a decent way to start the weekend...

i did not sleep well last night. i'm not sure what it was this time. my best guess is the holiday. i'm not a real big fan of any of them i suppose. just way too much dysfunction as a child i guess.

i was up in time to watch Manchester United take on Swansea this morning. United started early with a goal from Lukaku five minutes into the game. and then Alexis Sanchez finally scored in the 20th minute to put United up 2-0. from that point on, United basically put it on cruise control and won 2-0. hopefully that will be a sign of things to come this weekend.

the New York Yankees won last night 4-2. the big hitters for the Yankees did nothing last night. it was all Drury and Wade coming through for the runs last night. Chapman made it interesting in the 9th. Tanaka had a great start, retiring the last 13 batters he faced. the Yankees will go for the series win later this afternoon. this is the first time the Yankees have started a season 2-0 in 13 years.

the New York Rangers lost to Tampa last night 7-3. it was pretty weird to see Miller, Girardi and McDonagh playing for the other team at MSG last night. the Rangers play again tonight in Carolina. considering Carolina is (barely) still in the hunt for a playoff spot, i expect the Rangers to be up against it tonight. hopefully AV is smart enough (he isn't) to let the kids gain some valuable experience tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Operation Odessa and ROH.

i will probably watch some of the Final Four games tonight as well. Loyola Chicago takes on Michigan and Kansas will play Villanova.

i figure the rest of my day will be lounging, watching some soccer. i'm currently watching Bayern Munich destroy Borussia Dortmund.

mom is busy in the kitchen getting stuff ready for the Easter weekend. i'm not sure what time my sister will be here today.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday.

and then the sunshine surprises you...

after last night's near 2 inches of rain, we had over 3 inches in the last 3 days. i've been walking around like i'm in my 80's and ready to be in a wheelchair all the time. and then today was supposed to be more of the same. of course, yet another forecast wrong. it's been sunny all damn day. that did give me a chance to do a few things outside; fix the mailbox, put up the new wind chimes, change the wreath and put out some food for the birds, since they are saying there's a chance for fucking snow in the next day or so. i feel like the weather here is simply like a random draw. it changes every few hours or whenever some fucker decides to spin the wheel.

i just loved it this morning when mom told she was out of a certain pill. i laughed and said good thing you know that after we went to the grocery store yesterday. so that meant i had to drive her to the drugstore today. good times.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Will & Grace was hilarious last night.

The Big Bang Theory was great last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Life in Pieces was really good last night.

Gotham was spectacular last night.

Atlanta was fucking hilarious last night. clearly the best show on television.

Lip Sync Battle reminded me of why i have a crush on Rita Ora.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight as i guess all my usual shows are showing reruns because of Good Friday. so i guess i'll be flipping between hockey and baseball tonight.

the New York Yankees play tonight at Toronto. i saw they put their starting center fielder on the disabled list today. that's my one worry about what could derail them this season, injuries. hopefully they can get a win tonight and start the season in a groove.

the New York Rangers play their final home game of this shitty season tonight against Tampa. i'm interested to see how loud the ovations will be for the former Rangers tonight. and Tampa should be in a real shitty mood given their loss to Boston last night.

i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.

i believe my sister is coming down tomorrow night for the Easter weekend.

i hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. if you are religious or even the pseudo i only go on Easter and Christmas religious, enjoy. as for the rest of us, try not to eat so much candy.

here comes the flood...

the forecast today called for scattered showers. it's been a constant rain all fucking day. you could imagine just how fucking happy i have been.

thankfully, the New York Yankees are doing their part to make me forget about the pain. they are currently up 5-0 in the 8th inning. Giancarlo Stanton's first swing in a Yankee uniform ended up in the right center seats. this is going to be a fun season.

mom wanted to come along today to the post office and the grocery store. for some damn reason, the roll of stamps i asked her to get turned into 2 books of stamps. i asked her if there was a reason for that and she said no, i wasn't thinking. lovely. and i'm not supposed to be worried about her.

the grocery store was interesting. it was fucking pouring outside and you could tell just about everyone inside the store was in a shitty mood. i got 3 bottles of liquor; some coconut rum, some Jim Beam Fire and a bottle of brandy. i've been reading too many studies that say stubborn alcoholics live longer. i figured i better up my game to prove that shit wrong.

amazingly we got out of there with a bill under $100.

thankfully, nothing got too wet before i got it into the vehicle.

and i got back home before the Yankees game started.

The Voice last night was a recap of the season so far. the knockouts are next up.

NXT was excellent last night.

the New York Rangers lost in OT last night at Washington, 3-2. The King was back last night and that was the only reason they got a point they truly didn't need.

enjoy some music:

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

Stanton just hit a mammoth home run to put the Yankees up 6-1. holy shit this is going to be a fun season.

the Yankees just won 6-1. if they can get this kind of hitting and pitching all season, i'll be a happy fucker this summer.

well, at least i know i'll be drinking this evening.

showcase showdown

my poem "showcase showdown" has been published at Mad Swirl. you can find the poem by going here: http://madswirl.com/poetry/2018/03/showcase-showdown/

crying yourself to sleep

i made the mistake last night of deciding to watch part 2 of The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling before i went to sleep. by the time part 2 was over, i was weeping. easily one of the best documentaries i have seen in years. now, it's a bit long, but if you're a fan of comedy, i highly recommend checking all 4 1/2 hours out.

The Voice last night was pretty good.

the season finale of Baskets was hilarious last night.

the season finale of Hate Thy Neighbor was excellent last night. after watching it, i guess i'll be living in Montana at some point in my life.

The Chris Gethard Show last night was fucking crazy.

The Jim Jefferies Show last night was great.

Smackdown last night was excellent. i love that Daniel Bryan will be wrestling at WrestleMania.

205 Live last night was really good.

team USA men's national team defeated Paraguay last night 1-0. it was a way more physical soccer friendly than i was expecting. i'm not sure how Paraguay escaped a couple red cards last night. i did love that the USA made sure some of the kids played and are now tied to the USA. that will come in handy with the massive rebuild needed after missing the upcoming World Cup. of course, the interim coach could have played more of the kids last night. i'm not sure why he didn't use all 6 of his subs last night.

i got to sleep this morning sometime around 6. i woke up around 11. one thing about crying yourself to sleep, it does at least put you out for more than a few hours.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Voice. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Washington.

the New York Yankees season will start tomorrow in Toronto. hopefully i will be back home in time for the game.

mom wants to go to the grocery store tomorrow. she wants to get stuff to make for Easter. i'll be going to get liquor.

i will probably be on here tomorrow either really early (not likely) or after the baseball game is over.

i'm a little cranky today. i dropped mom off to get her taxes done. i went back home and typed up the 14 poems i wrote yesterday. right as i was finishing up the last poem and putting everything away, mom called to have me come get her. the place is only 5 minutes away. so, there i was sitting in parking lot for over 20 minutes before she came out. i truly can't fucking stand wasting my time. it's one of the few things i actually have. of course, she had a few excuses about how the cities fucked something up and her old employer didn't send everything she needed for her taxes, which i don't doubt either. i just don't understand why she couldn't have called me when everything was signed and being sent. remember, it's just 5 minutes away from the house. with what little patience i have left, i can't imagine how often i will have to bite my tongue before i fucking explode one of these days.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

response from Mad Swirl

i heard back from the fine folks at Mad Swirl on my poetry submission from back in January. my poem "showcase showdown" has been accepted for publication. the poem will be published tomorrow.

yet another rainy day; hello pain, it's me again...

i think i might have got 4 hours of sleep right on the nose when i woke up this morning to take a shower. we got to the car dealership before our appointment time. i'm a bit of an asshole about being late. i fucking hate it. mom wasn't feeling well, so she just had them fix the license plate and she would reschedule the oil change, etc. about 45 minutes later, we were leaving. it's been raining the whole damn day long. mom wanted McDonald's for breakfast, so i got some of that on the way home. and before we knew it, it was time to go south of town for her physical therapy session.

mom has been able to get around more and more without her cane. she's really making some progress. i'm trying not to be too worrisome and end up holding her back in any regard. but, i do get a little nervous when she gets a bit wobbly. the last thing i want to see is her fall again and have to get another hip replacement.

while she was in physical therapy, i wrote 14 poems. that gives me 44 for the month, i do believe. i'll type these up tonight while i've got the television on in the background.

after her physical therapy, we went to a late lunch. i might have actually enjoyed it more if i wasn't in so much pain from the fucking rain. i joked with my mother that if i ever start making real money, i could actually afford the good shit that would take the pain away. she laughed and said the shit that will end up killing you. i laughed and said like i haven't already had those dreams.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Voice was pretty good last night as well.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Washington 4-2. they play at Washington tomorrow night.

the New York Yankees won last night at Atlanta 5-1. i did get to see the mammoth home run Stanton hit. i have a feeling this is going to be a fun season.

The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling was excellent last night. i can't wait to see part 2 tonight. Garry was a big comedic influence on my sense of humor, especially when i was growing up.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Baskets, Hate Thy Neighbor, The Voice, The Chris Gethard Show, The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling  and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

team USA men's national team plays a soccer friendly tonight at home against Parguay. i'm hoping a bunch of the kids get to play and i'd love to see them play well enough to win. i won't be holding my breath though.

i don't know when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know i have to take mom to get her taxes done in the afternoon.

that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

every once in a while you get to see something magical...

i was really looking forward to the match last night between the Golden Lovers vs. The Young Bucks at NJPW Strong Style Evolved. between the storytelling, the moves, the crazy ass spots... it certainly did not disappoint. the match was definitely an instant classic. the broadcast went better than what they did live last year. and i think the venue looked better on television as well. thankfully i was paying attention last night and was able to record the 20 minutes it went over past midnight. a few of the matches last night weren't that memorable, but the ones that were were fucking excellent.

the game yesterday between Duke and Kansas was as good as i thought it was going to be. i was pretty happy that Duke lost. i ended up 33-30 in this tournament. that's 1 game worse than i was last year. that's not bad considering i really didn't watch much college basketball this season, mostly because of the shitty taste that watching Dayton left in my mouth all season long.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

Homeland was really good last night.

Billions was excellent last night. season 3 looks like it is going to be really good.

Here and Now was an excellent mindfuck last night. i love this show.

Barry was fucking great last night.

Silicon Valley was very funny last night.

i watched all the Sunday nights shows after wrestling last night. i think i got to bed sometime before 5 in the morning. i'm currently running on about 4 hours of sleep. joy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Washington. the Rangers called up their two first round picks for the rest of the season. hopefully the coach will really give them a chance to show what they can do.

the New York Yankees play tonight against Atlanta. 3 days until the season begins. of course, the injury bug has already popped up. fuck.

i've got to be up early tomorrow morning to take the car in to get the license plate fixed. i think mom wants them to change the oil as well. and considering the vehicle has over 225,000 miles on it, i'm sure something else will need to be fixed/replaced as well.

if that all gets done in the morning, i'm going to try to get the blog done before i take mom to her physical therapy in the afternoon. if that doesn't go as smoothly as i hope, then i'll be on here after a late lunch after mom's physical therapy session.

what i'm really hoping for is another blast of poems tomorrow. i think i have written 30 this month. i'd love to throw another high number on top of that before the month is over.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. i think i'm going to go take a nap.

i figured i had some time last night before ROH came on, so i did some writing. i wrote 6 poems in a little under 50 minutes. i typed those up this morning. they are pretty dark and really good. i'm either going to do another round of submissions this month or maybe actually get some poems together for a book submission. time will tell i suppose.

for those of you interested, mom got an appointment on Tuesday morning to get the car all fixed up. hopefully they can get everything done in the morning as she has physical therapy in the afternoon.

i'm not really surprised that Loyola-Chicago and Michigan are in the Final Four. i think both of them were the better teams last night. today's games are Villanova vs. Texas Tech and Duke vs. Kansas. i'll probably watch most of those games.

the New York Rangers defeated Buffalo last night 5-1. the Rangers have certainly found a new, young backup goalie. he had 43 saves last night. plus, Buffalo just fucking stinks.

ROH was really good last night.

one of those days...

since it didn't snow at all here last night, mom wanted to go out shopping today. i laughed and told her this is going to be the next 20 years of my life i guess. you want to go out shopping and then bitch about how there is no money. so, after $100 was spent at Meijer for some shit we needed and some shit that we probably didn't, i loaded up the car and shut the trunk. and sure enough, the fucking back license plate fell right off. the bolts had completely rusted through. great. i went back in and bought some tape. of course, i get back out to the car and we have nothing to cut the tape with. so i went back in and bought some scissors. i come out and mom had found something to cut the tape and put the license plate in the back window. of course, that back window is tinted and there's no way the police could see the tags on it. by that time, i was fucking fuming. not quite sure why she thought she shouldn't just wait for me never crossed her fucking mind, and my blood sugar was dropping as it had been 7 hours since i ate breakfast. when we got back home, i took the license plate off of the window and just put it on the front dash. hopefully we can get it repaired here shortly. unfortunately, i don't have anything that can dig those old bolts out.

the two episodes of NJPW were excellent last night. i can't wait for their live event tomorrow night. that should be really good.

Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

the season finale of High Maintenance was really good last night. i can't wait for season 3.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i will probably watch some of both college basketball games tonight. i really couldn't give a shit who wins.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Buffalo. i'm hoping the boys will find a way to lose this one. it will be difficult.

i do know the New York Yankees won both of their games this afternoon, so i will be drinking this evening.

i'm planning on being on here early tomorrow. of course, early is a relative term these days.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i'm trying to avoid listening to Trotwood lose in the state final right now. they are trailing by 6 at the moment. having them win the state title is a dream i have had since i was 12 years old. to say i'm on pins and needles would be an understatement.

Trotwood lost to LeBron's old high school, 60-51. fuck.

that's all for me kids.

response from Midnight Lane Boutique

i heard back from Johnny at Midnight Lane Boutique on my poetry submission from last week. my poems "tossing and turning", "my monday afternoon" and "alcohol can do wonders" have been accepted for publication. they should appear around May 5th.

more snow on the way, great...

i saw the weather forecast last night and figured the grocery store this afternoon was going to be a fucking zoo. i was pretty close to being correct. more on that later.

i wrote 11 poems yesterday while in the waiting room of my mom's physical therapy. i typed those up last night and really like a few of them.

our lunch was pretty good yesterday. it was definitely better than the trip to Toys R Us. right when we got to the store, i saw a sign that said contrary to what you might have seen, we do not know when the liquidation sales will begin. we apologize for any inconvenience. i looked at mom and laughed. the old bait and switch. there were certain items that were on clearance. of course, most of those were already gone. i found a couple Funko Pops that were a good price and a little Batman toy that was a decent price. but the rest of the "good shit" was way too expensive. we found out as we were checking out that the vendors came in last week and got all the baseball cards. that pissed me off as i was really hoping to find some of those at a good price. oh well. that was my first time in a Toys R Us in probably 20 years. sadly, it looked about the same. no wonder they are going out of business.

i did watch a little of the basketball games last night. let's just say the entire left side of my bracket is now over with. i figure tonight will most likely take care of my right side. joy.

Atlanta was excellent last night.

Lip Sync Battle was crazy last night.

Gotham was fucking great last night.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Philadelphia 4-3. the refs blew the call on what would have been the tying goal in the game. so, a big thank you to them for that fuck up.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, 2 episodes of NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and the season finale of High Maintenance.

the grocery store was definitely picked through by the time i got there today. anytime the weather forecast is doom and gloom, i know the store is going to be a fucking zoo the following day. thankfully, i didn't have a scroll of things to get today. sadly, the toy selection at the grocery store was better than that at Toys R Us. and yes, i got them at a discount. all in all, my 2 prescriptions cost almost half as much as the fucking groceries. but, i got out of there with only spending a little over $100. now watch, it won't fucking snow.

mom had the closing of the sale of the other home she owned today. i can tell that's a whole ton of stress lifted off of her now. i'm hoping my cousin will do a good job of taking care of it. she owns it now.

i didn't watch much of the New York Yankees game today. i saw they were losing to Boston and just moved along, scanning the channels. i can't wait for the season to start. 6 days away.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. kind of depends on how shitty the weather actually gets tonight.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

best of luck to Trotwood in the Division 2 state championship tomorrow.

too old for games...

i'm not exactly sure why this shit keeps happening to me or why people like to poke the bear, so to speak. at the age of 42, i'm still getting fucking messages from people pretending to be someone else and then doing a piss poor job of trying to tell me they aren't fucking scamming me. i'm just too fucking old for these games. so, i suppose either i will find someone who will end this damn misery for me or maybe death comes first. the saga continues.

the season finale of The X-Files last night was crazy. i'm a little torn given some of the deaths. plus, if this was the final show ever, there are so many open holes that there truly is no sense of closure. of course, that's probably a metaphor for our lives.

NXT was excellent last night. i could watch Gargano and Ciampa go at each other forever and never get bored.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Philadelphia. hopefully they will lose again tonight.

i need to get ready to take mom to her physical therapy. after we get done with that, we're going to go have lunch. then, it will be the sad final trip to Toys R Us to see what the hell is still there. i'm not getting my hopes up of finding anything good.

plus, i am bringing my little notebook with me, so i will hopefully have a nice writing session in the waiting room of the physical therapy office once again.

i couldn't find a comfortable spot in my bed to fall asleep until around 4 in the morning. just imagine my joy when the phone rang before 9 AM. so much for catching up on some sleep.

we got around 3 inches of snow. it was a really wet snow that has melted a little by this afternoon. i didn't think we got a newspaper this morning. turns out the fucker was buried in the snow. hopefully the rest will melt by tomorrow afternoon.

Smackdown was really good last night. Daniel Bryan being back is truly fucking awesome. the end of the show and the violence between Kevin, Sami and Daniel has me dreaming of the match those 3 could have at WrestleMania.

205 Live was excellent last night. i can't wait for the title match at WrestleMania between Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali. that should be great.

Baskets was hilarious last night. the season finale is next week.

Hate Thy Neighbor was very good last night.

The Voice was very good last night.

The Chris Gethard Show was fucking insane last night. i love that it is back on the air.

the New York Rangers lost to Columbus last night 5-3. it was a good loss as a good number of bad teams won last night. i need the Rangers to be in line for pick number 7 or better in the draft.

i do hope that the weather was better wherever you may be. of course, if you're on the East coast of the USA, i hope you have a shovel ready.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good as well last night. Brock beating the shit out of Roman was a nice twist. also, the Ultimate Deletion was a bit more crazy than i thought WWE would be willing to go to. it wasn't as nuts as the one they did in TNA, but i wasn't expecting it to be either.

Arthur Miller: Writer was very good last night. now, i found it fascinating as it really went into his process of writing and coming up with the plays. i devour that shit and try to use it in my own writing process if i can. all in all, i found it to be much deeper than i was expecting. i would definitely recommend this to anyone that might be interested in it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Baskets, Hate Thy Neighbor, The Voice and The Chris Gethard Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i about shit my pants this afternoon when i saw that the WWE cleared Daniel Bryan to wrestle again. he retired 2 years ago because of concussions. i know he's gone though all the treatments and some experimental concussion treatments and according to all reports, any damage caused by the concussions is gone now. this could actually be a game changer for all sports when i think about it. it will be very interesting to see how he changes his wrestling style. and i do expect him to be wrestling at WrestleMania in a few weeks.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Columbus. since i would have to watch and listen to the Blue Jackets shitty announcers, i will probably pass on watching tonight.

i did listen to a bit of the New York Yankees game this afternoon. they lost to Detroit 8-3. it's hard to believe that opening day will be here in 9 days.

i'll be on here tomorrow hopefully after some much needed sleep. i had to be up early this morning because the heating & air guy was coming to look at the furnace and air conditioner. thankfully, both are still good.

baila con el diablo y ríete de todo lo que sigue

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...

the horror of the Sunday paper

i know when i hear my mother tell me she's gone though the Sunday paper, if there was something she saw that she wants, and if the weather on Monday is nice, she will want to go shopping. sure enough, today was sunny and in the 50's.

at least we found most of what she was shopping for. plus, i think i have a new favorite at the bank i go to. and i was able to get gas before the fucking snow comes tomorrow night.

i believe i got 7 of the Sweet Sixteen correct this year in the NCAA tournament. given how fucking crazy this tournament has been, that's not too bad. of course 75 % of the Final Four i picked is already gone. oh well.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

Here and Now was really good last night.

Homeland was very good last night.

the season finale of The Chi was excellent last night. it certainly did set up season 2 rather nicely as well.

Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious as usual last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Arthur Miller: Writer. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

much like what has happened for most of my life, i tried to do something good today and it completely fucking backfired. i took some spray paint to make the numbers on our mailbox be a little more clear as they were starting to fade. so, right as i began to spray, a gust of wind came along and fucked everything up. i tried to wipe the paint up, which only made shit worse. so, now i've been trying to "fix" it and finally just decided to call it fucking art. i figure next time i'm out i'll be looking for some stickers or something better than paint or markers.

hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of Spring and they are talking about accumulating snow. at least mom doesn't start back to physical therapy until Thursday. hopefully by then some of it will have melted.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

my 3 poems at Horror Sleaze Trash

my poems "a little mental illness", "devotion has failed me" and "i have chosen a slow death" have been published at Horror Sleaze Trash. you can find the poems by going here:
http://www.horrorsleazetrash.com/poetry/j-j-campbell-25/

i knew there was a reason i was getting a haircut today...

i just watched the team i picked to win the national championship this season (Michigan St.) lose in the NCAA tournament. never good when my brackets can't make it out of the first weekend.

a little poetry news to pass on... i did get that wild hair up my ass, it was either that or a little too much alcohol and sent out 17 poems today. 6 each to In Between Hangovers and Midnight Lane Boutique; 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

Manchester United advanced in the FA Cup yesterday 2-0. it was a rather listless performance. to me, it seemed like the mind fuckery going on with the coach to his players has the majority of the players afraid to fail. that's never a good thing. Lukaku and Matic scored the goals. they have played for Mourinho before, so they know his tricks. United will play Tottenham in the semifinals of the FA Cup next month.

the New York Rangers lost in OT last night against St. Louis 4-3. it does look like the kids like playing the role of spoiler.

ROH was really good last night.

Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Our Cartoon President, Homeland, the season finale of The Chi, Here and Now and Last Week Tonight.

the weather was finally nice enough today that i was able to take mom to get her haircut. i figured i would get mine done as well since i hadn't had it cut since December. as i told the lady before she started, my only hope is i look different than when i came in here. mission accomplished.

after we got done there, i had to take mom to get some cash out of the ATM. we ended up driving past where we used to live. i was pretty surprised at the amount of water damage in the area. hell, one field was still under water about a mile or so from our old farm.

i will be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank and getting some gas. i think there's a chance of snow this coming week and then a quick warmup after that. joy.

i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.
