  1. Demon of Unrest was enlightening, especially with regards to South Carolina's role in starting the civil war. Just finished this one. Great read.
  2. My wife is grieving her mom’s recent death. Today, she was feverish with the flu, and as I was driving her to the doctor, she mumbled, “I know I'm going to hell for saying this, but at least now my vote won’t just offset mom’s.”
  3. Flying home from an 11 day vacay. Had a dream last night where me, Kyrie, and Brisket were tasked with renovating a sorority house that had been hurricane damaged. We were trying to establish things like budget, materials, timeline, scope, and those girls were of zero help. Head scratcher for sure. Anyway, sober life is good. My break from CR has been calming.
  4. Well, we had a splendid time in the old city, at the Hotel du Vieux which was pretty luxurious. I didn't believe a place could have 2000+ reviews with fewer than 10 negatives but it was legit. I don't know how one lives without heated bathroom floors. The restaurant there was Bistro Hortus and it was amazing. Hiked the falls which was neat. Walked through the holy door at Notre Dame and lit a candle for my late MIL. Rented a car and explored the isle De Orleans for a full day, then did the NCL Gem (Haven level) to Charlottetown, Sydney, Halifax (Peggy’s Cove) Portland, Kennebunkport, Bar Harbor (Acadia NP), Boston, and Salem. Ate so much fucking lobster I'm about to grow an exoskeleton. Had a weird dream last night where me, Kyrie, and Brisket were the GCs in charge of renovating a sorority house. Weird.
  5. Flying in on Wednesday morning, on Friday we’re doing the same cruise but in reverse - QC to Boston. My first, her 2nd. NCL Gem, top front center balcony. I fucked up and booked the Marriot with the incorrect dates so had to scramble but found this place - Hotel Du Vieux Quebec https://hvq.com/ in the old city which looks really cool so I'm excited. My wife’s mom was on the trip/post I bumped from 2018 and we had her funeral this past weekend, so this is a much needed getaway.
  6. Last storm put 7” of water in my BIL’s parents house in Treasure Island right by John’s Pass, and totalled all their vehicles. They were planning on living on their boat while renovating. They noped out yesterday.
  7. Spent 4 days entertaining O&G execs at a golf event in OK. One vendor had fabricated a pina colada machine. This contraption contains a 5 gallon igloo water cooler and a kitchen garbage disposal to chop the ice. I always shroud my “I don't drink” statements with a little bit of mystery and intrigue.
  8. Ok I lasted til the 4th. Burying my wife’s mom tomorrow morning, she valiantly fought Glioblastoma for a year. That's some seriously bad cancer. I had to miss my yearly 4 day AA retreat/conference but was blessed to be with her the last week of her life. I hope I never again hear the guttural noise that my wife made when her mom shook off this mortal coil. Anyway, I've got people descending on my house from all parts near and far but wanted to check in with my people. Still not going to be here daily as Ill be taking my wife on a leaf peeping cruise in Canada on Wednesday. Hope you're all well.
  9. I’m stepping away from all social media for a month to focus on some challenging professional tasks and opportunities that sobriety and my higher power have presented. My “ism” includes a general internet dopamine addiction, and I want to see if I can put it down. Those of you who have my personal info have my blessing to share it with any problem drinkers, as helping alcoholics remains paramount. See y’all on Oct 9th.
  10. Celery man is Raleigh, IIRC
  11. It’s an epidemic. I just looked on the spice rack and there is a lid that is sitting on a jar top at an angle.
  12. Fuck Yes!! My grandfather had this in his garage. He would aim his big ol’ Caddy right at her cleavage. The man loved to park that car.
  13. From the local news in Beaumont a while back.
  14. So I’m in the Friday afternoon flight. Seems like a great chance for a practical joke on the rest of my foursome. Thoughts?
  15. Dude, you do you but why the hateful take. Everyone knew exactly what they were getting with Mike, and decided it beat the alternative. He did more with less and made it fun. I fuckin miss the guy. He wrote a book about Geronimo, ffs.
  16. Such a weird flex. A business attempting to protect its inventory/product from unnecessary breakage, and shitboi protests. Weird. W E E E E E R D.
  17. Honestly, I’m not mad at the Judge. Avoids further martyrdom Trump loses, and as a final fuck you gets a severe sentence. Delicious.
  18. Am assuming you played video games at the gold mine before shopping for Girbaud jeans at Butch Hoffers?
  19. Man, since you put it that way…not such a funny joke.
  20. My Friday men’s lunch group includes a friend who owns a glass company. For over 10 years my standard greeting is “Hey buddy, how’s business? You need me to go out and create some demand? I’ve got a bag of rocks in my truck, it won’t take me long.”
  21. That pilot’s name? You guessed it - Whit Whitaker.
  22. That makes total sense for P66. CP is about to start merging Marathon into their lower 48 operations.
  23. Over 1,000 employees. But most of my contacts are in Houston.
