Given all I've went through of late, I thought it time for some self improvement. So, I have decided to dry out, clean up, and/or get sober. Along with this every time I have an urge, I work out. If nothing else I'll be in better shape if I end up divorced (though I've had some improvement there too)

Mostly through our cross country trip. What an amazing journey it's been so far! We've seen the countryside shift and change so much over the last week. We've landed in Tucson, AZ for a few days before we continue our journey west to the coast. We're staying at a dude ranch for a few days and it's pretty sweet. We may ride horses tomorrow
The guy at the front desk told my wife she'll need to pick up some jeans though. He recommended staying away from the nice designer jeans he was wearing (wranglers) that cost him "$60" and recommended that we go to walmart and pick up something cheap to ride horses with. He "wouldn't wide a horse with designer jeans." I guess I'm good to go then. These 634S aren't designer, and I'll be damned if a horse ride will affect this sturdy denim. Ha! -
People used to ride horses in regular ole jeans just fine, and regular ole jeans used to be just fine. Wal-Mart and the culture of consumption, jeans have become as disposable as Kleenex for some…

A guy who worked for me died yesterday after a long illness, he was only a year older than me. Not looking forward to today at work as I have to break the news to the team and people in general.

Good luck mate. If you want a drunk's advice, PM me.

That's rough Gav. Hope it goes as well as it could considering the news.

It went ok, the dude was a huge Star Wars fan so I'm currently googling Star Wars condolence cards :-\

Just bought a nice bottle of Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut Cuvée. Starters with fresh cheese burger, salad, some taboulé… Then Chili Con Quorne (yes us veggies do get silly now and then) with a wicked good red Italian Primitivo Salento... Then to cool the tastebuds off, some good white Fontareche... Then a Mikkeller Beer Geek Vanilla Shake...
I foresee a slight headache tomorrow...
