Okay, it’s a gray day in my world, and it has nothing to do with the cloud cover here in Seattle.  No, I’m lost in that awful limbo where football season is over, but baseball season hasn’t yet started.  Yeah, I know the Olympics are going on, and that’s cool and all.   But it’s not the same.  

Right now Alexis’s ‘keets are head-bobbin’ to Kid Rock.  I love that they’re little  head bangers.   Can’t fault their taste in music, either.  They seem to like a little of everything from metal to hiphop to the twangiest of country.   Old rock?  They love it.  Blues?   They get their little groove on.   It’s cute.

Oh, by the way, I think Jake’s a dead man.  He might just not know it yet.   The idiot sent Brenna a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day.  Seriously.  Are you hearing me?    A box of chocolates to Trahern’s woman.   She thought it was sweet.   I won’t repeat what Trahern had to say on the subject, but it was colorful and pretty impressive how he strung all those obscenities together without repeating himself.   It didn’t help that Jake also sent one of those kid-sized boxes of chocolate to Trahern as well.  Gotta give the still-breathing corpse credit for a ballsy move.   I’ll let you know how it plays out.  

I, on the other hand, bought a couple of boxes of those little Valentines kids exchange at school and gave one to everybody in sight.   My efforts were not appreciated.   I was hurt, I can tell you.   I even included some of those little candy hearts.  

Enjoy your day—

Oo-rah!   That was some game~~me and the guys had one heck of a good time hooting and hollering and  having an all around good time.   We were pretty evenly divided on which team we thought would win.   Alexis figured she didn’t really have a horse in that race, but as the game went on, she found herself cheering on the Saints.   Did anyone see the stat they flashed up on the screen after the game?   The one that pointed out the Saints had won 3 games in this post season series.  In the previous 42 years, they’d won 2–yeah, a total of 2 in 42 yrs.  No wonder they were partying big time after they won.   And a salute to the Colts, too.  They had one heck of a season.

Nuf about football.   We had sunshine this weekend and Saturday it was up to almost 60 degrees!   A far cry from the weather on the East Coast.   We’ve got rhodedendrons in bloom already, and Alexis noticed the bush by the deck is already leafing out.  Boy, if winter ever does arrive out here, the plants are sure to take a big hit.

I know some of you thought I should lay off of Hunter.   So does that mean I should remind him that his book is officially out two weeks from tomorrow???  Seriously?      tick tick tick    Of course, it could show up earlier in some places.  tick tick tick.

Happy Monday,

D.J.  

Wow!  Did anyone notice the calendar?   Today is February 1^st!     Which means three weeks from tomorrow is the official release date of Hunter’s book, Defeat the Darkness.  The poor guy is probably bouncing off the walls as he watches the minutes ticking away.   I know I would be, but then I tend to do that anyway.
