Mine was good. Brian and I exchanged gifts around noon right after he got up. He's on vacation, so finally got to sleep in. I got him a few things for his new truck and some money to buy a backup camera for it. He's never driven any kind of truck before and backing up makes him nervous, because he can't see that well like he could in his car.
Brian gave me a an American Express gift card, because I have everything I need, so I am next to impossible to buy gifts for. For birthdays he usually give me scratch off lottery tickets for the same reason. He gave me two LARGE bottles of gin, which is always a welcome gift. Then a gift of a toaster oven with a rotisserie and a small chest freezer. My refrigerator is a smaller one, about 3/4 the size of a regular one. The about 1/4 of that is taken up by the ice makers, which leaves a limited amount of space for frozen food. It's always packed to the max after I go shopping, so the new freezer will come in very handy. Now I just have to figure out where to put them.
Both Brian and I went over to Lori's for dinner later. Last week Lori invited him over for Christmas dinner, which he immediately accepted. This was his second time over there, the first being Thanksgiving. All three of Lori's kids were there, so it was nice to have both our families together.
After dinner we exchanged gifts. Brian gave Lori an American Express gift card, because neither of us had any idea what he could get her. Lori gave him a stocking stuffed with more things for his car, candy and a scratch off lottery ticket. I gave Lori's kids a VISA gift card like I always do. The kids gave me gin & tonic, some sweats, a hand held video game, some nuts and a couple other small gifts.
When I asked Lori what she wanted for Christmas, she told me nothing because I'd told her that since I'd already gotten her so much already, and got her car fixed a couple of times, that the those were to be considered her Christmas presents. The last being a leather jacket about a month ago. I have been rather generous all year long, so that wasn't a stretch.
Now that just wouldn't be right, now would it?
So I wrapped up two boxes of toilet paper and box of paper towels. It's an inside joke with her and her kids, because they are always running out the stuff. It got a big laugh from them, but my son was stumped why I'd give her that. I had to explain why and I think he thought I was nuts.
You didn't actually think that's all I'd give her, did you?
Nope, I gave her a replica of the legs lamp in the movie "A Christmas Story". That's the movie where Ralphie wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. That was a big hit with them all. They all love that movie and watch all 24-hours of it from 8:00pm on Christmas Eve until the last show goes off at 8:00pm on Christmas Day.
Nope, that wasn't all. I'm not that cheap.
Last I gave Lori a couple of VISA gifts cards, so she could buy some things for herself. I know there are some things she needs, but she'd have to get them herself, so money it was.
We sat around chatting for a bit, them Brian left to see some friends. I stuck around a while longer then headed home so Lori could get ready for her trip up to Rhode Island today to visit her family. That means I'll be all alone again this weekend. :-(
Anyone want to come over and help me rearrange my kitchen and figure out where the hell I'm going to put the toaster oven and freezer? I have PLENTY of gin & tonic for you.
My little corner of the internet here is the place where I post things that are on my mind.

Wish #1 is for all the people that have lost their job due to the shitty economy. I wish a 0% unemployment rate. That way they are all assured jobs and good jobs at that.
Wish #2 is for all the people that are having a hard time paying their mortgage payments. I wish that I could pay off their mortgage, so they never have to worry about having a roof over their head ever again. If I could kick in for the annual property taxes would be great too.
Wish #3 is for people that are having a hard time financially. I wish that they all could hit the lotto big time! Hopefully they hit the Mega Million lottery all by themselves. That leaves the big payoff to each person.
I know we're not supposed to have more than three wishes, but the hell with the rules!!
Wish #4 is for everyone! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a happy any other holiday you may be celebrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY HNT!

Las Vegas Pictures - Part 1
Saturday, December 6th, Lori and I flew to Las Vegas for a weeks vacation. We flew from Long Island to Baltimore and then non stop to Las Vegas. The room was nice, but I liked the one at the Hilton last year better.
The view was better too. The view last year we had a view of part of the Strip. This year it's of a 50 story condo under construction across the street at Plant Hollywood.
We made arrangements to go to dinner with Tara Tainton and her brother and to meet in our room about 6:00. We had a couple of drinks and Tara gave Lori and I a gift and what a gift it was. One of her own personal naughty videos specially autographed. Lori brought three others of Tara's dvds along and Tara autographed them for us too.
We walked across the street to Planet Hollywood's "Miracle Mile Mall" for dinner. They have about 15 restaurants, so we figured that was as good a place as any to find something we all could agree on to eat. We walked around for awhile then settled on a Brazilian restaurant, Pampas Churrascaria. What a place! Great drinks, great food and great food. Did I mention the great food?
We all decided on the "Meat Special". No, they didn't call it that, but I am. It was an endless supply of various meats on skewers hand carved by numerous staff for as long as you could eat it. I've never eaten so much meat at one sitting in my entire life. It also came with a, uh, uh, salad bar? No, that would be an under statement. Of course there was salad, but there was so much more and too much to even list. We all loved the fried bananas.
The meat never stopped.
"Of course Tara, you can taste my." So I let her taste it.
That was HOT!
But the food isn't cheap in Las Vegas, but I figured it we were on vacation, so the price be damned. We ate and drank all hours of the day and night to abandon!!!!!
We all said good night and went our separate ways with plans to meet again later in the week.

Christmas Tree HNT
Os says we had to post a picture of ourselves with our Christmas tree this week. Since Lori and I spent last week in Las Vegas, "FUCKING LAS VEGAS BABY!!!!", I haven't put up a Christmas tree yet. You'll just have to accept the next best thing, me next to the Christmas tree in the Harley Davidson Cafe on the Strip.
For the half nekkid part, here's a shot Lori took of me in the shower at the hotel. Be warned, it's of my naked ass. Did you expect anything less from her?

Lori is up again this week, so make sure you stop by to see her tree.
Check out the previous few posts for a little bit about about our Vegas trip.
Then stop by Os' blog and say hi. Tell him I sent you!

I'M BACK!
It was fun while it lasted, our vacation in Las Vegas that is. Last November was our first trip there, but that was only for four days, so didn't get to do very much. This time we went for eight days and did A LOT more, we still didn't have enough time to see all that we wanted to see. Here's a brief (LMAO, brief?) run down of what we did this year.
Saturday
Flew in to Vegas, had dinner with Tara and her brother in Pampas Brazilian Grill, walked around the Miracle Mile mall in Planet Hollywood and bought more tonic (we had drinks before we went to dinner). Tara gave us one of her "adult" DVDs as a gift. :-)
Sunday
Lunch/breakfast (we are late sleepers) at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, toured numerous casinos including Caesar's Palace and Paris, dinner at Harley Davidson Restaurant. Walked a million miles that day.
Monday
Slept in, drove up and down the Strip, bought gin & tonic (drink a lot in Vegas, often and earlier than when home), toured the Sahara, had dinner there too.
Note: This place is certain to be closed very soon. There were only, maybe, six couples eating in the restaurant and very few people gambling.
Tuesday
THE HELICOPTER TRIP TO THE GRAND CANYON!!!! Need I say more? If you ever have a chance to take a helicopter trip there, DO IT! Spend your rent money on it if you have to, but DO IT!
We went to the Hawaiian Tropic Zone for lunch. Half naked waitresses in bikinis was worth the EXPENSIVE tab.
Saw the show FANTASY that night. Topless chicks dancing, need I say more?
Wednesday
Lunch at 'MORE" in the Luxor ( pastrami sandwiches and I drank Fat Tire ale), saw various naked boy parts on a wall, toured the aquarium with the walk through tunnel (very cool!)
On the way out, we stumbled upon a bar with Bert & Keith playing music and singing. We closed that place. They were really good, until they took a 1/2 hour break. A few minutes my ass! But we were entertained by the couple tyhat had a fight. He stormed out, threw his beer bottle again a store window and knocked over a sign. As Bert said, "Not to worry, he will be arressted". LOL My ass, he was seen later talking to the guy that tried to steal his chick.
Fell asleep at 4AM, 7AM my time.
Thursday
Slept late (we did that everyday except Tuesday), ate 7-11 egg sandwiches we bought the night before, toured New York, New York so Lori could take pictures of the Statue of Liberty replica they have (that statute seems to freek out Lori and her brother, so they torment each other with pictures of it at every opportunity), had lunch at some place in NEW York, New York I forget, headed over to MGM Grand to catch the lion exhibit and tour that place. We ate there but I forget where, but do know we ate, among other things, chicken wings.
Note: I case your wondering why I forgot a few details, I drank alot while in Vegas. I'm also ols (60) so that may explain it too.
We also went over to the Monte Carlo to look around. On our way out we heard some music and discovered the "Sin City Heat". They were two guitar players, a drummer and scantally clad hot babes. Do I have to say more? No fights this time, but we did close the place and didn't get to bed until 4am, 7am my time. :-)
Friday
We walked along the Strip for a bit then went to Paris for a ride to the top of their 1/2 size replica of the Eiffle Tower. Awesome view! Walked around somemore, then had dinner at the Harly Davidson Cafe again. Good food for a good price. Remember that if your in Vegas.
Then it was back to the room to pack. Took us and hour at least. Very depressing time packing to go home from vacation. But things were soon to pick up.
Tonight we met Tara and her brother at the Stratosphere and saw a show called "Bite". Topless vampire chicks. Need I say more. After the show they held a "meet-and-greet" with the stars. Vampire chicks in bras close up, need I say more? I bought the $38 package and got all the vampire chicks to sign things. The best comment was from the girl in the calender that had her picture taken with her in the shower. She signed it "Want to join me?" Then love something. I think she wanted me.
SHUT UP! She wanted me and leave it at that!
Saturday
Up at 8am and the flight back to COLD, ever so COLD New York. It was 25 fucking degrees when we landed. But I was a gentleman and let Lori wait in thge terminal while I got the car. I even had it warmed up by the time she got in it. Yes, I know, I'm the bestest boy friend ever.
Sunday
Lori made me breakfast in bed as a sort of thank you for taking her on her bestest week long vacation ever. Yes, I know, I'm the bestest boy friend ever. m Just ask Lori if you want proof.
That's enough for now, but pictures to follow. We took 1,004 pictures and have to show them to someone, so it might as well be you guys.

Aloha Las Vegas
It's been a fun week as jam packed as we could make it, but still haven't seen half the things we wanted to see. The last two night we stayed out late closing a couple of bars and didn't get to bed until 4 AM!!!!!
Tonight is our last night in Sin City and we are ending it on an up note by spending it with our good friend Tara Tainton and her brother. We are catching one last show, 'Bite' at the Stratosphere. A show full of topless vampire babes. Tara made a post about it if your interested.
Aloha Las Vegas! See you next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY LAS VEGAS HNT
We've eaten more than we should, drank a lot, toured the sights, had lots of sex and even gambled. Well, I gambled. My son asked me to bet $100 on black for him while were were here in Las Vegas. The other night we were walking through the casino at the Bellagio when I spotted the roulette table. I walked up to the table and told the woman working the table that I wanted to bet this, I tossed the $100 bill on the table. I want to bet it on black. Then explained why. She gave me one-one hundred dollar chip. The man standing there said that he couldn't resist also betting on black "for my son" too. Like it was going be a sure winner or something. He put $10 down next to my chip on the black square. She spun the wheel and around and around it went. The man kept putting down $5 chips down here and there with no pattern what so ever. The wheel finally stopped and low and behold, the ball landed on black! I had won! The man won too, but only with the bet on black. He told me to let it ride, but I knew better and just took my two $100 chips to the cashier and collected my $200. I also bought my son a $25 chip for a souvenir. That was the one and only bet I've made. I'm no fool. LOL
Last night we went to the Paris Hotel to get a drink in their souvenir glass. We had a choice of two glasses.

My Vacation Starts Tomorrow!
Okay, I know I'm always on vacation, but tomorrow Lori and I fly to Las Vegas. We are staying at a hotel right on the center of the Strip. It will be eight days and seven nights of debauchery and partying!!!! This time we are going to be checking out some of the shows with nudity. Last year we wanted to see a one with vampires, but it was too late to get decent seats.
I finally got my building permit today. The construction has to wait until early January. The project should take about three weeks. I want to be here when they start the work, so next week is out. They close for the Christmas & New year Holiday, to that brings us to early January.Hey, I waited this long so another month isn't important.
My son bought a pickup truck today. It's a 2006 Ford F150. His car was on it's way out and he wanted a truck to haul around his ATV, so now was a good time. He got a good deal, because it's a buyer's market right now. I looked around for loan rates for him and saw that my credit union had the best rates. Some banks aren't even loaning money for used cars. The car dealer couldn't even get him a better rate. His credit is good, he makes around $65k/year and has minimal bills, since he lives with me. I told him I wasn't cosigning this time, but that wasn't even necessary to ask. He got the money on his own merit.
That's about it for now. Have a great weekend y'all!

I might be on TV HNT
I have a My Space account. Today I received a comment from Diana Stonitsch, she has a TV show in Joliette Illinois. She was asking me to be on her TV show.
Greetings,
I really enjoyed reading your blogs. Perhaps you will come on my show sometime? I think my viewers would really like to hear some of your stories, especially the one about puff the magic dragon. I can really relate to that one.
Be Well,
Always,
-Diana
WTF! I'm as shocked as you are. Me on TV? You got to be shitting me!
Oh, by the way, the "Puff the Magic Dragon" story refers to the story I wrote about one night in Vietnam where we smoked pot, drank Sctoch & grape soda and were alerted to the certainy of being attacked by 10,000 NVA soldiers sometime that night. Since we were just a company of a few hundred or so, I was certain we would all die.
It's a not-so-long story, so I'd better start from the beginning. One of my My Space friends is Adrianne Curry, the wife of Christopher Knight. Christopher played Peter Brady on the Brady Bunch. Adirane is a Playboy cover model and a celebrity in her own right. I've been posting comments on Adrianne's My Space page pretty regularly. She a really cool, a down to earth girl and very interesting.
I made a comment on Adrianne's blog one day disputing several other commenter's posts about their lack of faith in God. I believe in God very strongly. He has helped my family and I through some very difficult times. There is also that out of body experience I had when I was wounded. I felt I owed it to Him to dispute the doubter's lack of faith, but from my perspective. I won't critisise those who lack faith, as it's their choice. I just wanted to explain some of the reasons why I believed in God. My comment touched a cord with several people, including Adriane's mother, so they replied. I've been exchanging messages and emails from all of them since that day.
I might really be on TV. How cool is that? I think it's even cooler that I've made new friends just because of a few words. :-)
Oh ya, it's HNT, so I guess I better post a picture. Since this was all brought about because of my tour in Vietnam, it's only appropriate that I post a picture from the old days. Here's a picture of my father Stoney, my stepmother Ruth and me in St. Albans Naval hospital in Queens, New York just a few days after my return from the hospital in Japan. I weighed a massive 112 lbs.

I Hate That!
Did you ever get a tickle in your nose that just won't go away no matter what you do? A tickle that bothers you so much you can't stand it! You try trimming your nose hairs, but that doesn't work. So you look real close in the mirror to see if you can spot the problem. Even pulling at your nostrils to get a good close look up your nose. But you still don't see anything. But you know there's something in there, because the tickling is driving you nuts!!!! You even get out the magnifying glass to get a closer look up your nose, but you still don't see anything. Then you resort to desperate measures, TWEEZERS!
OH MY FUCKING GAWD!!!!!!!!!
THAT HURTS LIKE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT HURTS LIKE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
DO TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!!!!!
DO TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!!!!!

How was your Thanksgiving?
Mine went very well. I've been going to Lori's for the last two Thanksgivings and my son had gone to his girl friends. She broke up with him earlier this year (he now admits it was the best thing that could have happened to him), so this year hadn't made plans. I asked him if he wanted to go to Lori's with me. I would have stayed home and cooked if he said no, but he said "Sure".
I cooked the mashed potatoes and gravy before I left. I made a Bisquick recipe using chicken broth, poultry seasoning, chicken bullion and salt & pepper. You just dump everything in the blender and cook it to thicken. At Lori's we poured in some of the turkey drippings to add even more flavor. So easy and much better tasting and much better for you that the jarred gravy.
I got over to Lori's about three and Brian came later. He had to work until 3:00. He's the produce manager and always chooses to work on major holidays, because he get time & a half. The turkey wasn't cooked yet, so having a later dinner than usual, was okay. Lori decided to wait until Brian could get there, since this was the first time he has agreed to go to her house. He arrived around 4:15 and was introduced to Lori's parents. Two of Lori's kids were there, Bethany and Adam, which he's already met and then there was the ferocious chihuahua Milo! He hates strangers and has been known to take a nip once in a while. He barked like mad at Brian, so they were going to lock him in a bedroom, but I convinced Lori to just put him down and see what happens. She and Milo made a beeline for Brian. He sniffed him a few times and then started wagging his tail like crazy and licked his hand. Then he wouldn't leave Brian alone.
Neither would Lori's parents. Lori's parent both told the same old stories to Brian. He sat there intently listening and carrying on conversations about the stories and and things about him. I really wasn't that surprised, surprised yes, but not that surprised. Because he's always gotten along well with old people and small kids. Then Lori rescued him so he could go play Guitar Hero with Beth and Adam in Adam's room.
About a half hour later everything was finished cooking. The 25 pound fresh killed turkey I bought turned out great. It was about the best turkey I've ever tasted. It really was worth the extra expense of buying it from a butcher. Lori cooked it and it cooked perfectly. The white meat and dark meat both were cooked thoroughly for once. You know how the dark meat in the thighs are under cooked when the white meat is done? Not this time. I have a digital temperature probe and we took it out of the oven when the temp hit 179 degrees. The only complaint was that the skin wasn't crisp enough, because we left the foil that covered the bird on too long. I don't eat the skin, so it didn't matter to me, but others do and like it almost burned. YUCK! Lori made all the other fixing: sweet potatoes, corn, green beans, a cranberry sauce recipe of whole and jellied cranberries, crushed pineapple & raspberry jello, rolls of course and for desert, five different pies. Everything turned out great, except for the aforementioned skin.
I wasn't sure how long Brian would stay once dinner and desert were finished, but he stayed much longer than I thought and stayed until I finally got tired and wanted to leave. When we got home, I asked him if he had a good time and if he like everyone. Happily he said answered in the affirmative to both questions. Looks like next summer when I have everyone over he will be willing to spend time with Lori's family and hang out with everyone in my back yard resort to be. If I ever get that fucking permit from the town.
I cooked the mashed potatoes and gravy before I left. I made a Bisquick recipe using chicken broth, poultry seasoning, chicken bullion and salt & pepper. You just dump everything in the blender and cook it to thicken. At Lori's we poured in some of the turkey drippings to add even more flavor. So easy and much better tasting and much better for you that the jarred gravy.
I got over to Lori's about three and Brian came later. He had to work until 3:00. He's the produce manager and always chooses to work on major holidays, because he get time & a half. The turkey wasn't cooked yet, so having a later dinner than usual, was okay. Lori decided to wait until Brian could get there, since this was the first time he has agreed to go to her house. He arrived around 4:15 and was introduced to Lori's parents. Two of Lori's kids were there, Bethany and Adam, which he's already met and then there was the ferocious chihuahua Milo! He hates strangers and has been known to take a nip once in a while. He barked like mad at Brian, so they were going to lock him in a bedroom, but I convinced Lori to just put him down and see what happens. She and Milo made a beeline for Brian. He sniffed him a few times and then started wagging his tail like crazy and licked his hand. Then he wouldn't leave Brian alone.

You know, the VA hospital hires hot babes!
I went back to the VA hospital again today to have a sonogram done of my aorta and carotid arteries. Not because they suspected anything was wrong, but just to make sure there wasn't. I get dizzy sometimes and the cardiologist at the VA hospital says that's normal considering the type of meds I'm taking to control my blood pressure. It seems that beta blockers have a way of letting your blood pressure drop when you get up fast. That's just the way it is.
But just to rule out any other issues, he wanted me to have the carotid arteries in my neck checked out. My regular VA doctor wanted my aorta checked since I was a smoker many years ago. I quit in 1978. She said that since I smoked, then there was always a chance that I could develop an aneurysm in my aorta. Now I just have to wait and see if, or what they find.
I almost forgot about the hot babe remark.
The babe that did the sonograms today was frigging HOT! I mean model HOT with tits that could poke an eye out. And an ass to die for. Her tits were natural too, with just the right amount of sag for a woman about 30.
Too bad she was a blonde, because I prefer brunettes. But I wouldn't kick her out of bed.
That is, unless Lori caught me. Then I'd invite Lori to join us or let her kick her out of bed.

Want to meet us in Las Vegas!
Next month Lori and I are going back to Las Vegas, but not for just the weekend like last year. This time it's for 8 days and 7 nights in a hotel right in the middle of the Strip. Anyone want to join us in the debauchery?

The following post is NSFW!
FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK AND DAMMIT!
Edit: I was so pissed off yesterday that I forgot HNT! Now I'm even more pissed off. Keep reading to find out why
My application for the permit to do my outdoor project was rejected by the town, because the MOTHER FUCKING, STUPID ASS builder screwed up the plan drawings.
Why do you ask?
BECAUSE THEY DON'T FUCKING LISTEN, DON'T FOLLOW THE CODE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE DONE IT A BAZILLION TIMES BEFORE AND HE HAS FUCKING IDIOTS WORKING FOR HIM!
Let me be more specific.
They left the railing on the retaining wall off of the drawing.
HELLO!!!!! IT'S A FUCKING 37 INCH HIGH RETAINING WALL AROUND THE POOL AND ANY FUCKING THING HIGHER THAN 18 INCHES HAS TO HAVE A RAILING TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM FALLING OFF THE FUCKING WALL!!!!!
I TOLD EVERY ONE OF YOU MOTHER FUCKERS THAT IT NEEDED A RAILING AND EVEN GAVE YOU THE PLANS AND CODE FROM THE TOWN.
I EVEN PICKED THE FUCKING RAILING OUT AND SHOWED THE OWNER WHICH ONE I WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T YOU FUCKING PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then there was the omission of the strength of the concrete they will be using for the retaining wall footing.
HELLO YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!!!! YOU FUCKING PEOPLE DESIGN AND BUILD FUCKING HOUSE AND KNOW YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE THE CONCRETE SPECS FOR THE FOOTING AND FOUNDATIONS. SO WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU DO THE SAME FUCKING THING THAT YOU'VE DONE A BAZILLION FUCKING TIMES BEFORE??????
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then last but not least, the engineering license for the guy that signed off the drawings had expired. I guess I can't really blame that one on them. The guy drew the drawing in July and then died. His license was revoked because he died.
I guess you can tell that I'M STILL FUCKING PISSED!
FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK AND DAMMIT!
To help calm me down, I am going out for dinner up to Popei's. That's the place I went for my birthday party. Liz the bartender is working tonight and there's nothing like a hot, sexy babe with nice tits to calm a guy down. That, and a visit from Lori, but she can't come out tonight. So I guess I'll just have to go and ogle Liz by myself.
Gee, I feel better already just thinking about it.

To Cut, or Not To Cut? That is the Question.
I had a follow up visit at the VA hospital today so they could evaluate the progress of my carpel tunnel syndrome. There is a slight improvement since I last saw them in July, but not enough. Therefore the cute, young, hot, sexy, brunette doctor with a great body referred me to orthopedics to see if I am a candidate for carpel tunnel surgery, probably just on my right hand, since that is the one that bothers me the most.
I wonder if the surgery is done with a local anesthetic, so I can watch. That would be cool and I could take lots of great pictures for my blog.
The surgery doesn't scare me at all. It's the recover that bothers the hell out of me. That's my masturbation hand. I suck at masturbating with my left hand. I guess Lori will just have to come over everyday and take care of that for me.

How I got my free 42" Plasma TV!
In 1979 I got my American Express card and not too long after that I joined their Membership Rewards Program. It's like many similar programs. You spend $1 and you get one point. As of last count, I had 160,500 points, which was 3,000 points shy of being able to get the 42" Panasonic plasma television. But I was in luck! American Express was willing to front me the extra points I needed. The only catch was that I had to agree to charge 3,000 in the next year. I knew I'd charge well over that amount, so I ordered the TV.
I couldn't be more pleased with the TV. The picture is so clear and sharp, even when your not watching the HD channels. I was a little concerned about that, because this model is 720 dpi vs the newer 1080 dpi. My research showed that spending more than twice the price for the higher resolution ($700 vs $1500), really wasn't necessary until the TV is closer to 50" and larger.

Birthday Week Recap HNT
I want to start off this post by thanking the hot, sexy, naughty and very generous ladies that gave me HNT birthday presents of pictures and posts. They all exceeded my expectations. Even if some of them didn't post naughty pictures, their birthday wishes were still very special to me.
One person in particular person emailed me pictures that went WAY beyond my expectations. Thank you babe and I'm sure you know who you are.
I also want to thank Os for plugging my HNT birthday request. No way would I have had as good a response if it wasn't for him.
I also want to thank the very special lady in my life, my little sex kitten Lori. She posted a very sexy picture of her boobs and spent every night last week at my place, except for Thursday. I wanted it to be a week filled with lots of naughty snuggling, but I'm sad to say, I was sick most of it.
Other than the HNT posts, the highlight of the week was Saturday night. First Lori and I went out to dinner at Ruby Tuesday and then went to Popei's for a small party.
When we arrived I surprised the decorations Lori had given to Liz, the very best bartender ever, so she could decorate for my party.
Popei's even offered drink specials in my honor. How cool is that?
I even got presents.
I had a great time. Thanks baby for making it so special! Here are some of the pictures Lori took that night.
=
WHAT A GREAT NIGHT!
Sunday we slept until who knows when and then Lori cooked me a special breakfast and even served it to me in bed. She made German pancakes from scratch with two different flavors of jelly. It was delicious!
For those of you that missed last weeks HNT theme, it's not too late to participate. I'm still accepting pictures.
PSS
I know that was bad, but that's why you love me so much. ;-)
