They say there is no rest for the wicked. Ergo, I must be wicked, because I have had no rest. While the weather has been scattershot, ranging from quite chilly to blazingly hot and the grass has continue to grow against my wishes, I haven’t had much time to take any of it in because I’ve been busy meeting friends, going on dates, bailing people out of jail, and jetting off to New Jersey to meet celebrities – all over the course of the two weeks that followed my Florida trip.

News on the March

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

March 2012 was another one of those ‘a little bit of this, a little bit of that’ months. It was a continuation of the transition felt in February, as I moved out of my relationship with Jamie and continued passing the time by going out here and there, making appearances everywhere. Although I had considered a trip to go to Chicago for the celebrity show there, I couldn’t get anyone else in going and frankly, the celebs themselves were not of a high enough caliber to draw me in (and I had met or will meet most of the ones who were).

Miscellaneous February 2012

Friday, March 16th, 2012

Time seems to by flying this year. I’m not sure why. Maybe because of the lack of focus. It keeps bouncing all over the board between nursing the heartbreak of a lost romance, hanging out with friends, going out on dates, traveling across the country, nursing the heartbreak of a lost romance, catching a celebrity here and there, watching movies non-stop, and making plans for travels for the year.

For week, maybe even months, before we actually departed for the 8th International Convention of the Sons of the Desert, my friend Jon Petering kept telling me, “Buddy, I can’t wait to get on that plane.” Yes, for some odd reason one of my fellow Kroger baggers was going along with us to Las Vegas to attend the convention. It was a little odd, because he had no real interest in Laurel and Hardy, but the allure of Las Vegas and the untold pleasures he could find there was too much to resist. In the end, his favorite quote was “Buddy, there’s nothing to do here”, and he spent a lot of his time sitting in the room watching baseball. Read the rest of this entry »

Birthday Weekend in Chicago

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

In return for taking Jamie to Indianapolis for her birthday weekend, she agreed to take me to Chicago to celebrate my birthday weekend. Of course, since I’m the planner, I made the arrangements and itinerary for the trip, which would include celebrities, diners, landmarks, and movie locations – and hopefully a lot of fun for both of us. I had liked the way Jason and I had only driven part-way on Friday night the last time we had gone to Chicago just six weeks earlier, so I decided to do the exact same thing this time.
