Bad Hair Tuesday

One bit of happy news - IT'S A GIRL!!! Jenny had her ultra sound and and a healthy little girl is on the way!
--------------------------------------

Another bit of news is I passed my Bartending License exam.

Is it too late to play the "I was bullied" card? I had the snot kicked out of me in Junior High. Although while I was pretty bloodied I did happen to land a surprising right hook and gave the dude a black eye which made me sort of a legend for the rest of the year!

He was not actually expecting me to fight back . . . then he REALLY tore into me! What did I do to deserve a snot kicking? I showed no fear (I guess I should have)and did not back down (big mistake).

My other mistake was when he had a hold of me and said put your arms down and I said something like "I'm not afraid of you" and then he blasted my face. hmmmmmm wrong reply I guess! Oddly I remember that I was more concerned with where my glasses flew more then the the warm sticky red substance coming from my mouth! Once I found them I was pissed off, took a swing, landed a right hook (the guy was WAY bigger them me - was I STUPID?)

It became pretty much one sided after that.

Went to Nepoli's Saturday night with Josh, Jenny, Caydence, and DJ and had a fantastic meal. The Cajun Chicken over Pasta is awesome. Just a hint of hotness - perfect.

I asked Sarah the Manager about the "for sale" thing and it was a broker brain fart mistake. There is no way they are leaving. The place is the "IT" place to go in Columbus for a good, relatively inexpensive great Italian meal. Entree's are in the $8 to $12 range. The pizza is real New York Style pizza.

We left about 8:30 and people were still coming in. ALTHOUGH - my one tiny blip this time was it was a little cool in there, just a heads up. Dress warmly.

Serious good place to go.

For any gamblers out there.

My BIG pick in the NFL is San Diego -3.5, this is an "A" pick which over 18 years are hitting over 76% (53-16)in real time betting. 2-1 this year - underperforming.

Also in the NBA take the Lakers -7 and the OVER 196.

OH - The Cowboys just got a little more easy to beat (if that could actually happen).

Had a very weird thing happen Saturday. We were driving past the old Mautz Paint store on East Wash and for some reason I thought of a Manager of Mautz that I knew about 25 years ago. He had retired and was the owner of a Comic book shop next to a liqueur store I worked at (and was held up by gun point but that is a different story . . .I should have kicked that guys ass!).

Anyway I thought of him and then just as quickly forgot about him.

We go the the Sun Prairie Target and are looking around and an old guy and a younger helper go by and . . . . . wait . . . . . was that the Mautz guy? NO WAY - couldn't be!!! And I walked around for 10 minutes with a big "?" above my head.

Saw them again and walked up and asked if he was the guy! YUP - I don't think of a guy for 25 years, think of him and half an hour later I'm talking to him!

TOO WEIRD!
-----------------------------------

Weather - hold on - you ain't seen NUTTIN YET!! You call this morning a storm? phhtttttt - it was a warm up!

Why is it that 40 mph winds and blasting rain against my window irritates me UNTIL the alarm goes off and then it's soothing.

A driving hint. Stay on the windward side of big trucks. No need to have one tipping over on you as you pass it.

Have a bad hair day!

cheers
