SS box is on the way. As soon as it was packed and taped, I realized I left most of the price tags on. So, SIA for being poor and cheap.

Some of the stuff I sent was free thanks to my wife's job.

The Mr. and I are big breakfast people and had the opportunity to go out together this morning. We had a most amazing breakfast this morning at a strip mall dive place owned by a Greek guy named Ted. Just unbelievable. Thank you, Yelp.

In Knoxville?

Yep. Next time you're here, try Colonel's Deli on Newcom.

Can't really check my FB at work but just saw that I got this email:

"Kenbear S. said he was with you near Harbor Heights, Washington."

Sorry that I didn't see this earlier and OK it.

This. At times, he gets really upset with my attention to the laptop and just lies on top of it. Ususally it results in some sort of address bar being lost (F11 restores, FYI), but today I left it on FB when I had just commented on ACP's status. He's clearly not as eloquent as Louis.

Tell him to send me a friend request.

He's not your guy. He is the one who prefers the box that is too small for him, rather than the perfectly sized box right next to him.

I'm hosting our annual "Blazers Season Ticket Draft" today, sponsored by "Chipotle Mexican Grill™". There are 5 of us in the office and I get the #3 overall pick. Draft is serpentine in nature and no Tigerfan, this is not PPR league.

Those of you who have had the honor of playing fantasy basketball with me over the years understand that I know very little about this NBA sport. In fact, I'm not sure who the major draws are this year, so if you have any thoughts about games I should target, feel free to give me some advise.

Obviously, the Heat and Lakers games will go 1 & 2, so I'm looking for the 3rd best game here, then any other games you guys think would be good match-ups.

Thanks and bless you all!

Having done many of these over the years, the hot tickets are always the Eastern Conference games against contenders (Miami, Chicago, boston), Friday and Saturday night games and games against big draw names (Oklahoma City, Lakers, Clippers, Mavs). Late season is also typically more desirable than early season, so a Friday, Saturday night game against a big Eastern Conference team or a big draw name is likely your first choice.

Heading to Nicaragua in the morning.

GMTAN investment consortium: what kind of property would we like to invest in? Beachfront? Lakefront? City? (I'm leaning city due to having now turned down three dozen people for rentals in less than two months.) Just let me know.

City. If I can be your Jack Nicholson maintenance guy in the summers.**I promise no family murders.**

**local prostitutes not exempt.

Also, for you.

K4>saw a show on TLC called A Place in the Sun. It's all about foreign real estate. I watch it because the hostess is smoking hot.

Anyway, they were in southern Nicaragua last week, looking for an estate with casitas to rent out to surfers. You probably don't want to spread your empire that thin, just yet.

They were probably near San Juan del Sur, where I'll be Mon-Wed. Great beaches and surfing, and the "beach" spot I was considering for the second purchase.

This day in history for Tanner - 200 years ago today an earthquake along the New Madrid fault line caused the Mississippi river to briefly run backwards

I had a teacher explain to me that the Mississippi flowed south because of gravity, and that gravity pulled all rivers south. This was in high school. In AP History. I asked her about the St. Lawrence and she explained to me that it wasn't a true river.

that teacher should not be teaching.

I actually had another teacher pull me aside later that year and tell me to cool it because I was pretty relentless in making fun of her to anyone who would listen. I even wrote a fake research paper about the people of Tierra del Fuego being a wealthy culture, because every time anyone to the north of them dropped something it eventually ended up passing through there (because of gravity), and they had set up automated catcher machines that looked like big soccer goals. I even drew pictures of ancient tribes of Tierra del Fuego with two-handed "catchers" that looked like three-foot-wide leather satellite dishes.

updates on recent posts1 - Wife ended up being that parent and contacted the principal of my son's school. The principal replied that it is their policy to follow up on an unannounced absence. She thanked my wife for bringing it to her attention and she will follow up with her office as to why it wasn't done.2 - Ticketmaster can suck the superglue out of a Gaddafi tortured prisoner's sealed urethra. Those SOB's don't only want to charge me an arm and a leg for their services, they make me enter a security code, over and over again just to find out that tickets aren't available. Probably entered a damn security code (one of those jumbled, blurred letter things) 100 times this morning trying to get Bulls tickets for my kid's Christmas present. Ended up going to StubHub, and probably paid about 10% more, but the transaction was done in 2 minutes. I can now take solace in the fact that my money's not going to those TM bastards.

Why not just go to the ticket office?

Because I'm working.

Looks like it.

Monday, Dec 2676ers10:00 pmOPENING NIGHT WHEN HOPE IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH double check to ensure no TV football conflict

Friday, Apr 13Mavericks10:30 pmESPN

ONLY MAVS GAME IN PORTLAND AND NEAR SEASON END

Thursday, Mar 1Heat10:30 pmTNT

ONLY HEAT MATCHUP ALL YEAR - This and Mavs both would have high re-sell value if you cannot go

=====================

After these three, I would concentrate on Feb and March games when sports is in death throes for all things not basketball or hockey. Go for weekend nights, since they would be easiest to sell or trade.

You guys wanna take any guesses what a holiday concert of 8 french horn playing 6th graders with about 4 months under their belts sounds like?oof

My wife teaches the violin, viola, and cello. The first recital I went to some time ago she had 20 some students play a song at the same time. I was hanging out in the back with one of the dads, and told him it sounded like someone kicked a box of violins down the stairs.

What's a viola?

Not buying this.

My landline was ringing, which it hardly ever does anymore, unless its something important. Its in the bedroom so I need to scramble to answer it, because the voicemail went out.

Getting up from the couch, I trip over the cord to my laptop. I slip down and hit my knee on the tile. The cord to the laptop breaks off inside the laptop, but not before it drags the laptop across the coffee table and knocks my cup of coffee directly onto my cell phone and a fresh back of American Spirit Organics.

I limp into the bedroom and lucking catch the call on the fifth ring.

Its the benevolent organization of sheriff deputies seeking a donation.

Slap me in the nuts?

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

I NEVER answer my landline. It's either something like the above mentioned donation seekers or the Marines trying to recruit my kid (bonehead sent away for a free t-shirt and duffel bag and now they won't leave him alone).

The only reason we still have one is my wife is convinced that as soon as we get rid of it, there will be some natural disaster that will knock out cell coverage but somehow not affect the cable or power. That, and the cable company seems to think that it makes sense to charge more for an Internet/tv bundle than an Internet/tv/phone bundle.

My wife texted me yesterday about how she was so proud of how the two of us are handling the divorce, and then has spent the last 24 hours doing just the opposite. Backhanded comments, strange behavior at the Scout meeting last night, telling mutual friends and family that she feels abandoned, etc.

And then the best move today, is I log into Mint to check the balance on our joint account to know what I can spend on Christmas presents tomorrow and I find it has a grand total of 7 bucks in it. We had already agreed that money for the kids presents would come from this account and neither of us would leave the other one in the cold. Guess she thinks I can get by at the dollar store.

Thankfully I was ready for that and have plenty in my account to cover Christmas, but it really just pissed me off. I can't wait for this divorce to be final.

Today I "caught" a 23 year old nymph eyeing package not once, not twice, not thrice, but five times. She also told me her email address and where she works. After saying she wasn't into astrology, she used a chalkboard to detail her knowledge of numerology. Her birthyear is 1988. I immediately thought of our GB Zooks and dropped my birthyear with an ironic comment. The plan: if she rolls with the joke, she's cool like Zooks' 22 year old. If not, I just became 'the creepy guy.'

She rolled with it.

Which was awesome. I went as far as I could in Zooks' life, and for a moment, felt like a GMTAN rockstar.

He's the one who told me to take the Mavericks. I also have the Rockets on Feb 8th if you'd like to fly yourself in for that one. These are club level seats, which means ALL YOU CAN EAT. Carving stations, pasta bars, pizza buffets, free Twix bars, endless hot dogs, warm pretzles. Only thing you have to buy is booze, but I'm sure you can sneak in some wine in a flask.
