Dude, You're Getting A Post

Manti has it easy. Try having a fake girlfriend and a real wife.

Part of my mission is to keep you apprised of celebrity news. The Sporting News has a couple important items. It says that Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are reportedly dating. I read something the other day that Tiger was trying to get his wife back. I guess he's not trying too hard.

The other item is that Danica Patrick is dating fellow driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. In a previous post, I've already stated that motor sports are two words that don't go together. The only question I have on this one is: How does he reach the pedals?

I'm excited that Dr. Joe made a comment on my last post. And he addressed me as "dude", which always warms the cockles of my heart. He apparently didn't like my crack about picking up the whole check. Since he saved my life, I'm buying dinner next time. He also told me to get my act together and produce the guide to all the wonderful characters featured herein. I'm committing to have it done by the end of next weekend. This weekend is a bit busy as I'm heading up to Sonoma State to watch the girl's hoops game. The only thing I want to clear up here and now is that #1 and #2 are not named after bodily functions.

Anti-Aging Secrets, Frozen Turds, Etc.

Here's some tips for all my middle-aged friends. I, for one, will no longer skimp on deep conditioning nor will I wear old bras.

My wife and I took down the Christmas lights without getting into a fight this weekend. I noticed that one of my neighbors let Fido drop a deuce on my lawn but clean up was easy as the excrement was frozen solid.

Coca Cola is addressing obesity. That's like Smith and Wesson addressing gun violence

I had a nice chat with SB1 last night about his benefits at work. He's in to week two of his professional career. I posted a Youtube video of Elvis Costello's "Welcome to the Working Week" on his wall.

Dr. Joe was in town a couple weekends ago. I gotta talk to that boy about getting a dinner allowance from his employers so he can pick up the entire check once in a while. We went to Roti India Bistro in Burlingame. I had seen it reviewed on Check, Please! We had a good meal and I plan to go back. It seemed to me there was too much lamb in the Mixed Tandoori but no other complaints.

Dr. Joe caught up with the blog recently, at my urging, because I need affirmation from my closest friends to be able to continue to operate this thing at the highest levels. The good doctor said he needed a guide to all the characters. I plan to begin work on that.

Time to go defrost the Volvo.

Traffic and Weather

Hey, just so you know, traffic was a cluster on 101 last night. One and a half hours from the greater Milpitas area to FC. A pain in the ass.

My body is a wonderland, as in it does not work very well but I still manage to get around, and my house is an icebox. Back in the 60s they did not design these NorCal tract homes to withstand a prolonged cold snap. The alleged insulation they blew into my attic has not done wonders recently. They probably saw me coming and blew a bunch of packing peanuts up there.

There's no ice on the vehicles this morning as there was all last week but the space heaters are working overtime anyway.. On the radio yesterday, the DJ was talking about covering up your bougainvilleas. I always keep my bougainvillea covered, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

Apropos of nothing, it appears I've been on hiatus longer than when I officially announced I was going on hiatus. I got plenty of excuses, holidays, new job etc. but nobody but the Wolv was paying attention anyway. I got a cranky note from the crank yesterday, whinging about writer's block or writer's cramp or what have you. I think the Wolv has cramps of a different sort, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. 

 

So, Wolv, here's five good reasons not to send me discordant emails.
