Hello Inter-web! The lady and I have decided to post things to a website. I have been wanting to blog for a while, but like most things I am a year or more past the "coolness" of telling people you have a blog. It won't even be good to use as a pick up line because all I will be picking up is my wife. Maybe it is a good line, she is kind of a tech nerd. Blogging stilll good.
Today's topic is about disappointment. Dissapoinment about the football games being played today. There are currently four teams competing for a spot in the Superbowl. The worst part about this is not that football is almost over, but the fact that none of those teams are the Bears.
My next disappointment of the day came when I realized Musician's Friend messed up my order for a piano. I got Holly a piano for X-mas. Ordered it with plenty of time prior to X-mas to get it shipped to our KC home. Well, the item that was labeled as "in-stock and redy for shipment" was actually on backorder until 01/17/09. Additionally, only recent noted by me the checkbox that says "Shipping address is same as billing address" does not work. The last known shipping address was to my brother when he was living at my folks home. So currently there is a paino en route to my parent's house in IL w/ attention to my brother. Merry X-Mas Jeff, you are getting a piano!
We celebrated our friend Katie's b-day on Friday by going dancing and staying out until 3am. Holly and Katie did enough dancing for everyone in the bar. I know it is usually going to be a long night when the bar we are at is serving beers in cups which are the size of 7-Eleven Big Gulps.
On Tuesday or Wednesday night we went on a welcome home mission for the Patriot Guard. As in the KC Giammanco Clan fashion, we went and bought things for an event that we didn't use. We planned on riding the motorcycle up to the airport so we we went and bought leather chaps. After we bought the chaps I mentioned to Holly that we needed another American Flag. So I went to H-Depot and bought two big and beautiful American flags. We ended up driving to the airport and leaving our flags in the car. In the end, the chaps got used today and the American flags will get used at somepoint. The best part was that the Marine made it home! We had about 20-25 people that lined up in a flag line to welcome the hero home. The Marine's wife was present to see her husband get off the plane. Hopefully we will be able to make many more welcome home missions. We will be there for the other missions as needed.
I went for a long ride on the motorcycle today. It was 40 degrees so I wore the new chaps, my leather jacket, leather gloves, and full face helmet. I was smoking hot while in the house, but once I was on the road I wish I had worn long undies. I was gone for 2.5 hours in the cold. It took me a while to get warmed up once I got home. Holly and I went and got Chinese food at Bo Lings (Holly's fav Chinese food). I pummelled the hot tea.
