Uncle Grayhawk's Front Porch

Nothing like random phrases... ;-)

Hi folks. Sorry about Monday's entry. I had been working on it in spurts throughout the day, and it alllll went to shit when we found out about mousecat0's stuff being stolen.

And I suppose that's where I'll start.

For those who don't know, my lovely wife is a commercial property manager. She was at her primary site, where her office is located. More to the point, her office is in a suite of offices in the building, all used by the management company she works for. Around 1430 hours, she went to go check on something, leaving her cellphones (personal & work) on her desk, and her bag (with her wallet in it) behind & under her desk. When she returned 20 or so minutes later, they were all gone. Credit cards, driver's license, checkbook - all gone. After a frantic search of the suite did not turn it up, she began the annoying and tedious process of getting everything canceled.

The next morning, mousecat0 planned to go to MD MVA to get a replacement license. She was in the shower when her boss called. Her wallet had been found in the men's room, and they could confirm that her driver's license was in it. She headed off to work and was able to confirm that everything was there - nothing stolen. She didn't have any cash in the bag, so that was a non-issue. Also seems that someone had lifted the site engineers keys from his desk, as they were found elsewhere in another men's room.

Net loss so far as can be told: 2 cell phones. We got off light.

Lessee, what else has happened since last I talked to you?

Went camping with my son and his Cub Scout pack. The Robert C. McDonell Campground (part of Cabin John Regional Park) is maybe 5 minutes from home. Nice enough place. The kids had a blast, the adults had fun watching the kids. The only thing that annoyed me was the rain at 0300 on Sunday.

Last weekend was a little busier, as we had a birthday party to attend for the daughter of some friends, then getting things together for Mother's Day (menu posted here). Oh yeah, and I had to buy tires for my car.

Oh the cars. Which always know when you have $$$. Godblessit. mousecat0's car need about $1500 worth of work, mine needed about $400 in tires. Together, that makes us flat-assed broke.

Didn't play much WoW in the last 2 weeks. Played enough to get my Children's Week achievement (and be annoyed by all the whining in battlegrounds by the hardcore battleground gamers when those of us there only for the achievements came in) and my Oh My, Kurenai achievement. Just need to finish off Sporeggar rep for my Diplomat title. Hopefully do some raiding this week as well.

Not too much else of late. Will be in NJ on Memorial Day weekend for the annual family BBQ. Got a Barking Mad meeting this weekend as well. Kids have birthday parties to go to. I'm just gonna try and keep my shit together. ;-)

I'll be posting recipes shortly. I'll even post the one that we didn't like so much; may be you will.

I remind you all to have a good day. The very fact that you woke up on the proper side of the grass this morning makes it a great start to a good day.

I like random....

So, welcome to the start of another glor-ee-ous work week. OK, so it's half way through the start, but what the hell. My blog, my rules, I win.
( the weekend )

( Travel notes )
( Football thoughts )
( Internet goodness! )
I think that's all for now.

Remember: You woke up on the proper side of the grass this morning. By definition, that makes this a good day.

Peas. Out.

Short version: A good weekend, all around.
( Longer version behind cut )
OK, that's about it for now.
