Go. Go. Go. GO!

So starts the traditional chant before a vacation or trip that doesn't involve work. Jen will call and say, "Go!" and I'll say "Go!" It's silly and stupid for sure BUT it is something that we do. And Lord knows that YOU don't do silly shit like that. NO not you:)

Oh, an aside. I have been using "Blog This!" to post to this blog for two years and now it is possessed! Every time I hit the RETURN to start a paragraph the little imp posts what I am writing and DOESN'T just start a new paragraph. Just happened in fact when I tried to start this paragraph. So I have to log in to the main blog account and edit the post that is one paragraph long. In fact, in this case, I had to delete one post, since I hit RETURN twice and had two incomplete posts. I have no reason why the thing does this now BUT it is aggravating.

Back to the subject at hand. We are taking a trip! Off to NJ. Weather isn't cooperating however. The Northeast US has suffered a very wet and cold spring - like high 60's, low 40's, rain 4 out of 5 days spring. Not totally what you expect. My dad and I have a baseball game to attend on Sunday and the weather BETTER be good for that one. Baseball in the rain SUCKS, not because of the rain, but because of the RAIN DELAYS. If it rains hard enough they will SUSPEND play and wait - fans wait in the rain. Not these fans by God. Anyway, as you can see there is some angst about the trip. Not to mention the BAGGAGE demands. OH, I know that I mentioned that Jen, my wife, and Jessie, my 16yr old, are going to. Do you know how many clothes that involves with only ONE type of season to dress for? Here we are back at the weather discussion, sorry. BUT there are TWO seasons going on here. My back is already objecting. I don't know if the rental car will hold the bags or not but I'll let you know.

Shit, the weather is still the subject here in SC. Today it is rainy and cloudy. Yesterday it was rainy and cloudy. The day before it was rainy and cloudy. See a pattern? Now look, this is the SOUTH not the Northwest, or England for god's sake. NO wonder those folks are crabby or depressed or addicted to coffee and tea or whatever. This is not typical Southern weather and I want my normal weather back! There I feel better. Oops. Time to get to work. Folks are coming into the office. Is it 3 pm yet?

Go. Go. Go. GO!
