Monday was spent making heavy decisions without any heavy lifting. I contacted a church to see if I could find some help with keeping the house clean. There are people who will help but they want 50 dollars. I don't have 50 dollars to spend.
I still have yet to make the funeral arrangements. I am not looking forward to doing this.
A friend of mine was thought to have committed suicide. Thankfully he has not.

What Men Are Thinking
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one! Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have NO idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really!
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or golf.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping

Looking For Einstein Cars Keys
The Large Hadron Collider costs over 6 billion dollars is 17 miles in circumference and buried 320 feet under ground and was shut down because a bird lost his baguette.
I think this thing find Murphy's Law particles.

Sure As I'm Sittin' Here
Today was another panic ridden day. One near disaster after another.
I have reached a decision. One of the things that is driving me to depression is how dark the house is. I think I will find some rope lights and wrap them around the door frame in the kitchen. Some nice cool blue light in the kitchen in stead of the darkness that now lives there.

Brush Your Self Off
Wow. I really fell down there. This post a day stuff is harder than you would think.
OK here what has been going on. I have been working on trying to get my dad set up so he could live out the rest of his days without worries.
Or maybe I been trying to set it up so he could live out the rest of his days with out my worrying about him. I do not know which.
In any case after a very long week and scary week last week I feel better about things. I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel but I know there is an en to it.

Flash Back
I spent part of today thinking about the last show I did when I was doing TV production.
It was a music video show case with a religious flavor. The host who I am still great friends with would sit on a stool with a blinding light less than a yard away burn white hot strait into his eyes. Every light in the studio was on and most of them where aimed at the wall behind him. We would "chroma key" him into a back ground composed of a painting I did on a computer.
The switcher would remove the blue wall he was sitting in front of and by a bit of electronic wizardry replace the wall with what ever I choose. I was occasionally tempted to place him in front of on coming traffic, in deep space, or underwater with a shark swimming strait at him. He would not know until he saw the finished shot. But my self control won out.
So there he would sit there being blinded by a light, discussing the importance of a belief in God and in yourself. I wounder how about a belief in some good sunglasses.
The last show was melodically. Not only was this our final show together, and we knew it, weather or not we discussed it. But this was the final show for the studio. The nextday they would knock down walls and place in a bank of telephone lines.
After the shot we eited the show together. We talked about all the memories we had of the studio and the people who worked there. Once done we turneed the finished product in and cleaned up the studio. Everything went as usal untill I had to turn the lights off. I stood there for a few seconds looking at all the old and outdated equipmnet. It may have been old but we could do some damn impressive things with it.
I miss that clunky old studio.
More over I miss the people.
Some sadly have died. Some have drifted off in time, other I still talk to, one has become the closet thing I have to a brother and another is now a grand friend.
We did some amazing things in that old studio.

Today
I am going to be brave and force myself to the local grocery store. I feel like hell but am out of food and drinks and it will be very cold the rest of the week.
Wish me luck.

A Creature Of The Night
I am a creature of the night. I like the night. It is cooler and quieter. There is no one calling you trying to sell you some useless item you neither need or want. There in no one pounding on your door wanting your opinion on one topic or the other. There are no trucks trundling down your street rattling your windows.
Unfortunately the night dose not last. The daylight lovers will soon show theme selves. They wait behind the sun drumming their fingers on their desktops. Impatiently demand that you pay them. Demanding your fear, your sweat, and your tears.

New Year 2
Had a quiet day of the new year. I watched the new episode of Doctor Who in which they have said good bye to the old Doctor and we met the new actor who will play the doctor.
Other than that things where very quiet here.

New Years Daze
Today was the first day of the new year. It has been nice and cold and I felt pretty good.
I been working slowly on my office throwing out tons of old paperwork I no longer need. I hope by the end of the week to have the room sorted out so its easier to use and more organized.
I have the week end off but have tons of things for next week. I have to take the cable box and modem back to the cable company. That means standing in line. I hate that. By the time I'll be done with that I'll be so tired I won't have any energy left.
I also want to see if I can find any free transportation for the disabled. Cab fare is killing me fiscally.
So far the new year is going well. I hope by the end of the week I have all this paper work sorted out it seems to be taking forever.
