Hump Day Thoughts

• I am suppose to be at work right now, shift change to the night shift, however, due to my administrative assignment, I wont hit the streets until after June 1st. This is the first night shift my TEAM will work without me :(
• I don't mind the night shift, however, I do prefer days.
• It been over fifteen years since I have worked 12-hour shifts on nights.
• The administrative gig is chugging along...getting close to the end finally. When we receive the award due to the outcome, I'll be sure to let you know.
• It now feels like Texas weather...80 degrees, no breeze and the humidity about 100% yuk
• I always (allways) forget, which way to spell always(allways). I have to put them both side by side to figure it out...always (allways)
• And it is "always" by the way.
• Bob's surgery went well and he is recuperating just fine.
• I am ready to go camping, big time.
• The Dallas Cowboys "bubble" practice building is built just like the WinStar Casino building. I have been to WinStar during a pretty big storm and saw the lights swinging, I wondered then how safe it was.
• Went and saw the "Soloist" with Robert Downy Jr. and Jamie Fox...great movie -- edit...fantastic movie.
• My grass is growing about 2 inches a day...I mowed last night and it looks like I'll be mowing again very very soon.
• The Swing Flu scare was such a big time waste...much to do about nothing, it really got under my skin though...sometimes I can't stand the media and all its sensationalism.
• I was interviewed one time by Grant Stinchfield from channel 5 news after a disabled man, trapped in his wheelchair burnt to death after his van caught on fire...he ask me if it was a gruesome scene...I had him turn the camera off and I asked him, "What do you think?" I told him not to ask anymore stupid questions...we turned the camera back on and no more stupid questions where asked..."was it gruesome"...what the hell do you think???
• Speaking of gruesome, I am sure am glad I've got a break from working fatality accidents since I changed jobs.
• My wife is in Alaska helping her mom take care of Bob, I miss her.
• I'm going to eat at Panchos tomorrow evening, I likes me some Panchos.
• And as they say in Mayberry...My best to you and yours"

Stay blessed...because it is wonderful.

Hump Day Thoughts Baby!!!!!!

• I really believe that Wednesdays are the best day of the week.
• I think rupturing my Patellar tendon would suck.
• A week of cloudy days drains me down...bring on some sunshine.
• Cerissa Desiree Arrington is a cool name.
• I think Mike may win the Biggest Loser.
• My wife's violin (fiddle) playing is like hearing Angels sing...
• She plays this cool little ditty called "Mississippi Hotdog" ...video to come shortly.
• I got a facebook page, look me up and we can become friends.
• Swine Flu....oh my God...Swine Flu...enough already with the Swine Flu.
• Mark Levin...I likes, I likes, I likes.
• It is now officially mowing season...man, the grass is growing a foot a week.
• American Idol Adam Lambert is a time waste.
• My favorite Ipod game is called Chopper....I got up over 5000 points.
• Had a great weekend with my in-laws from Alaska, except for the above mentioned "Patellar" issue.
• I've got the best picture in the world of my mother-in-law...wanna see??????
• I got a new American flag on the pole, the old one tore up due to all the wind we have had.
• Project a work is going good, just really wanting to get through with it, very tedious.
• I prefer watch TV from the DVR so I can fast forward through all the stupid commercials.
• radiolovers.com is a great web site if you like downloading old radio show classics. My favorite are the old time crime shows.
• I honestly believe I have learned more in the past 7-months at my new job about "true policing" than I have both experienced and have been taught in the past 6 years.
• Blessed = Smile = I have a smile on my face most of the time.

The Return of "Hump Day Thoughts"

• I sorta wanted to go to a Tea Party today, but I really don't like tea that much...bring on the Dr. Pepper parties, I'm all over it.
• Christine and I did not have to pay taxes this year, I'm so glad about that.
• In 1909, we worked until mid January to pay our yearly taxes, now mid April.
• I listen to a local Fox affiliate station in the mornings on the way to work KLIF, the local talk show guy, Jeff Bolten is in Iraq this week talking with our troops...good radio...bit time good radio.
• I read (book on tape) "Escape" last week...about the FLDS sect and how a lady and her 8 kids got out of it after 30 years...amazing story.
• What do Prince, Oprah and Christine all have in common?....they all love the color "purple".
• Shift Change + May + Midnight Shift + TEAM members staying together = Good times
• I love Root Beer floats.
• Went to the gun range yesterday for training, more good times...except for the sunburn.
• Effective yesterday...my wife is now an official Highland Village Police Auxiliary Member...I am so proud of her. She has completed all her training and can go out and volunteer whenever she feels like it now.
• My day shift "Administrative Assignment" is coming to a close, I now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
• I had Couscous for the first time last week...liked it, I really liked it.
• When I lay down at night to go to sleep, I'm out in about 5-10 minutes and I sleep all night.
• A little over six months ago, I did good to get 2 hours of sleep a night and not all at the same time.
• I like podcasting.
• That's about it for this week, till next time.

Stay blessed, cause I am.

• I got a new assignment at work, I'll be off the street for a little while doing some "administrative work".
• It is hard not to get addicted to Facebook.

• Work is still going absolutely fantastic...I could not have made a better decision.
• There are some folks at work that read this blog...they tell me about it...I get sorta paranoid cause I didn't know how they knew things about me until they told me about the blog.
• I'm a little upset about American Idol's "Megan Joy" getting kicked off last week, I liked her tattoo, but when she danced I would almost throw up.
• The new Osborne show on Fox is terrible.
• I will try to post more later and give some updates about this and that, until then...have a great one.
