Received the sad news that Ramona Horn passed away. She was my friend and we became close over the years by bonding by bacon. In addition to pretty alliteration, her friendly, loving nature just made both P and me want to hang out together.
She apparently had a heart attack and passed away.
The world is missing an Angel.
RIP my friend Mona.

In case nobody told you, it is inadvisable to drink while blogging. You might end up offending family, friends or a loved one. This is my little contribution to the din of blogdom. I promise nothing. But it will soon be obvious as you read that I am the most intillegint person ever. Just remember, DON'T DRINK AND BLOG!

Hello Dollies!
Diabeetus Alert
My Mother, if that is her real name, makes delicious tasty morsels of pure ecstasy commonly known as Hello Dollies.
These delicious little creations are routinely bequeathed to me and my siblings on special occasions such as Thanksgiving, birthdays and Christmas.
To say that the Hello Dollie is delicious is like comparing Dr. Ruth to Jessica Alba. They are, in a word, heavenly. Some kind of graham, buttery crust on the bottom, with chocolate and then this indescribable buttery sweet caramelized layer topped with coconut. Oh and interspersed with chocolate kisses or some kind of chocolaty nugget things. It just makes me want to cry not having one right now.
Lots has changed. But there are STILL no flying cars. Dammit. Regardless, I have some help for JP finally so I decided to do a little housekeeping and visit my old friend. Might write a little again. Who knows.

Been a while
Hi again, dear old friend
I sure did enjoy typing stuff on this blog. Enjoyed learning and doing the one thing that I dreamed of someday pursuing, writing.
But life gets in the way and the next thing you know you're an old bastard and although you're a pretty happy guy, you realize that there's just a whole different set of priorities that come with really growing as a person and a family.
But I still thought about coming back periodically and putting my thoughts on this wonderful, fun and sometimes elucidating thing called a blog.
Well, I am one hell of a happy guy. Found a wonderful (and really, wonderful) girl, have two little doggies and business is going well (in spite of the prevailing crap economy lol).
I did a little traveling this last year and I want to put some of the trip up. Why not put it up here?

Sweet P at O'Hare ready to board, first leg to Japan |
We flew Japan Airlines and it was simply the best flight I've ever been on. Super polite, extra comfortable seats, we drank like fish and they didn't care! Great flight, I highly recommend it. |
Me in my underwear at 4am talking to the guys at the office. She couldn't resist. |
We visited Mt Fuji |
You'd think I could figure out how to rotate this. But apparently not... |

Thomas Pedicini
Visited New York. Stopped by the 9/11 memorial. Found Thomas Pedici on the list of names. Took a photo. I remember you Thomas... More later.

If you have to call someone to determine if you've pissed them off...
You have.

Delirious Happiness
“Happiness is a warm puppy.”
- Charles M. Schulz
I think I've lost my ability to blog with any effectiveness. I still enjoy putting words down but it seems like I could once envision what to write and some part of my brain just took over and crafted the words needed into finger motions which produced that vision.
That doesn't happen anymore.
Now I have an idea, begin to consider ways to articulate and something happens like Ali jumping around being cute or Halle playing hide and seek or my beautiful sweet girl will do something that will just derail all thought and I end up doing everything but writing down that idea.
It's not that I don't have ideas. It's not that I can't write or take a few minutes to do what I'm doing now, it's just that something has happened and planning seems to be going out the window in favor of some really good stuff.
So I want to just say this; if you are reading this, be happy. It's a choice. Trust God, because you might not have a plan but he does; for you. I may post something or I may not, but regardless of who you are and what your situation is, I hope good things happen in your life.
And I hope you're happy.
