Back with a vengance

I am back, bitches! Wow, nearly 10 days since my last post. I am getting very bad. I have been very busy, in my defence, but that is no excuse. I can breath again, so that is good...and bad.

Anyway, the kitchen is coming along. The floor was laid last Saturday (looks great) and the grout was done yesterday. The cabinets are in and finished (look great, too). Apparently, the appliances arrived today (looks great, I am told). I do not know if the stove is functional but I know the dishwasher is not. It needs to be hooked up to the plumbing. There is no counter top so that means no sink, either (under mount sink) so there is no preparation surface. Not to mention that without the counter, there is no way to tile the back splash. It also needs to be painted. But it is better and more along than the open hole that it was two weeks ago.

On that note, I just read where "Catholic bishops on Friday condemned the destruction of human embryos for stem cell research as a "gravely immoral act" in the organization's first formal statement on the issue". Funny, that is a gravely immoral act, but they did not seem to quick to condemn or really move on priests diddling altar boys now did they? I do not recall the condemnation there. Of course, how many of the bishops got their licks (pardon the pun) in while they were priests. They got theirs, so the current priest should be able to get them some.

Go fucking figure! I do not want to paint all priest as diddlers, they are not. The official response has been pathetic. It makes me wonder what kind of moral stand that the Church and bishops can take that would not come across as being hypocritical. I guess that is for somebody else to sort out.

A belated HB greeting to Willie. He had another birthday. It seems to happen every year around the same time. Go figure.

That is all for today. I will not go into my weekend spending time with The Wife's siblings. Suffice it to say, it is rarely time well spent for me. Just once, I wish somebody in the Outlaw clan could actually shut the voices off in their head, listen and follow fucking instructions. Ahhh...to dream the impossible dream. Then again, if that is something I dream about, my life is pretty pathetic.

Have a great weekend, one and all! Ciao!
