Good News, Bad News

The good news... we finally found a toilet we think will fit in our bathroom. The bad news... it won't arrive for a month. Which means for the next month, we'll have to continue to use the bathroom on the first floor. Not the end of the world, but definitely a pain in the arse. And a big thanks to Lowes for helping us find a toilet that should fit. The salesperson there called all the manufacturers to get the specific dimensions for us. Meanwhile the salesperson at Home Depot wasn't going to do that and they were going to charge us a 15% restocking fee if we needed to return it.

This is for the ladies... for all you girls who were just the right age in the late eighties/early nineties and just couldn't help yourselves from swooning over Jordan and Joey.

So the wife and I went for a nice walk after work today. It's a mile or so to downtown, so we walked down there and sat at an outdoor table at one of the local watering holes. After a couple of drinks, some onion rings and some soda bread with honey butter, we made the trek back home. I think this might have to become part of our walks. Maybe once a week, take a walk downtown and sit outside with a drink. It was nice just sitting there hanging out and people watching. And a bunch of the restaurants/bars have outdoor seating so we can mix it up and try new places.

Ok everyone, the summer is basically here which means you should come visit us! Heck, we live in Vacationland...it says so right on the license plate. With the exception of a couple of weekends, we don't have any plans for the summer so you're welcome to come up whenever is convenient for you. Wait.. maybe you should wait a couple of weeks.. until we have a toilet in the upstairs bedroom.

The wife has me watching this Ghost Hunters show on SciFi. She's been watching the show for years, but I've only gotten into it recently. I gotta say, there's been a couple of times when it freaks you out. There are some things that happen that are totally unexplainable... very cool stuff. Give it a try some night, maybe watch a couple of episodes. The misses really wants me to contact them to get them to come up here. Everyone seems to think that my building (where I work) is haunted, and she wants them to investigate. Personally, I think she just wants to be on tv.

Tough game last night for the Celtics. They didn't play well at all, and still almost walked out with a win. At times, it seemed like they were running in sand, like they had lead in their shoes. Even though they lost, its a good sign that they could play that poorly and still almost get a win. And I, of course, am going to stick to my original prediction of the Celtics in six.
