Springing back

Well, spring is upon us, and I'm wound up tighter than a Bumble Bee's bum. It's been a long cold winter, baby, and the sun has been warm and taunting. February had some 80 degree temps, but it was still a long season. At least from my pov. It's now officially spring, and nearly summer, and, like the seasons, my life has evolved.

For one, you may have noticed the Simpsonized me! The resemblance is amazing, no? I've always been drawn to cartoons. Here, I am drawn AS one!! Love that! WOOHOO!! The best show in the history of tv is in it's 19th(? DOH!) season, and never any better.

My son is in Korea now. He expects to be there for at least a year, possibly two. Hopefully, it'll be as uneventful as his stint in Iraq, earlier this year. God bless you, son. I love you.

Here's one of the pics he sent with him and a friend he was stationed with in Misawa. hmmmm...ever the hugger!

I've started to expand my "garden of eatin'" with some Pumpkins, Watermelon, and, of course, my 'maters. I did some landscaping to try and pretty up the joint, too. I've raked!! Heck, I may even MOW!! Right? WOOHOO!!

I'll probably transplant my herbs into pots, this weekend. the weather s'posed to be rainy, but I'll work between the drops. I've done it before, by gum! I'll do 'er agin!

Been diligently workin' on "the Bay" (eBay, that is; cyber gold; Texas Tea). My hovel is a mess with all the shipping supplies and several plethoras of ebayable stuff all queued and askewed; a'rarin' to be sold or rejected. Its pretty exciting, really. I've been amassing, hoarding, collecting, saving, keeping, and storing stuff ever since I was old enough to have a place to store it, and a surface to place it on. I suffered through many ex-wife comments about my keeping stuff that only takes up space. So, now, I'm feeling quite vindicated that I'm finally able to unload. Ebay came along at a great time. Thank you Cyber Gods. Thank you!

The down side (up side? latteral side?) is that I also have been buying cd's and dvd's with some of the $$ I gained from selling! DOH! However, I love music, so I'm ok with my self-indulgence.

I got tickets for Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass fest this year. It's been a couple years since I could afford it. I'm looking forward to it. Plus, my bro Ray will be coming with me. It'll be the second time in our lives that we'll be doing something together besides hanging out as kids. (well, if you discount all the mischief and mayhem we generated as the trouble-making twosome of yore.

He also plans on moving up here from Mass next year, so we can get together more often. We'll see, I guess.

Got my MC back on the road! Or, at least, on the driveway. I've yet to venture out on it. It's been about 13 years since I rode it, so I'm basically back to learning all over again....sigh.....

Well, sir blogger, I guess I'd better sign off for now. It was nice writing on you again. Sorry it's been so long. I hope you forgive me and we can be blogger and blog again. Please?
