BLOG UPDATE!

I know. I hear you crying and I can smell your tears. It's been WAY too long since my last post and a lot has happened. What can I say? I like TV and I spend a lot of time watching it. There are special "Dave" grooves where I park it for viewing. Special thanks to Mega for introducing me to Tosh.0. Genius...simply genius.


Anyway, you'll notice that our last few posts came during Memorial Day Weekend once again spent in Chicago for the annual Bike the Drive. I'll post more about that later and get the photos up too.


In other news, I got some cool shots inside of the Basilica during my niece's Confirmation. I'll post those...maybe. Stop crying.


I know what you really want to know... What's up with the countdown clocks at the top? What's with Julia going to Italy? And didn't Dave just get back from Alaska? One question at a time, please. Our friends, we'll call them the Pherron's, due to the near 7-foot-tall husband of the Pherron Clan, is apparently a god at his work and, thus, gets to go on an all expenses paid trip to Venice and Rome. In order for their daughter to join them, she must have a chaperon. Julia is that chaperon and they didn't need two. So I hate them all since Rome is one of the two places I must still visit before I pass on an take my inevitable seat among the hell fires of Gehenna (Florence, Italy is the other). Did I mention that I hate them all? Even the child.


And Alaska? Remember THIS post? Well I'm going again only this time Julia gets to go too! She got chosen to be the host for a trip at work and I get to go for a steep discount! It's a seven-day cruise from Vancouver to Seward, Alaska. Then we'll take a train to Anchorage and board the Alaska Railroad to Denali. We'll be Audi 5000 from July 6 to the 20th, so try not to miss us. Two EXTREMELY strange things to note about this trip...there will be no driving and no baseball. I don't think I'll know what to do. Hopefully I'll manage.


That's about all for now, but I will get those other photos up soon. That is unless TV rears its ugly head to distract me.
