Three Day Weekend!!!

-
We made it!

Well, almost.

Just have to get through get-away-day, but we have arrived at Memorial Day.

Doesn’t it seem like Fridays take a month to get here now?

The speaker of the house is asking for the family of the president to stage an intervention and the president is stumped because he hasn’t yet come up with a nickname for the speaker of the house.

What can you do?

Crooked, Little, Sleepy, Lying, Crying and Crazy have all been used.

I bring that up because I honestly think that all this crap is making the weeks just drag.

Well, that and the work!

By the end of the day on Thursday I had been on the clock for 57 hours.

Five states.

A couple of lobster rolls, my first look at Cape Cod, two bumpy plane rides, and the First-Place Yankees on an absolute tear!

The weather is turning too!

And next week is my wedding anniversary and we are going to actually do something.

So, things are looking up.

Don’t you think that he should go with Nasty Nancy?

I mean, come on...

...that’s too easy!

So, enjoy the weekend.

Get out there and have some fun.

Remember those who gave their lives so you can have beers and hot dogs.

Friday might take a month every week...

...but the return to work comes in a blink.

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
