It's here...I'm really stoked about getting my Trike 8 in yesterday. It's like no other form of alternative transportation. It arrived yesterday morning---i was off most of the day because school was cancelled at LIT due to flooding. It was a good day off. I did make it to the retirement reception for the school dean, Dr. Shipper, yesterday. It was a good send-off for a good man and strong leader...I was shocked and saddened by the untimely death of John Ritter. I still think "Three's Company" is the best sit-com of all time. I believe ABC will be hard pressed to find a suitable replacement father for the "8 Simple Rules" Show. I think Bob Saget could pull it off though. Plus, he is loved by millions of people world wide...I voted against Proposition 12 today---it was difficult to choose between greedy trial lawyers and Big Insurance---so i flipped a coin and the lawyers won...

Joe Schmo...I know i'm starting to be pushy here, but if any of you guys have not seen "Joe Schmo" on Spike TV---well, you should definitely check it out. It's GREAT TV. Matt Gould really does believe the game "Lap of Luxury" is real. My new favorite character is "Dr. Pat", the marriage counselor whose been married three times. Molly, "the Virgin" is pretty cool too. She's from the Beaumont area supposedly...I bought two new CD's today---Seal and John Mayer. I've only listened to half of the Seal CD, but i like what i've heard so far...I've taken on a big database project for the college of nursing. I'm gonna use all of the proceeds to make my triumphant return to futures/commodities trading. I'm following the March Corn and May Lean Hogs Contracts at this time---big profit opportunities. Likely, by this time next year, i'll have enough cash to hire a staff of writers to publish this blog for me...

Catch Up...Friday, Co-worker Sharon and I made it to the hottest new fast food place in Beaumont---The Philly Connection. My chicken works sandwich was hot and delicious, and the service was friendly. When i start eating bread again ( i'm going back on no sugar/flour tomorrow) i'll be heading back for more...Albert and i were totally entertained watching Freddy V. Jason yesterday (john flaked on us---he's been shady lately, and has been spending all of his time playing the online game "Earth and Beyond"). I purchased the largest drink possible going into the movie, drank it fast, and was miserable the final 20 minutes of the movie...Before the movie I stopped by the Coinstar machine at Bruce's Market Basket---i cashed my change for $13.53---It would have been nearly $15.00 had it not been for the 8.9% charge. It still more than paid for my movie however...Today was my sister's birthday, so I joined with a large group of various family members after church to celebrate at Rio Rita's. It was good---i still love the Chile Relleno. Unfortunately, Jenny and Amber aren't nearly as friendly to me when Co-worker Darrell isn't around...After watching the first couple of episodes tonight, I am completely hooked on Spike TV's new program "Joe Schmo" where this unfortunate guy thinks he's part of a reality TV show. All the other contestants are actors. "The Hutch" is my favorite character so far, and i cannot wait for Tuesday's episode. The "Hands on a High-Priced Hooker game" was unbelievable...
