A Pause Near Summer's End...

- I am currently on another week's vacation from work....I really don't care for the word 'staycation' so please don't use that within a mile of my current location, mmmmmkay?  Thanks!

- Plans for the week include relaxing, relaxing, and more relaxing.  Beyond that, I'll do the usual bike ride(s) hike(s), long doggie walks, etc... I'd planned to get estimates for some exterior work on the house this week, but that has been put off indefinitely.  A general contractor friend of mine from church was the first to stop by and check out the house yesterday and he discovered some underlying structural defects with the garage and porch framing.  They will need to be fixed before anything else is done.  I'd planned to shop for a new car later this year, maybe not now!

- Speaking of cars, I've got over 130, 000 miles logged on my trusty 2003 Mazda 6 sedan.  Still going relatively strong, it's showing signs of age but still soldiers on.  I'm trying out a new garage for an oil change on Friday.  My friend Stephanie says they do good work.

- Chili-dog passed her annual vet check-up with flying colors at the end of July.  The attending veterinarian remarked that I "obviously take excellent care of her."  Thanks!

- Am taking in another Cardinals game on my season-ticket plan tonight, this time with my dear ol' dad.  I have two more left after tonight.  I've gone to more games than ever before this season and have enjoyed all of them!

- There's been a really positive change happening in my life lately.  Can't talk about it in detail just yet but if you really wanna know, just contact me via the e-mail or other discreet methods.

- Raise your hand if you care that Brett Favre is now coming back to the NFL.  Okay, that's none of you, thanks!
