Man have my updates stunk lately or what? I can admit it. Lately I
have been scratching the bottom of the barrel and also
finding my self with nothing prepared by months end.
I'd like to say I am too busy out balancing a blond and a redhead but
fact be told, I'm working harder and too exhausted
on the weekend to get a clear thought. I also think the fact that I
have a new employer is keeping my creative juices from
flowing. Last year when I didn't even know if I would have a job, it
was easy to make things up. Honestly I didn't really
care about work. The fact that work was not a happy place to be also
gave me some excellent material to work with.
Now I am walking on egg shells. Things at work today are not all
roses, but fact be told, I still have 24 years worth of
mortgage payments and need this job.
However I am going to try and open up a little bit more. I may need
this job but I also need to blow off some steam. My
health since the change has not been great. Mostly nerves I guess. I
don't think it is an ulcer but my stomach is the worse
for wear. I need to get to the gym more or find some alternate means
of exercise, mostly for my sanity.
All right, enough excuses, on with the show.

My body is turning on me. I think the warranty has expired.
Not going into disgusting detail, but my stomach is a wreck. At first
I thought I was getting an ulcer. Now it just seems that
I am not getting enough fiber. I still think it is all stress related
from the new job and extra work load. Waking up in the
middle of the night with painful stomach pains. That's about all the
detail I will go into, lets just say it is not fun.
Now my back is a problem. I have a couple moles. I saw my doctor a
couple months ago and he asked me if I was aware I
had moles on my back. Of course I was not as I do not have the neck
of an owl. So he asks me, do you want to see anyone
about them? I don't know you tell me, you're the doctor, you can see them.
So he sends me to a dermatologist, and I just thought teenagers had skin problems.
So I see this guy and the good news is they are not cancerous. But we
are going to operate anyway. He wants to remove two
of the bigger ones.
I'll keep you posted.

Man will someone please talk me in off the ledge? Another year,
another Bruins failure. Up 3 games to 1 over the
dreaded Montreal Canadians. They only need to win one more game. They
had three chances. In their history they
have never lost a series they were up 3 games to 1. Montreal had
never won a series in which they trailed 3 games
1. Man this one hurt. The Bruins won their division, finished number
2 in the conference. Are they looking for new and
exciting ways to break my heart?
Please help me. I'm on the ledge. Jumping is looking like a decent option, now if I only didn't live on the first floor.

I don't want to sound paranoid, but I think my ideas are being
stolen. Now granted most of my material lately has stunk
but I have two cases that point to me being onto something, or maybe
on something.
Last months Tope Ten, Top Ten Rules that should be Enforced at Gyms.
I noticed after I did that a new poster at my gym.
Gym Etiquette. Hmm. Coincidence? Could be.
Remember my first ever "G! Untrue Hollywood Story"? The
Story of Scooby Doo. I pointed out that Scrappy Doo was
not well received by the fans? Who is the villain in the first Scooby
Doo movie? Scrappy.
Hmm. So maybe my ideas are not a stinky as I thought.

Easter was great. Actually the day before Easter was awesome. It was a Saturday night and I was at Nellos, of course.
I had made some Easter Eggs for the girls. I brought in the normal
Lindt chocolate and added some Easter touches with
Reeses's Easter Eggs and StarBursts. I have the bag of goodies to
Loni who was tending Bar.
Once the other girls found out, I was a star. "George your the
best". "Thank you George". The compliments were raining
down and I felt great.
I think I understand women now, well better then before. They really
love the little things. Flowers and chocolate. Remember
dates like their Birthday or your anniversary. It only took 34 years
but I think I am starting to learn.

I'm a man of my word. Last month when talking about Nello's I said and I quote,
"I still say, they best way to make my web page is show me a little skin."
Well a couple weeks ago I heard my Friday night waitress Lisa, got a
tattoo. I had heard through the grapevine that the
tattoo said, "I "heart" George", which I thought
her husband might dislike. When I saw her the next Friday I
questioned her
about the tattoo. Lisa told me It said "George is a love
god" or something like that. I immediately asked her to write
that on
the women's room wall.
All joking aside, well except the part about me being a love god,
that's true I'm just not sure how Lisa found out, the Tattoo
looked very nice, an angel on her back. She got it as a Christmas
present from her sister. She had it done at a place called
Pleasure and Pain or Pleasure N Pain. I actually used Pleasure N Pain
in my personal ad, no replies yet.

Can someone explain the Hotel thought process to me?
I just got back from a business trip to Philly. Do the hotels think
we are on a different planet? Look at the cost of things.
A small 9 oz water, $1.79. Forget about food,
12 oz filet Mignon, $32.95. Who do I look like, Justin Timberlake.
That Steak is more then the company gives me for one
day of food. Is it a special steak? Was the cow an award winning heffer?
Barbecue Shrimp Appetizer, 4 colossal shrimp stuffed with basil and wrapped in applewood smoked bacon, $14.95.
Do they not want you to eat there?

Well after a grueling ,but successful test, we went out to dinner as a group on the last night.
About 13 or 14 of us went to Victor's Cafe. I figured I eat at
Nello's Cafe all the time, how different can Victor's place
be? Very different.
Victor's Cafe is also known as the Music Lovers Rendezvous. I was
wondering what that meant, it didn't take long to
find out. Outside the door I heard Opera music. My first thought was
Karaoke night. I was wrong. Tradition at Victor's
is for the wait staff to stop every 20 or so minutes and sing. Mostly
Opera. Their voices were great, just not my kind of
music.
This got the group thinking, maybe we should pipe in disaster tunes
during the next test. My recommendation, Metallica's
Sanitarium. Not a disaster song but it fits,
Welcome to where time stands still.
No one leaves and no one will.
