Although I’m bummed about my Mom, I’m going to try and enjoy this long weekend.  4th of July is my favorite holiday… BBQ, fireworks, warm weather, it’s just the perfect holiday (although it might be a tad better if it required costumes!)

Before I forget, today was a good Groupon… Especially if you are in the Palmdale, Torrance or Murrieta areas!

Stench has been a man of mystery the last few days, secret deals, unknown sex injuries… hopefully he’ll clear some of that stuff up next week.

I was at the CRN yesterday… Always fun, they’re good people!

The Insana Quotient has been going great… We are launching on KGIL here in L.A. August 1st from 4-6a… So if you’re up early give us a listen.

Ever try to do something nice and get treated like you did something wrong?  Yesterday I went to take the trash out and as I was walking back from the trash cans I noticed a card on the ground, it was someones ATM card.  I’m new to the building and have only met a few of the other tenants (There’s only 6 units) and to be totally honest don’t remember any of their names.  So I figure I’ll knock on my neighbors door and ask if they know who the card belongs too.  I ring the bell, a woman answers who I have not met before, I introduce myself as her upstairs neighbor and ask if she knows who the person named on the card is… ends up it was her husband.  She then proceeds to quiz me on who I am and where I got the card, like I stole it… If I had somehow taken her husbands card why would I then return it?!?!

I bought the kids the “popper” sampler pack at the market yesterday… It’s the closest thing to fireworks you can get in L.A.

Tater Tots are deadly… especially if you’re stuck in a hole in the wall?  Don’t let the bed bugs bite.  I have an idea, put some clothes on that kid!  I’m sure they’re iStunned.   There is something Fishy about this whole thing!  Are you really a “math genius” if you turn down that much money?  I know what I’m getting Stench for Christmas!!!

Have a safe and relatively sane 4th of July Weekend!

Rock On, Jack

My Mom was laid off yesterday… She has a great attitude and has some opportunities, but it still sucks.  There is no such thing as job security anymore… Or any kind of confidence that when you lose your job you’ll be able to find another one.   At some point things have to turn around… Right?

Hung out with the kids yesterday which is always fun.  They’ll be back this weekend for the holiday, so I’m looking forward to spending some more time with them very soon!  I took Lucy to buy some books yesterday while we were out… She finished the ones I had previously purchased her and that was our deal… Her reading skills are advancing pretty quickly and I don’t want the summer break to slow her progress.  Bing also thinks he can read… But he more or less gives you his interpretation of the illustrations, which are usually pretty close to the real text.

I need to get on Wipeout… I might not win, but I will surely look like a dork!

I’ve been really enjoying the podcast lately… 3 years, 0ver 800 shows deep and we’re still going, who would have thought it would have lasted this long?

Daryl Hannah hates your nanny!  Not as surprised as we were!  I missed another chase... and I drive right through where this one started every morning at 1:30a.  Speaking of lay offs.   Drunks now have to blow. kids love beer.  Quit killing this!  Off to the dead letter office.   Gross!

Rock On, Jack
