In the Wee Small hours of the morning

I don't want anyone to get worried about my father.  I mean, obviously it  IS a concern that he has chest pains, and IT IS a concern that he is in hospital.  However I have spoken to him, and he is alert, and fine.  He is having some sort of cardiogram thingy tomorrow, more news then.  He has been in that hospital soo many times this past year ( it's called Holmes Regional Medical Center) that they should rename it the Elliott Sincoff Hospital. At least name a floor after the guy.  So don't worry.  As they used to say on The Great Space Coaster when we were kids: "No news is good g'news w/ Gary Gnu". (we all know what happened to him, right? Um, no)

Just a few more comments before I go off to bed.  Caught the Democratic Convention tonight. Isn't it a shame that Bill Clinton can't run again? He gave SUCH a phenominal speech .  I mean I'm voting for Kerry... gotta do that..  But it was an amazing speech. So, good on ya Bill!  When I went to bed, it was pitch black, and I was trying to fall asleep (I have been having problems sleeping lately) when our black cat, Emma (as featured previously on this blog) decided to walk onto my chest and lay down.

Now, this would have been fine if she were an ordinary tabby, or brightly colored feline.. However she is proverbially black as space/night/what have you. So for a brief startling moment, I was almost insane.

Then I thought, nah, it's just Emma, my loveable black cat. So there you go.  A 33 yr old married man (unemployed mind you) sitting here in his boxer shorts, typing to an audience of me, talking about my cat Emma.

Christ.

 

Delicious Iced Coffee

Is what I'm enjoying  right now.  At certain periods in my life, I was more of a shall we say, "A coffee traditionalist".  That is, one who always drinks his/her coffee hot (even on the hottest of summer days) .  Also, a coffee traditionalist, NEVER drinks flavored coffee, always good ol' java original!

Whether I'm caving in to pressure, or whatever the reason is; I now enjoy iced coffee, in particular from Dunkin' Donuts. I've never considered a life of crime (well I have really, but only if I could be  a well dressed "nice" Jewish gangster from the 1930's, who did not end up shot, or being sent to the electric chair), but if someone  offered me a life time  supply of Dunkin' Donuts iced cafe latte's w/ skim milk... I'd rob any bank in the world for that payoff..

Gotta find a job soon,  glad I'm keeping busy today though. All this waiting to hear about jobs sucks.  And now I have heard the bad news that my dad is back in the hospital w/ chest pains.  He seemed fine, because I heard his voice yell to the nurse to tell me he was ok, when I rang the emergency room. Urgh.

 

The blog person himself, caught in a moment of reflection 

"It's too late to put on pants"

Said my lovely wife Vicki to me right now.   I jokingly said she should go out and get triple A batteries for the remote control for our bedroom tv.  That was the smart and sassy assed comeback that she sent my way.  Sigh.  What can you do? Women, can't live w/ them, can't dismember them ! LOL ROTF LMAO!!!!!

Not alot went on today. We vegged, and totally enjoyed doing that.  Ah it's an exciting Monday tomorrow.   Jesus, I gotta find a job soon.  Even if it's a job I hate (which I probably will hate it) at least I wont be home by myself at 2pm singing Def Leppard songs to the dogs/cats in the house.  There really is not alot of things to do during the week during the day. It's seems ALL tv is geared towards unemployed ill educated  folk--- but that's a story for another time. 

I'm not saying I'm depressed--I'm just saying that something better happen SOON!

 

Cooking Burgers for the Democratic Party

Well, it was a very successful cookout/bbq type thing.  In the end, we had about 18 people at the event, most of them strangers.  They were all fairly cool  people, although this middle aged woman who was there positively REEKED of cigarette smoke like it was proverbially going out of style. (note to self, did I smell like that when I was a smoker??)

Burgers, hotdogs, and various side dishes were had by all.  Everyone tried to talk about politics  while Kirk and I made w/ the jokes in the corner of the backyard, and drank plenty o'Heineken Keg cans. 

We raised over $500 for John Kerry/John Edwards campaign which is very good, thank u very much.

Well time to leave.  Arturo Gatti won by 2nd round KO over Leonard Dorin, btw.  Great body punch.. it's like money in the bank!
