Put some honey, brown sugar, olive oil, lemon juice, S+P and chiles chipotles in a blender and am using this as a salmon marinade. Not for the faint of palate I think. :D

Boy oh boy. Samardzjia throws lights out for 8 innings and Marmol comes in and now he's out and things are shaky. Same thing. Can't throw strikes. Stay tuned.

Snacking my way thru Mariano's. again!

Bad day at black rock. Don't know hat to say except thanks to those who helped. That's all I should say really.

LBJ is a great player no doubt but seeing him complain about rough stuff reminds me that MJ got it and worse but never complained. LBJ complained about Capt. Kirk taking him down but hey what was he supposed to do? He just bulled into him. I'd grab too. C'mon LBJ. Be like Mike.

So heres how jury duty went today. Went with my group and got selected to sit in the jury box but the case got settled. OK. Went back to the holding area and my group got called again. There were about 32 people and we were told to leave but be back in 40 mins. after lunch. OK. So 14 people get called for the jury box but three are not there. One shows up 20 mins. late and the other about 30 mins. late so guess who gets called to sit? Me. Then the guy whose place I took strolls in 70 mins. p...

Off to the train for jury duty today.

God I luv Mariano's. got some steaks and they cook them for U free! Too cold to grill outside

So busy yesterday running around after three crazy busy days at work. One bad patient and we all hump. Had friends over last night so today I will embody the real "L" word. LAZY! :D just had some chips and guac. Yeh man, its all good.

#2 seed Georgetown just lost to #15 seen Fla. coastal or something like that. :D Another reason the NCAA is the best sporting event of the yr.

I don't believe it. Robert Morris University, a local Chicago school just beat Kentucky, one of the most renowned basketball programs in college sports in the first round of the NIT. Thats like Albania beating the Miami Heat. Unbelievable!

In addition to all the countries in the EU in grave financial trouble add the tiny island nation of Cyprus to this group. So what did the EU banks think to do? Why seize a portion personal, yes personal funds in Cypriot banks and put the money in their own pockets even though the EU has a guarantee ala the FDIC for funds up to 100,000 Euros. Robin Hood is rolling over in his grave. The measure did not pass BTW but how can you even think of such a thing? ? ? Who would think of such a thing? ?...

So people are commenting about how Satan in the History Channels mini series "The Bible" look like Obama. Personally that never occurred to me. However I do wonder how many will see this as an omen. Well for me I say don't demonize someone because you disagree with their politics. I certainly did not agree with how "W" ran the country but at heart I think he is a good man. I think Obama is too so let's not go off the deep end here though I fear many are already there. JM2C.

can finally start my day. Over 1 hr. on the tele with Apple trouble shooting a plug in problem. Anyway its resolved. The senior advisor who the issue got bumped up to resolved it in 5 mins. The first guy sounded new but he was nice and hey we all have to begin at some point. No matter how good you are at what you do never forget what it was like to be at the beginning.

Ah Hawks in a close one, up 8-1 and on the power play. We need one more! :D

So I am in line at the car dealership for a wash/vac waiting my turn and the guy behind me asks the attendant to let him go ahead of me. He!! no! WTF man wait your turn like everyone else.

Hawks win! !

I had a dream that I found like 10 dozen brand new top of the line Titleist golf balls. Think I'm getting the itch!

So we went to see Jay and Albrey and he's all excited telling us about a promotion he got. So what's the first thing Sue says? Congratulations? Nope. She says "so when are you getting her a rock! :D

well the snow has arrived and its coming down steady and incessantly. The good news is Im off and it seems to be a light snow so removal should be easier than the wet, heavy stuff two weeks ago.

Busy, busy day. Came home looking forward to the last salmon burger we had, open the fridge to get the mayo mixed with lime juice and minced red onion and Sumi say "Larry I ate the salmon. You can make more tomorrow." Sigh. Well I guess they were good.

Well I'll be damned. I left a message about our state pension problems wit one of the state reps and she personally just called me back and we had a 20 min. conversation about it. I AM IMPRESSED!

Relaxing watching "Battleship". What cool CGI's.

There was a proposal in the Ill. House of reps to immediately up the retirement age from 55 to 67. It got one vote for, from Mike Madigan who happens to be the speaker. After this shouldn't he resign as no one else thinks his ideas are worth a red cent?

Some dummy just ran a red, nearly T-boned me as I was turning left on the arrow and then yelled at me! I think my reply melted the wax in her ears but probably not her brain.
