Normally
there would be a new “Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcast posted, with me and Stu Gotz, but as I am
now just settling back into the dude-pad, and sure, the both of us could have done a
podcast across the magical land of the internet had I really wanted to, I just
wanted to acknowledge that maybe you noticed a subtle lack of postings since
last Wednesday, with only our review of
“You Don’t Mess With the Zohan” getting reviewed. With that, I’m not blaming
taking a visit to the old country to visit my Mom as an excuse, but, in a good
way, to be detailed in later conversations with Stu and some blogs, I’m blaming
a visit to the old country, okay, it’s just Lorain, o HI o, to visit my Mom, for
those lack of postings. But you know what? – Chicken butt! The thing is that
visiting Mom is always much more important than posting stuff on my web site,
and the weird part is, even though I am 41 years old, I still asked Mom for
permission to go and see said “Zohan” movie when I was at home. She told me to
go and see the movie, but “Don’t be late for supper.” I wasn’t.
My
weekend, though, was kind of weird, but leaving Illinois towards Ohio always
goes through Indiana, sometimes leads to meeting up with some old friends from
Lorain (but not this time), and even though I wasn’t the prepared Boy Scout
that, well, I am not, when I went home, namely not bringing my camera gear,
Lorain almost has some sparks of niceness getting back to it (I like the
pavement of downtown Broadway), but if they end up defeating the “Oh my God, how
am I going to afford the extra $15 for my license plate so that our roads are
better” issue, I will then know that there really isn’t any hope for my
hometown, and I will be sad (and more might be written about that later).
I
did take some crappy photos of my lilac bush, tree, or whatever the thing has
grown to be, but sadly, my lilac bush, tree, etc, lost most of its blooming with the
oppressive heat Lorain was getting, just before my arrival.
Last night, though, I got back in the Chi-Town area, missing the numerous storms
that have rumbled through over the weekend, with a slight power outage impacting
me while I was gone, as far as I can tell, but a summer of discovery is ahead of
me, and don’t let me even get into how I’m trying to transplant a rose bush!
That is definitely a story for another day!
Normal Internet programming should be returning this week!
That’s it for this one!
