PEANUT BUTTERY BEVERLY!!!
Looks like I'm going to Costco and picking up a new TV for the Great Room about a year ahead of schedule. Completely out of the blue, one of the video inputs on the 10-year-old JVC just up and died. And I don't have a spare input.
my brother in law, who has been in philly for a stem cell transplant is home. hes been home for 3 weeks and is doing great!!! his counts are up and doing well. his son, my nephew, goes to a business school and they have a harvest king every year. instead of the kids voting and making it a popularity contest, they do a raise money for your favorite charity and he who raises the most wins.well, he won!! limphoma soc. was his charity. i wasnt able to attend the festival when he got crowned but i talked to my sister. my nephew is 6-8 300lbs and is very quiet. my brother in law was able to go with my sister to the crowning. he was crowned and had to give a speach. its a good thing i wasnt there. he stood up in front of 1000 people and talked about limphoma, how is uncle (my brother) passed away at 44 from it and how his dad has been fighting it for a year now. he said how his father is his hero and is proud of him, and the courage he has everyday to fight! (ok, i would be bawling like a 2 year old by now if i were there.) he gave the old john cappelletti speach.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YdgWihXJvE . proud of the big guy!!
I didn't know they were on! What did I miss?
Our son checked-out of his command yesterday but he still has to do his farewell tour tomorrow morning and make a stop at the personnel/payroll office. Then, he comes home for the weekend; heads back Sunday to his apartment in MD; leaves for FL on Tuesday on the auto-train; checks in with the Blues on Thursday or Friday!

) We should come up with a really cool name for The Dis Dad Dec trip
This is what I came up with
So I guess you won't be paying for all the December DIS DADs vacations?Just got back from AC, well looks like I will still have to work
I thought I saw some smoke rising in the Southwest.... mystery solved!On the way home, my wife was sleeping, so I started thinking (now you know what you smelled burning
On the way home from work I was listening to the sports talk radio station and the host got way off track. He decided that his trivia theme for the day would be famous tv quotes. As soon as I heard that I started dialing.
You had to get three in a row to win the prize pack. I actually got through and they put me on hold as I listened to moron after moron get such easy quotes wrong. But I never got my chance at stardom because they had to clear the phone lines since the segment was running too long. I stopped to get my hair cut and 20 minutes later I'm in the car again. Lo and behold, they're still trying to give the tickets away! As the host was about to get off the air, he says, "OK, if someone can tell me which tv show had the line "who loves ya, baby?", you'll win. I get through again! The phone rings, and rings, and rings. Finally, a voice says "What's your answer?". "KOJAK!!", I say. Yes! We have a winner! So the wife and I get two movie passes and I get a dozen bagels from some place I never heard of. I've worked at my current job for 7 years and have always been the guy to eat bagels but never to bring bagels. Now I get to bring them. Pretty exciting stuff. I haven't won anything on the radio since Huey Lewis tickets in 1987.
My wasted youth in front of the tv finally paid off.
Some of the quotes people got wrong were:
Good night, Gracie.
Up your nose with a rubber hose.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Oh, Elizabeth. This is the big one.
