In a good news bad news sort of thing my second granddaughter was born today. Tomorrow would have been my daughter’s 25th birthday. Was kinda bummed thinking if she were born tomorrow it would ease that date for me. Selfish I know. Anyway the baby is healthy and all that and that’s all that’s important.

Got acknowledged by ownership in our corporate meeting with all global employees viewing for guiding us through the past few months financially.

Didn’t expect that. Feels good though. That stuff is better than a $$ bonus.

But, back to Papa Was A Rolling Stone....

Maybe instead of a bonus they can leave you alone.

No, we still have a loan.

I'm not that good.

There is nothing like the feeling of someone telling you helped them fix their UI benefits and tell them in about three days their bank account is going to get a deposit from the state for $10K . Especially after during the 30 minute call you where on with them they where telling you they where down to the last 100 in their account and didn't know what they where going to do. and you look on the account notes and you see all the people before you who did nothing but fuck up the account more.

it's been a while since I had a puppy, but I seem to recall they can't be around other dogs for the first couple months until they get all their shots. Is that true? You would probably know that more than me since you've had puppies more recently.

But as soon as we get the ok it's on. Our house touches a really nice park with my yard opening up to a soccer field. Lots of room for lab playdates.

What suburb do you live in?

It's about 4 months, certainly after the Lepto, Bordatella, and DHPP shots...so we could be looking at next spring.

Grayslake, but I work in Lincolnshire. There is a dog park at Jaycee Memorial Park in Deerfield too.

10 More Wins

Today my third daughter and her doubles partner finished 3rd in the state at the individual tennis tournament. Last 2 years they have just missed getting to the final tournament of the season. This year they finally got over the hump and got to the big tournament. They went 3 and 1 over the last two days including knocking off 2 private school power houses along the way. I am going to go back and figure out their official record over the next few days, but over the last 3 years they are somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-15. Proud dad and proud coach!

Unless you have a 4th kid but who does THAT?

Nas.
