Random Song Quote of the Day

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here

Random Song Quote of the Day

Got what I got the hard way
And I'll make it better each and every day
So honey don't fret
Cause you ain't seen nothing yet

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
Play it Steve!
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

Blue Brothers, Soul Man

Saturday Update

Happy Saturday everyone. I hope Mary got out of the hospital, we have not heard from her since we went to visit her on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Doug has been a bit under the weather yesterday and today. Ashley had Friday off from school, so she went shopping with Sam. She had to get a gift for the Hy Vee Floral holiday party next weekend at Osaka. Next Tuesday she has the Hy Vee 2005 Service Award Dinner at the Prairie Creek Lodge in Sqauw Creek Park. Thomas will be leaving for his Chicago trip next week. I hope he has a bunch of fun like he did in Dallas last year. I guess that is all I have for now, not much planned for this weekend.

Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I've got a hold of that string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go

Friday Update

Friday at last. It has felt like a very long week. Yesterday I got to leave work one hour early. It was because on Wednesday I had 50% call to order, with $78 as the average order amount. Last night I mostly just washed dishes and watched Cops. I have no exciting plans for the weekend. Maybe I will try to finish raking the leaves in the yard, if the weather is nice.

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream.

Thursday Update

After what seemed like a very long day at work, I meet Doug and Ashley at St Luke's and we went to visit Mary. We brought her a nice bouquet of flowers that Ashley picked up at the Hy Vee floral department. She is recovering well and is eating liquids in one ounce servings. She was probably a little sore after we left because Doug kept making her laugh. That is about all I have for now. Oh, one more thing. Can someone explain what is the Ali G Show?

Random Song Quote of the Day

Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go; little high, little low
anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me
To me

Wednesday

Happy Wednesday everyone. Doug went to visit Mary in the hospital yesterday. She is doing very well and may get to go home on Thursday. Tonight after work, I plan to meet Doug and Ashley at St. Luke's and we will all go to visit her. The high today is supposed to be around 69, so go out and enjoy the day if you get a chance.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.

Our Halloween went pretty well. We had 6 trick-or-treaters. I think that is 2 more than last year. Ashley wore her cat ears and a tail, Mao did not know what to think. We watched Shawn of the Dead. This was the first time that I watched the whole movie. I think it is hilarious.
