Just stopping by

I am back.  I see I have not posted since late July and figure I should spit one out as this is the end of November.  Life has been life since we last spoke.  I had orignally decided to comment on a comment I received on a 2006 posting in late July of 2012.  I see I touched upon it in my last post.  Oh well.

I was driving last week and I look in my rearview mirror to see some Korean dude in sunglasses.  All I could think is this guy looks like Psy of "Gangnam Style".  Then it occurred to me, and this may seem racist, all Korean males, that I have seen, with sunglasses on look like Psy or....Kim Jong-Il.  I found this funny.  Then gain, all balding Jewish men with glasses look like my father, so it just goes to show you.  Not really sure what it goes to show you, it is just a fucking observation....extrapolated out for a while.

Well, just to update y'all.  The basement has been completed.  The painting occurred before the carpet was laid.  The wife did the walls in the basement and some of the trim as she had time off.  I did the white walls down the stairs, the stucco, the ceilings and the doors.  I spent a Saturday doing the stairs.  I sweat out about 2 lbs of water.  It was a wild experience.  It came together well and when the carpet was laid, we were good to go. 

It was at this point that Wife took ill.  We were able to move the furniture back, including the heavy pull out bed/couch.  That night, the Wife began her, and my, week from hell.  It consisted of no sleep at night, just puking (all for the Wife), sleep by day and two trips to the emergency room (which did nothing).  This occurred during the Lad's final week at camp.  In the midst of all this, the Wife's uncle dies and funeral is on the same day as the Lad returns from camp.  The Wife is still not well enough to make the funeral, let alone pick up the Lad.  I get the Lad and give him the good news and the bad news.  He gets to go to a funeral before he gets home to see his mother.  I found it funny that the whole family--the Wife's brother, sister, aunt, uncle and cousin along with my mother, brother and sister saw the Lad before his mother did. 

I also had to run to the store, or is that walk, to get the Wife some ginger ale and Powerade.  I also had to complete the baseboard trim on the stucco by myself on the Saturday before the Lad came home.  It just needed to be finished.  All is well now, though the Wife has not put back on the weight she lost while puking and not eating much.  She is loving her applesauce though. 

That is the best I can give you in the catching up department.  I could go on about the Dayton crew, but I will not at this point.

Good luck and I hope to be back later.  Ciao!
