Getting caught up on a few things

Hi there.  I know, I know.  I've been slacking when it comes to new entries.  Been a slow summer.  Alright to catch you up on everything, here's what's been going down with yours truly.
The garden is looking good.  Green bean, zucchini, and yellow squash harvest has been plentiful so far.  Yellow cherry tomatoes also being harvested and red tomatoes are starting to turn color and ripen.  The patio quartet of potatoes, peppers, eggplant, and lettuce are looking good; and I should be harvesting a variety of different colored carrots in about a month.
Bedroom renovation has begun and it looks like a war zone.  The room has been painted and now just waiting for the carpet to be installed.  Slumming in it in the guest bedroom for now.  
And finally, somehow a stray mother cat and her two kittens have decided to adopt my family.  They were squatting underneath the cover of my barbecue grill at first but have moved to a better location that makes me a lot happier.  Man or beast, don't even think about going near or messing with my Char-Broil Pro-model Grill.  That is a capital offense with grave consequences.  
Here's the big difference between cats and dogs.  People adopt dogs and the dogs accept that fact.  Cats on the other hand, its the other way around.  They adopt people and you accept that fact.  I have no desire to be a pet owner and if I did, I would go buy a rabbit hutch from Gardentime and then find a bunny rancher and pick out a male New Zealand Satin like the one I had as a kid. 
I'm sorry but I'm more of a Winter Olympics fan than a Summer Games one.  Not into track and field, gymnastics, swimming and some of the other sports.  The only two I care about are Team Handball and Field Hockey.  Besides the Winter Games have cooler events.  Ice Hockey, the sledding events, skiing, biathlon, and my favorite...curling.  
Who would have thought the big scandal at this years games would be badminton players taking the gas pipe in matches so they would go into the losers bracket for a better chance at winning a medal.  We're talking about a game played in your backyard.  If we're playing barbecue and picnic games at the next summer games in Brazil in 2016, I proposed that jarts and bocce be included as Olympic events.
22 total medals and 18 of them gold.  Michael Phelps, you are indeed the man in and out of the pool.
I liked it better when the swimsuits were less aerodynamic and less water resistant.  I want to see suits that have a color other than black.  Kind of boring if you ask me.
More and more often when I'm in my office before I go on the air at 2pm, I tune into Dennis Miller on WWSC.  He's one funny cat and he doesn't sound like a bitter, racist, cry baby when he talks conservative politics unlike Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage.
Rex Ryan used restraint when President Obama chimed in on the Jets qb controversy.  Did someone spike his chocolate pudding at Cortland? 
Eli Manning must love the fact that everybody is talking about Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow even though he has led the Giants to 2 Superbowl wins in the past 4 years and was the MVP in both of them. Just go about your business getting ready for the season under the radar.  Come on Eli, don't you also know that you're also only the third best qb in your division behind Tony Romo and Robert Griffin III?
Jerry Jones, would you please just shut up?
Now for a public service announcement.  Friends don't let friends do the dance listening to the Neon Trees song, "Everybody Talks" while driving.  Keep your hands on the wheel.
I don't like being complimented.  It embarrasses the hell out of me.  I found that out not once but twice in the last week and my mom pointed it out to me.  
9 more days til the start of high school football practice.
Finally, if you get the chance, remember to either stop on by the radio station at 238 Bay Road, pick up an entry form, raise some money and be a part of the annual Go-Cart race on August 14th.  Most fun thing we do and it helps 6 worthy charities.  If you don't want to drive in the race, make a donation to someone you know who is or help Dan, Pete, or Mike with a donation...Leccese out.
