Movin' Right Along

Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends, you can't lose,
This could become a habit.
Opportunity knocked once, let's reach out and grab it,
Together we'll nab it.
We'll hitch-hike, bus, or yellow cab it.

Movin' right along, foot-loose and fancy free.
Gettin' there is half the fun; come share it with me.
Movin' right along (doog-a-doon, doog-a-doon)
We'll learn to share the load.
We don't need a map to keep this show on the road.


Movin' right along we found a life on the highway,
And your way is my way, so trust my navigation.
California here we come, that pie-in-the-sky land.
Palm trees and warm sand, though sadly we just left Rhode Island.

Movin' right along, hey, L.A., where've you gone?
Send someone to fetch us, we're in Saskatchewan.
Movin' right along (doog-a-doon, doog-a-doon)
You take it, you know best.
Hey, I've never seen the sun come up in the West.

Movin' right along, we're truly birds of a feather,
We're in this together, and you know where you're goin'.
Movie stars with flashy cars and life with the top down.
We're stormin' the big town.
Yeah! Storm is right, should it be snowin'?

Movin' right along, do I see signs of men?
Yeah, "welcome" on the same post that says "come back again."
Movin' right along, foot-loose and fancy free.
You're ready for the big time, is it ready for me?

Movin' right along
Movin' right along

100 Days...

In a mere 100 days, I will be getting married to the most beautiful, intelligent, funny, and wonderful woman I have ever met.

I love you Barb.

The hardest thing I have ever experienced is being so far away when I am needed.

The Good with the Bad

I went downtown Traverse City to hit up the Barber Shop today, but I ran into some problems:

Being upset about the whole situation I went to Borders to kill some time:

Nothing to get overly upset about, but kind of annoying nonetheless.

As I was leaving Borders I saw a couple of older women playing a game on a table outside. This got my attention so I snuck a quick glance. It was Skip-Bo and they were really into it.

That kinda made my day. It is nice to see people in all walks, and times of life take time to relax and enjoy each other's company while playing a card game (or board game).

Though this still doesn't get me a hair cut.

My new sandwich.

1 Loaf French Bread cut into thirds on the bias.
Cut each third in half, giving two slices.
Remove the 'meat' of one half of the slices of bread.

In this channel, add these 3 meats.
1 serving Turkey (Smoked, or Honey Roasted. Dealer's Choice).
1 serving Ham (Smoked, or Honey)
1 serving Roast Beef

on the still intact half, spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of Italian Dressing.
Cover dressing with 1 slice Provolone cheese, cut in half.

Inspired by Alton Brown and Jersey Giant

Just got back from another great weekend at Barb's.

Things I have learned:
1. Don't scare the hiccups out of Barb!
2. Always remember a hat and sunscreen.
3. Never leave after 5 on the Friday before July 4th.
4. Blokus + Boat = Nausea!
5. Always remember the Colby Jack.
6. Don't refer to Anne as 'Kiddo', even affectionately.
7. Khaki shorts > Jeans > Jean Shorts.
8. 90% people forget how to drive around July 4th.
