Happy Easter!

Happy Easter y'all! (pronounced with the Paula Dean accent) I hope every one had a nice Easter Sunday. Katie and I just got back from the ranch down in Mason. We had a great weekend with Paul and Judy and our friends in Mason. I made my first pilgramage to church this year, First Methodist Church of Mason, interesting service....

Katie was in charge of the appetizers for today's Easter dinner, she made some salmon dish and then this cheese metorite/bowling ball/Easter bunny! I swear this was the biggest cheese ball I have ever seen in my life, it was heavy and wierd looking, hard to describe. I think a little disappointed with the appearance, Kate went immediately into elementary teacher mode and started making a bunny out of the cheese ball! I think it turned out pretty cool and had to post a pic.

On a separate note, today Cody much like Jesus rose from....well, we're not sure where! Cody cat was missing since Thursday night when Katie let him out of the house. He was missing till the wee hours of this morning when Judy was thinking and praying about Cody, low and behold he started meowing at their bedroom door outside! Cody cat is back in the hizzy and Judy is a MUCH happier person because of it!

Best Easter wishes from our house to yours!

War "PB Specials" and the two cold beers I left in the mini-fridge!

Late.

Spring Break.....

You know, I was thinking. Spring break just isn't what it used to be. What the hell is spring break and why the hell is there a spring break? I mean seriously, probably 95+% of all Americans do not get any sort of spring break, so why have it? I know one thing, spring break doesn't mean a damn thing to me! Heck even when I was in college I didn't get a spring break, I went home and worked my ass off packing and moving people's shit so I would have enough beer money to drink on till the semester was over. What the hell, I think I still do this! Who can relate? Can I get a "Hell yeah!"

My apologies, I digress.

Has anyone figured out how the Israelites shaved themselves thousands of years before any sort of razor was invented? Not I, feel free to discuss.

Fortunately Kate and I are back to 100% and healthy again. I had a month from the beginning of February to the middle of March where I felt like total crap. First it was the congestion and cough, which took like 5 weeks to get over the cough. Then last week I got the stomach flu. That was the worst stomach flu I think I have ever had. I have never thrown up like that in my life, miserable. I could have shit through a screen door from 20ft! Cranking on all 8 cylinders now, thank GOD!

Headed to the Texas Hill Country down to the ranch this weekend with Kate and the pups for a well needed rest and break from the real world. We both feel so relaxed and away from the junk of the real world when we are down at the ranch, alone and with just hanging out with each other. If you have been there, I think you'll know what I mean. Easter with the Branch and Brannies family is going to great, really looking forward to it.

I seriously think the Cubs are going to KICK ASS this year. The core of the team is back and with the addition of the left handed bat in the lineup with this Japanese dude named Fukedome, it is really going to be tough to pitch around Lee and Ramirez. I think Wood will win the closer role and the bullpen is going to be SOLID with Marmol. Marmol is a freaking animal. I hope he didn't pitch too much in the Dominican in the winter league. Cubs in the Series this year, will they win it all? Who knows.....

OK enough rambling. Happy spring break, war Cubbies 2008....

Drink a beer, I'm out...
