Raise your glass and show some gratitude. . .
Jack has spawned a sequel of sorts, for all those pirates just lookin' for a little booty.
Yo-Ho Yo-Ho. . . a Pirates life for me.

Doss - Two things you should take away from this photo.

1. Things can always be worse than you have them, so get off your ass and don't let the surgery you down.

2. The guy has a friend out there motivating him - so lets get moving mister.

The missus is inviting some of her friends from the office over for an evening luau.
It should prove to be an entertaining night of good old-fashioned fornicating and competitive drinking.

There will be a few rules for our guests though.










Rule 1. Please feel free to bring a friend but remember two things - if you don't want to sleep with them, no one else will either so your popularity may rise or fall depending on what your companion looks like. - and two-
- FRIENDS OF FRIENDS MAY NOT BRING FRIENDS!!!







- (filthy rich rockstars and supermodels in the habit of throwing money around need not worry - but the rest of the crowd better look sharp and behave or you'll find yourself taking your drinks on the curb.)






Rule 2.
Please bring a snack















Rule 3.
Please bring a towel












We look forward to seeing you all the 24th and until then, Mahalo

After much thought and deep introspection - I have concluded - the only way to lift my spirits from the funk of being ill is. . .

throw a party!!!

Been trying to catch up on my sleep for any of you that care.
Came down with a nasty bug that laid me up for the better part of two weeks.
Be careful. . . it's making the rounds

Nice to see Vale back on the podium

Nice to see I'm not the only one waiting

I feel a bit lost - in my effort to put my feeling into words - regarding my days spent in that most famous of "Third Places."


















-As a child I imagined a future in which I pondered the great riddles of life and discovered the purpose of things as my days on Earth passed and the answers unfolded in time.

-These days, I seem focused on smaller matters - like how anyone can order a skinny mocha with extra whipped cream and manage to keep a straight face.

. . . over the internet and she tells how limber she is.












You play it cool - she tells you she can do the splits - things heat up.













You set a date to meet for drinks at your local pub and reality rears it's ugly head. . .














Friends don't let friends date over the net.

While the Mensa squad in D.C. ponders the price gouging question, I've decided to invest my Tax return in an economical alternative form of transportation.
Sort of a dual sport machine.















At the same time it's nice to see tax dollars being wisely allocated for the public good.

I'd say the picture speaks for itself

Sad to report that Rossi is now fifth in the points after a DNF because of a tire changing SNAFU in the last race.
Still, I'm holding out hope for rally, putting him right back on top.













However, this man may have something to say about Vale's charge. . .










Look for the race results from France later today @

The missus tells me that she's been corset shopping lately.
A fella can hope can't he?

I don't know about you. . . but i'm happy Summer is almost here. Just something about it that lifts my spirits.

. . . you say you've been looking up client info and going over the numbers but we know. We REALLY know.

Pretty sure this is the only thing keeping my boy Vinyl from taking the plunge with some young lovely.

Hard to believe the latest poll at CNN citing an all-time Presidential rating low.
I for one don't buy it.
Go Team America!!!

While the Oil Man in the White House has his crack team of monkeys working 'round the clock investigating price gouging at the fuel pump - i've taken to carpooling.
Feel free to submit comments and pix of what works for you.

For those Gran Turismo fans that don't already know, the good folks that gave us that wonderful driving sim have been itching to create a similar platform but for bikes.
It hits the street 4 April, 2006
My spare time just vanished. . . Can hardly wait.
Take a look. . .















































































Hope this list is accurate. . . but it could do with a few more Duc's ; )
