Happy Birthday Angela Channel
It’s my sister’s birthday today… So happy birthday, may you rescue a dog, see a whale or whatever else you enjoy today!
I had an Ok long weekend… It was great to have four days in a row where I didn’t have to wake up crazy early! Before I returned them, the kids and I got some bike riding in, went to the park with friends and celebrated Angie’s birthday. After they left, I hung out with some old friends, went to brunch in Pasadena, did some cycling and had a breakfast with my Mommy.
I’ve decided to extend summer one more week since Lucy doesn’t return to school until next Monday. We are going to Legoland and to hangout in San Diego next weekend… Then the white loafers get mothballed until next summer!
I’ve been in kind of a strange mood lately… Partly based on my own life and partly because of the state of the economy. I have been more entrenched in politics and finance because of The Insana Show, and it has had me more worried, the more I know. Although, it’s not all doom and gloom… but I think without a doubt job growth will be extremely slow.
On a personal note, I think it’s now really sinking in that this is the rest of my life… Not having my kids around everyday, spending over half my time alone, having to deal with someone I want out of my life. I know no one truly has total control over their life, but it seems like the majority of mine is being controlled by outside forces… And the part I rule over is not that exciting. Anyway, enough of my drivel, let’s get to some news:
Talk about having trouble finding an apartment… Do you smoke? Yes. Do you have a dog? Yes. Does your dog smoke? I’ve had nightmares like this! Seems very uncomfortable. Japan does everything better. 1/3 of you are right. You know the economy is bad when people can’t afford bullets.
Rock on, Jack

This is not the rest of your life, this is the now of your life.
Treasure each wonderful moment, and let go of the bad ones.
It ain’t easy, but it is possible to put in some happy thoughts when crap tries to take over.
I hated hearing it, but it really is all about choices.
You cannot change all the things that happen in your life, but you can Choose how you react to them.
Read some Chuang Tsu , he taught me how to learn to “go with the flow”.
luv ya grasshopper…
