surrounded by death

i woke up to the news this morning that the woman i have sat next to for the last decade or so at the Dayton basketball games died last week. she was in the Hall of Fame at the school. she also took care of me when i broke my foot in 7th grade playing basketball. needless to say, i've known her for a long damn time. you will be missed PJ. rest in peace.

mom wanted to go over to the farm for a final time today. she wanted to see what was set out for the auction tomorrow. i think both of us just wanted to get a final look at it. i did bring my camera.

i actually did see a cat while i was there. the cat Batman has survived. it's not a friendly cat, so i didn't bother to try to track it down. but, it did find the food i put out yesterday. hopefully that helps it survive a little longer. i know damn well that after June 11th, not much of anything will have a chance to survive on that farm.

time for a quick music break:

the New York Yankees whipped one of the best pitchers in baseball last night 7-2. Tex had the big hit with a grand slam. hopefully they can keep it going tonight up in Seattle.

Monday Night Raw was barely average last night. other than the interchange between Kevin Owens and John Cena, the rest of the show didn't do much for me.

i did like the podcast afterwards with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Paul Heyman:

on the DVR tonight will be Deadliest Catch.

here's some late night funnies for you:

so we got a new receiver from Directv today. i went to hook it up and of course, i was having problems. so mom called the help line. we got this woman who obviously was more interested in having a conversation with the other ladies in the room than helping us. if she would have told me the trick to do when the remote is acting up at the beginning, this 50 minute call would have been around 15. eventually, everything started to work correctly again. needless to say, i believe we'll be going the online route for help from now on. fuck me running.

mom leaves for Columbus tomorrow for a nursing conference. i'll be home alone. i'm hoping it won't be raining so i won't be completely fucking miserable. i'll probably spend most of the day doing my laundry. i'm way behind in that.

that's all for me today. i've got trash to pick up and a bad back that is calling for some ice.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
