Such Is Life

...in friendly Stayner

 

It's 6:20 am and I am just having a glass of iced tea before we go on our journey.  The guys are in the kitchen having a bowl of cereal and talking about all the crime and guns in Toronto.  John says the fuckers don't know how to shoot.  The song, 'I need a lover that won't drive me crazy' by John Mellencamp is playing on the dish and it's still dark outside.  It's very exciting to take a trip to a place I have never been.  See you all when I get back.  XOX

travel, summer

LEAVING...

Yes, we are ready to go!  Yipee!  Tomorrow morning, bright and early...  We are going far, far away and won't be back for 3 whole weeks!  Chicken is in a duffle bag with my scuba gear and he is at the door waiting!  Chirpy little bastard. 

Twenty-three hours drive and we will be in a different part of the world.  Black bears, loons, loads of walleye, and peaceful isolation.  Mmmmm....  If the bears are real hungry, there is always Chicken. 

For all my friends:  I will not have a computer.  Please do not load my email will forwarded junk mail or huge files.  I will have access to a computer on September 3rd, and a nice email or two is welcomed.  

Blog world:  So long...  I will be back soon.  XOX

(P.S. For those of you who don't know, Chicken belongs to my sister.  Shelly, don't have a heart attack.  I won't really feed him to the bears.  You can have him back when you arrive up there in 2 weeks).

SMOOTH SAILING FROM HERE ON.....

No more fighting the high seas of the cold, North Atlantic for a while...  No more chasing dolphins and collecting glacier ice for holiday cocktails.  Today, Captain Michael O'Brien makes his way from the dock, to take a relaxing drive in his Land Rover.  Only 60 years young and full of energy, he will start this journey with adventure and spirit.  Congratulations, dad!  May there be many happy tomorrows in your future.  XOX BIG KISS ~ WE LOVE YOU XOX 

P.S. Did you buy your yacht yet?

 HUNG

'Somebody' kept me up all night and I'm NOT happy about it.  Bok Bok Bok making my ears bleed and I never even said he could have permission to stay over.  He shreaked for just a little bit, while I was sending him on his way across the clothes line.  Don't worry though...  He didn't fight for too long.  

It's going to be another hot one today.  Perhaps we will have fried chicken tonight for dinner.
