Not having a great week. It started out well enough with a Ravens win on Sunday, but went down hill from there. Monday, I had to set up the general manger with his new Blackberry. That wouldn’t be so bad but I have no idea how they work, we don’t use them. The division he is going to, however, does. I got on the phone with their IS manager and she walked me through it, which left me with the impression that she did not know how they work either. She had update the template his mail file in Lotus Notes (for no apparent reason) as part of the process. This in turn hosed up his mail, till I got it straight again. I do not like it when things like that happen to computer of the GM. Nope. Not liking it at all.

Monday night of course I blew up the blog.

Tuesday, I got a call from the principal of my son’s school. Not good. No need to get into gory details, but the principal doesn’t call to tell you how great your kid is doing.

Now, its Wednesday and it appear the BoSox are gonna sweep the Cards. OK that’s not really that bad, but it sure takes the wind right out of my Curse ranting. That’s just great. What am I supposed to believe in now? Some cockeyed goat curse in Chicago, no thanks.

Do not fear. Things are looking up. My boss goes on vacation starting Friday, so that’s practically a vacation for me. I’m planning another hiking trip. Hopefully we’ll get that in, in about two weeks. And Halloween is coming. I really dig Halloween. First of all my first date with wife was a Halloween party. Secondly I love how excited the kids get about Halloween. But the best part is that we live in a neighborhood with about a million kids (just a rough estimate, accurate to +- 999,700.) It is incredible to see all of the little monsters and whatnot out there running around. Last year we had 8 bags of candy and we ran out. This year we have 11 but I bet we run out again.

Look at that, I think I just cheered myself up. I knew this blogging thing was good for me.
