what a day...non-stop action.
got up early and took some garbage to the dump. sure, i have a dumpster here but it wasn't mine. marcy and her new rookie kathy, had a bunch of stuff at their place that needed gettin' rid of. seems they missed garbage day and it was piling up. so i/we loaded up the coolerator and off to the dump i went. good times. then it was off to the grove for a taste of the breakfast i'll be eating xmas morning...eggs florentine with a side of brown toast. now that's good eatin'. i then picked up mishi moto and off to costco we went...shit tickets, laundry soap, cdr's, etc...i know how to live large.. then to ikea...more large livin'...on the way there though in heard on the radio that john olerud was retiring after 16 years in the majors...i like that guy. a simple player, with an effortless swing and a seemingly good nature. he had to wear a batting helmet even when he was playing in the field because he once had a brain hemmorage or sumptin' and if he got hit in the noggin again...bingo, bango..he could die..so, better safe than sorry. i'll miss seeing him play...it's like that right now though..the players i grew up watching, and more players my age, my peers if you will, are retiring...stevie y. (hall of fame centre for the red wings) is likely to retire perhaps before the end of the season, brett hull, the golden brett, retired earlier this year after figuring out he just couldn't keep up anymore. i once got to see nola ryan in his final game, or one of the very last ones..actually i only really saw him tip his hat...but it was cool...there are more retiring but those ones stick in my mind right now.. i'm glad i saw them play... even if deep down they're just asshole millionaires..except stevie y... and john...then it was time to work on mishi'd proposal thingy...it's kind of a secret so you ask her..all i know is that it took a long time and isn't done yet... then it was time for a well deserved burrito at topanga where we ran into mike from IE Creative... he was with his pal phil and they were drinking pineapple margaritas... nope...that's not a margarita..they are lime...lime only. period. i ran ito an old friend there as well, ian noble.. former drummer for the moderettes and go 4 three, etc..he's a big time rock promotor in NYC now.. two kids and a wife...life is just moving along...i'm a little scared...
i may head to california today or early friday morning.. i can't decide..it'll just happen. it could be ok before i start the new sequel... a couple in-n-out burgers, burritos, toys and some art...sometimes a guy just has to drive around and listen to bad radio...i'll keep ya posted...
john lennon died as well... i hate the beatles, couldn't carte less about them but if i had to like one i guess it would be john...or ringo...but the sentimental favorite today would be john... it's all yoko's fault...
