So what went well for you this week ?

Absolutely nothing. I'm up shit creek and I forgot to bring paddles.

Well. That's not true. I merely put off ordering them. And the canoe.

I guess I'm more succintly neck deep in shit creek.

I am: The Cricket.

Yep, I'm not seeing a lot of positives this week.  :(

Though someone did rather unexpectedly, sort of forgave me, which was generous and partially got me out of a self-induced bleakness.

Forgiveness is so cheap, yet so important.

I still remember, with a bit of a guilty conscience, the old friend whom I had a falling out with during high school and who basically treated me like shit for several years. A few years later he called me up out of the blue and wanted to apologize for the whole deal. When I told him to fuck off he started crying, I shit you not, and pleaded with me to forgive him. It ended with me telling him to go to hell. I feel a bit bad about that, in retrospect, but frankly he was a real fucking dick so it was certainly deserved.

Probably some sort of AA deal.

But yeah, I guess it doesn't hurt to be the bigger man, eh?

Got a new adjunct class at the local Baptist U, for the winter term.  Also, I had two child custody wins this week.

On the negative, my back is killing me, my wife is watching Dim Sum on our Roku, and I may have to drive up to Jackson tomorrow to pour Hornsby's Cider for five hours, a punishment far in excess of my many sins.

Well, as the quote from the classic film Romeo Must Die goes, "Some you win and Dim Sum you lose".

This last week was in the Yukon, I got to visit Mayo and Keno (places I'd never been), I got free pizza in Keno thanks to the Premier, and I've been rocking my new Jets shirt at every opportunity.

It's been a good week.  And now I fly back home tomorrow (with a 5:15am airport shuttle <_<) and get to see my son and wife.  And it's a long weekend. :)

 Life is pretty good! The goat meat is plentiful, and I just finished Marimite's 4th season. Everything is relaxed and pleasant. Yesterday, my best friend in the world and I ate a really filling late night supper at waffle house.

I watched Super Troopers for the first time today, and it was pretty funny stuff.

I have to give him credit, Lettow has a knack for saying bizarre things I wouldn't have ever thought of.
