night and then you see this hot chick and you make eye contact; you’re all excited about the possibilities and then you walk towards her. As you get closer and closer you start noticing imperfections with her; but you cannot stop, you’re going on a dare fueled by alcohol…. It gets better you say to yourself, but it doesn't.  Then it’s too late and you have to excite yourself to be able to complete the task at hand… fuck me, you whisper out loud, loud enough that she hears this and lets out a sexy yet scary “I will” towards you… there’s no turning back, best you can do is think about sister Mary Joseph McCarthy, your third grade teacher, who you thought was the sexiest woman in the world….All goes blank from that moment on…

And that’s what I thought of my experience watching the Mexican soap opera last night…..it was a bad night for TV watching….I would rather forget it…


Take care folks….

Things happen when you pay attetion

Hello!

Ignore the dumb kid in front
I’m back!!! Actually, I never made it…. I didn't go it was a case ID10T; next Monday…But folks, I am one of those that believes shit happens for a reason. Today that reason was disguise as my helper that comes and helps me when in need. When she’s about to leave she’s all yacking away on projects she does around her house and blah blah blah.. My patience was running low, I hate idle chit chat when it does not include me as a primary subject; but a voice in my head was going “chill, she helped you now it’s your turn to help her by listening blah blah blah….” Stupid schizophrenic voice…So I heard what she had to say and then I don’t know why but she informed me that she was a carpenter by profession….!!!!!!!!... “You carpenter stuff?”  I asked, she nodded her wobbly little head and a trumpet went off in my head. I found someone that can fix my crucifix from Mexico that I busted so long ago! It is a work of art people; I got this before ever setting eyes on my wife. It kinda represents my life, the cross all twisted, and (at that time) Christ ruling over it. Now it’s more of my life and the Universe making my twisted life better… But ignoring what this crucifix  represents, I'll probably have it back fixed and all… 

Yay Universe! You did it again….now about that lottery...


Take care folks…

PS I hope my wife didn't throw it away because I'll be slightly irritated to put it mildly...

The Rise and Shine post

Hello!

Good morning to you all…

Early ride to the CMR to fix my wheelchair, wonder who will ride the special bullet proof bus with me this morning……. Well if it’s interesting, you’ll be the first to find out.

Went to bed late yesterday, again; once again it’s that Spanish Breaking Bad soap opera… I have definitely have to start cooking meth or transporting drugs….My life is kinda boring compare to Walts and La Mexicana…But they don’t have a motorized wheelchair, so I win!

Not looking forward to going out apparently is cold out there, it seems the spring like weather we had last week is gone and we are back to bone chilling temperatures for the rest of the season. Only 2 more months of this then it’s spring….. And I got plans for this summer, so hurry up Mother Nature and bring on summer!!

I’m off to rest before leaving here, my farming is done and my wars have been executed…..


Take care folks….

Living on water and cookie dough

Hello!

Happy Sunday folks….

I’m pooped this morning, went to bed at 3:00AM watching TV…. And in the immortal words of Roger Murtaugh: “I’m too old for this shit…”

You see folks, during the Christmas season we discovered Netflix and we started to watch my kids TV shows: Breaking Bad and The WalkingELL Dead. Needless to say Santa and Mrs Claus didn't get much sleep. At the same time, my mother-in-law was watching a program very similar to Breaking Bad but in Spanish; and with a chick. The story line is similar, a normal person decides to take a chance in the drug world and against all chances they succeed; and they succeed big time. So my wife asked me that she would like to have the DVD set for Christmas, luckily Amazon had the set, 2 DVDs, so I got them for her. We started seeing the program and we got hook on it… we can’t put it down… we are 4 or 5 DVDs away from finishing, thus my early morning going to bed…. BTW, the show is called: La Reina del Sur.,, The Latin American Walt Whitman….

Take care folks…


PS I started this post in the morning, but stopped due to my TV session with La Mexicana Mendoza…

I AM CANADIAN

Hello!

I was only going to post once today but several comments on a picture that I shared on Facebook demanded that I cleared the air of any doubts that it (picture) might have triggered.

2 flags means 2 Canadians
Do the math!
The persons that became Canadian on that photo were my wife and my kid. My other kid and I are fully Canadians; her by birth and me because I've been here since 1976 and have been a Canadian since May 1981! That’s 33 years of Canucking around! I have only returned once to my country of origin and this was 20 odd years after never having set foot there. Now that I would like to go back, I physically can’t! So to all those haters out there, seriously go pick on the Armenians or something  (I got a disclaimer!). I did my time in this great country to be known as a new Canadian; I was a Canadian when it wasn't cool!



So take it back!

***Disclaimer***

Hello!

Good day to you al…

Yes well I got the idea from the news this morning. Apparently the widow/girlfriend/whatever, Courtney Love, of Kurt Cobain is getting sued by someone over some Twitter statement she posted over 3 years ago. So that got me thinking: “Dude, you interact with the masses too; what if someone’s dog dies and he or she takes it upon themselves to alleviate their pain by suing you over some racist remarks you made over pasta!?” That wouldn't be nice, would it? So just to make sure I’ll like to point out that:

A new batch of polite people

Hello!

Good day to you all….

Edna call yu later..
It was a beautiful morning yesterday, one of the rare days that I’m out there by 7:30AM. It wasn’t too cold, I was basically wearing a fleece sweater and I was waiting for the bus that was going to take me to Montreal where we were going to do the citizenship thing. Today my whole crew and I are Canadians. It was an impressive site people, 400 new Canadian citizens from 72 countries and this was only one place! Canada has 9 provinces and 3 territories; how many other ceremonies were there being held!? It lasted about 1 ½ hour, then we went to the local Chinese buffet –because it’s a Canadian thing- where we ate like the good Canadian pigs that we are. All in all it was a great day for all of us. My kid was proud that she got her citizenship and can now proudly say that she is Canadian…thus my hiatus from the electronic world, I barely farmed last night….the things one does for country and honor….


Any hoot, in the words of the Terminator: I’ll be back!



Take care folks…

It’s good to be a Canuck!

Hello!

Good day masses, hope is a great day for you and yours…

So big day tomorrow for the missus and my oldest: they’re becoming Canadians y’all!!....It’s about freaking time, she was eligible to become one since 2003 but she always postponed the event because it wasn't “worth it” she always claimed. Now, she’s dying to become one of us, the few, the proud, the polite, and tomorrow is her big day. She gets to swear allegiance to the Queen and to her country: Canada. Good for her, she can now benefit from Canada’s bill 121s: “Free access to liquid gold”… Beer! You see when you become a Canadian you are granted, like our health care system, to free beer; yup, every Canadian in this world has access to free beer 24/7. You just have to know the secret handshake which will be given to her and my kid tomorrow….


Bless this country where the beer has to be 5.5% alcohol by law, anything less is just not right!



Go Canada!

La vida loca

Hello!

Good day people….

Well I’ll be dammed…. Playing around with my PS3 I found out it has a program that lets you tune into international radio stations, and I have listen to different radio stations from across the globe: Spain. Finland’s 96.8 and others. But being married to a Mexican reina Del Sur I have tuned into a radio station from Puebla 92.9FM (Mexico) that is playing nonstop Norteñas. Basically what I’m missing is tacos, tequila and sun…. hayayay!!!


Take care folks…

PS Thank God for unlimited bandwidth...

Breaking Farts

Hello!

Good day fine folks, happy Sunday…

Now this post should have ***Spoiler Alert** written all over, so if you have never seen Breaking Bad, are in the process of viewing it or plan to view it soon: Step the fuck away from this post. It contains stuff you might not want to hear about….You've been warned…..

So tomorrow I got a bone to pick with my bath guy who had finished seeing BB and claimed that it was action packed drama that would let me baffled beyond my wildest expectations; 2 words he said: Fucking Great. Okay, so I watched the 4th and the 5th season yesterday night and….. Crap! It was seriously lame! When I analyzed the whole show, there was action but it was too few scenes and too far apart. What I learned from it was that making meth pays the bills, D.E.A agents are super dumb and when you are satisfied with the amount of money you made from the meth life, you can just walk away. Seriously I don’t think so. I seriously wish someone would have had the cojones to tell me that the show was good if I didn't have anything better to do….Nobody did NOBODY! There’s a couple of hours I will never have back, time that my e-farm and ninja skills training could have benefited from it…..

Not such a happy Sunday now, is it?


Take care folks…

Bob Vila's visit

Hello!

There’s 2 ½ hours of my life I’ll never see again… Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful that things get done here in regards to fixing medical stuff…but it’s Friday and it’s my day to do fuk all! I don’t have a bath or a visit from anyone….except today… Bob Vila came to town, unannounced too.

I was working on my quantum lottery theory -comm’on, even Stephen Hawkins works on a theory- when I got a call from a repairman for my lift. It’s been beeping constantly and the display says it needs maintenance. So he came, perform a reset on the machine and presto. But then big mouth over here told him that it never worked on the first shot, it was always on the second one. Why did I say this? (Because I am big mouth) The guy took the thing apart until he found the problem, needless to say that he got shocked (2 times to be exact) and he cursed when getting shocked but reassembled the motor using all screws and nuts he had taken out and the problem got solved… plus, I got a new controller because the old one had been destroyed by hands of steel and our offspring….dam Mexicans…


Take care folks… now I can have lunch…

The pre-breakfast post

Hello!

Good morning to you all….

Well, I am doing a pre-breakfast post right now; or at least I started one, I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish it before my “hectic” day starts: nurse, my bath guy, my farm, my ninja wars, my Saint Row…. Gad!.. There’s only so many hours in a day! I will never finish this…

While I am writing these lines, I am staring at a friendly reminder that I am indebted up to the wazoo with the company that made my home modifications and I have to pay now…. I’m scared to open the letter but will probably do so in the afternoon… I’ll probably send them 3 checks so they can be satisfied and I can go on with my life…. I hate beginnings of a new year, so many bills to pay and everything that you’re worried about through the year gets thrown your way in these first days of the Earth’s rotation…well at least it’s tax season and last year was good to me; let’s hope this one is too…

Look at that, I made it!...Yes! It’s going to be an awesome day!!


Take care folks…

The inquisition

Hello!

Argh… just when I thought I was out, they bring me back IN!.. Stupid Mormons, it’s been so long that they stopped calling, they stopped asking if they could come over, they stopped trying to save my soul, that I forgot completely about them and their existence…. Double freaking argh!!! I would have probably tolerated a call or a faraway salutation, but nooo, not them; they had to drop by unannounced and catch me half naked with the purpose to say “hi”.. “They were in the neighborhood..” and drop by to see if I needed anything; yeah, leave me the fuck alone now, you had your chance! I was really going to join your church and obey your rules, but you wanted at all cost for me to go into the baptismal pool… you couldn't have a pinch-bather (see what I did there?) to go into the pool for me…no it had to be me! Well too late, you miss the boat, now leave me alone. I am interested in a different religion now. Yes, this one believes that aliens are Satan’s mignons and they must be stopped…True story here folks, but I will not go into details, let’s just say I sleep with a loaded gun under my pillow now just in case  ET drops by unexpected to try and take me away….


Take care folks…

I swear it was broken

Hello!

Yeah so, what the hell man!?

I called the dishwasher repair person because the machine wasn't working and lo and behold the stupid thing works! I saw it not working, my wife tested it to make sure it was on the fritz, my daughter concurred with us that it was DOA, the freaking parish priest lent us some holly water to put in just in case it was a demon inside the machine making all this problems and the freaking thing worked… It freaking works! I could feel the guy’s eyes looking at me with the case “ID-10T” look… I use to give this look, through the phone, to many of my customers and now I was in the receiving end. Dear Lord, I asked the guy a thousand questions to make sure he wasn't a fault, but no, you cannot argue with end results. At the end I just told him that it was probably my wife that wasn't used to the electric appliances we had, the guy agreed that maybe it was her…. Poor guy doesn't know my wife is an ex-wrestler that could judoka the fuck out of you…


Any hoot, take care folks….

Small talk

Hello!

Happy whatever folks…. Hope life is treating you well…

So another “hectic” day for me again, with 1 call, 1 bath lady and a dishwasher repairman to drop by today; it’s going to be tough… didn’t get my beauty sleep last night; this Netflix is killing me with its Breaking Bad crap… highly addictive program that makes you wonder why I am not cooking meth yet… But at least I am up to date with the Walking Dead show; now we are all eagerly awaiting February 9th for the beginning of the new season…I think I will nappy poo today, put on some astronomy or physic’ show, recline back and wonder off into the stars…. Shit, it’s super windy out there…. I am happy I’m inside… any hoot just a quick good morning post, hopping to post something in the afternoon…


Take care people….

Smells like teen crap

Hello…

I got my calls done and my day, believe it or not, is coming to an end. Nothing fancy or saving the world type of shit, just stuff to keep me busy I guess…and I'm sure I forgot something...

My bubble burst today, that vintage guitar that I was hoping would bring me heavy “mula” is looking more like it could bring me some “mula”. Apparently is a student model, whatever that means, and yes it was built in 1968 but its target audience were beginners that eventually would buy a more high end guitar and then, hang on…mmmm… I just thought of something, the guy that gave the guitar to my mom gave it up because he was buying himself a Fender Stratocaster; a higher end guitar that you purchased if you knew how to play guitar. Guess their (Fender) stupid marketing scheme worked…and the guy didn't really love my mother… douche bag…

Oh well, looks like Castle and his perfect world will have to wait for another post, if I remember…


Take care folks..

PS It's sad, this is a 1968 Fender Mustang such as the one that Kurt Cobain used to play; and if you wanted autographed, I'll get someone to sign my name there for ya....

PS PS Keep in mind, my guitar is better since it's in competition red and unlike Kurt, RIP, I'm still around...

1968 was a good year

Hello!

Well back to normality everybody; and it’s about freaking time!

I’m blogging today but I am not alone. My girls have until tomorrow before I can claim this place to myself… Wife went to work, my e-farm has been taken care of already and my ninja battles are getting done; so my day is finished you might think. No, not by a long shot! I have to do a whole bunch of calls and write emails to keep this house going. The dentist, my insurance cards, my lift mechanism to repair, my door to fix, my 46 year old Mustang Fender to sell… busy busy busy!... Oh, you guys didn't know that I had such an old guitar? Well I do and I am doing maximum research to be able to get maximum buck. So far I know it was built in the USA in the Fullerton plant that closed a while back and that the guitar was made in 1968.. so far I know I could get around 4Gs for it, but my bath guy thinks I could get more; I just have to keep on digging for information on it….. Thus my year has begun and it seems to be a busy one so far; soooo, keep it real people….


Take care folks…

2014 celebrations

Hello..

A Happy New Year to you and yours. Feels like this year will be the one? Like this is it, it’s your year? Well let me just set your perception straight. Consider yourself lucky that the Earth successfully went around the Sun without having been catastrophically annihilated by a meteor, a comet, a CME (Corona Mass Ejection), a Gama ray burst or the mighty hand of someone plucking us right out of space and destroying us… so, remember last year, the one before that and the ones before those? They have all been your lucky ones because for some pathetic reason you’re still here….I’m sorry, still edgy from that cocktail of white sangria mixed with the red one…. I swear, never again….

Happy New Year 2014 edition
My celebration was different than the ones in the past; we went to a restaurant where we were promised that for $60 bucks a pop, we would experience Time Square in Brossard… well, it was nice, food was good, but I think that the mixture of booze made me a potential candidate for a DUI case. I’m pretty sure that if the cops would have stopped me and performed a field sobriety test on me I would have flunked it big time. But in a nutshell, I’d give it a 7 on 10…. I’m taking points out because they had promised me Happy New Year’s hats and they didn't delivered; fair to say that my girls, all 3 of them, were miffed about the whole situation. I on the other hand was partially drunk and happy that they had handed out mini air horns that I could play with…



Any hoot, welcome to 20 14, let’s hope we successfully make another safe circle around the Sun….


Take care folks……
