Weddings and Cadillac's

Well I took a month off from blogging to try and focus on several key projects of life (job search, home projects, pampering wife to better health, and building a hockey team). Of all my projects the only one still not coming to fruition is the job search. I have been a candidate for a few positions but they have not bailed out. I keep working on it daily, sniffing out leads and trying to find opportunities. Though our job market is not as bad as others most of the jobs are in the lower tier jobs (those not requiring a college graduate). I am not quite ready to start my career as a waiter.

As for Becky she is moving around quite well in her ankle brace and is progressing nicely at physical therapy. She will be heading off this weekend to Michigan to see her brother get married. I wish I could go but to save money on finances I am staying home and she is being escorted by Mel. I figure if Mel can be my protector on the hockey team she should be able to handle Becky. As for handling Becky's family that is yet to be determined. I guess I should warn her about how quickly they can swarm on you. No, never mind I had to learn it on my own so I'll let her have the experience.

Saw my parents yesterday as they zipped in to drop off their dogs and run to a car dealership. Mom and Dad decided it was time for them to have some luxury in their life. So they bought a Cadillac SRX. When they came back home I noticed that both of them were in the new car. It was then that I realized that the cash for clunkers was over with or else one of them would not have returned. Of course maybe that is why they waited for the program to be over with so that I could not have teased them about it. Too late I'll find a way to tease them some how.

On the hockey front we won our first game of the new session last weekend 3-2 in overtime. It was our first overtime win in a long time. Last session we lost all of our overtime games. Our next game is Saturday @ 6:30pm. Love to see you there if you can make it.

Finally a Divine update. Our little Miss Divine has really started to come out of her shell. She is a puppy in a four year old dogs body. She loves to play and has begun to talk to us on a daily basis. We are not always sure what she is saying but we think she is quite happy to have us. We have introduced her to my parents backyard of which she has turned it into one of her racing circuits. Her new friend is my parents dog Pepper. The two of them play and wrestle all of the time. Unfortunately for Pepper, Divine is too fast.

One final note. I never intended to use this blog for political statements but I felt that I must say this. I am not happy with the the new health care bill. My reasoning is this. Part of the American dream is to work and then retire someday. Upon that retirement us guys are supposed to pull our pants up to our chest, eat our prunes, move to Florida, and complain about taxes and health care. With the way our government is going all I am going to have to complain about is taxes and that does not bode well with me. Am I expected to lose half my conversation time and use it for more nap time? So I beg you please don't fix health care, I will need this to complain about someday.

I hope that little take gives you a funnier way of looking at things today. Well must be off, but I look forward to seeing you soon.
