The trip is really happening, let the planning begin!

Well it looks like I really am going out East this summer. Here's the basic dates.

Leave .... Thursday, August 17, 2007 at about 4a.m.
Arriving ...Tuesday, August 28, 2007 after lunch.

Now I would have loved to have planned a trip that included Newfoundland, but I simply couldn't justify the cost of the ferry ride there and back(around $250). So it looks like I'll hit New Brunswick for a night and 2 days, Nova Scotia and PEI for about the same, and Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula for a couple of days before heading to Quebec City to check out the old part, and finally home after that.

I do fear that I'll enjoy the lifestyle so much that I won't want to come home, but I may also get home sick ..... Ha ha .........No probably not!

Now do I commemorate my trip with a Tattoo?? That, is the next decision!

We've got a deck

In a rather surprising, but good, turn of events, we went from dead grass in the backyard to an almost fully operational deck. Not badly built either, we had 5-6 people on it this past weekend and it didn't move a bit. One problem with hiring a handy man, they know lots about lots of things, but not everything. The one mistake he made when building the deck was spacing the deck boards .... he used a cigarette pack .... Yep, the spaces are about 1cm wide. Now I'd like to think that I would have noticed this when it was happening, but the problem was that I was sleeping when he out the deck boards on.

Any idea on how to correct this without taking everything off??

Picture to follow ... of both the good and the bad!

WOW, just WOW!

HA HA HA HA sniffle HA HA HA shrug!

Seriously,Between friends, employees, co-workers, and family, not one group has come forward and explained to Lindsay Lohan the route that she is headed, and I wonder why?

If you had a friend that was skipping work, getting high all the time, and driving under the influence wouldn't you tell them how it is, and hope that they have time to straighten it out??

I had a buddy that we tried to help, and as a last resort(and because we couldn't be there when he killed himself) his friends were forced to walk away. Ultimately his family(largely his Father) were able to get through to him when his friends weren't, and that's when he finally got help. He's been clean and sober for 7+ years now .... he now counsels and helps less fortunate people .....I'm proud of him!

So then why can't somebody in her group drag her ass out of Hollywood? Where is the infamous "wannabe" star Mother Dina? I know Lindsay went to rehab a few times, and the last seemed pretty heartfelt, she even stayed in an extra 30 days. The only problem was that she was in another Hollywood rehab and not a real rehab. How many rehabs let you bring your Blackberry, call friends, have gourmet meals and 1000 count bed sheets?? It's like going to a country club when you should be going to San Quentin.

I'm still hoping, but supposedly she sent an email to an entertainment show talking about her innocence. Sure Lindsay, your driving somebodies Yukon, under the influence, with cocaine in your pocket ....."it's not mine I swear ..... Uh huh!

I think some jail time makes sense, but she's already done so much damage that it's hard to see her being a hot commodity any time soon .....Shit, she has a new movie coming out Friday, and she was supposed to be on Leno the same day she got arrested! Wouldn't you just stay home to prepare for your first interview in 2 months?

Anyways!

P.s. Britney is getting ready to quack like a duck! Britney set up and interview with OK magazine, but she showed and was such a mess that OK cancelled the interview part way through .... What OK is doing instead is an account of all the strange goings on during the interview ..... should be a good read.

P.P.s. Looks like Kevin "waste of skin" Federline is the better parent ....OH MY!
