So here at work we are just coming into our trade show and conference season. As a matter of fact I’m off to the rock’n city of Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday for a conference and trade show. A week of schmoozing, lack of sleep and hopefully not too much drinking. I’ve learnt over the past years that standing on your feet all day trying to sound intelligent with a raging hangover is not the best time ever. So this trip I have half assed committed to being good, however the odds are against me. The group I’m traveling with this time is well known for there trade show antics involving copious amounts of liquor, police intervention and emergency rooms so please pray for my soul.
I am going to try and post while on the road but cant promise anything, however there will most undeniably be some stories to tell when I return. The names however will be changed to protect the Innocent.

Two years ago yesterday on a warm sunny September evening our little boy Alex joined our little family. Ever since then he has not failed to amaze, amuse or even inspire me on a daily basis. So this post is dedicated to Alex a.k.a. “Bub”
No matter how bad of a day I’m having he always seems to make me laugh and smile.
Happy Birthday Bub, I love you!
Wow, more than a week since the last post. Between work sucking ass and being flat on my back with the black death I haven’t been able to even think about this blog which irritates me all to hell. Anyways, the other day I was lying on the couch sick as a dog praying for a quick and painless death when a commercial came on for the Flick Off campaign. For those who are not familiar with Flick off its a movement to fight climate change by the way of reduced energy use thus reducing emissions of green house gases etc, etc. Now I’m all for environmental stewardship, and taking care of our precious mother earth. However, I’m not to sure, and it could have been due to the fact that I had a fever of 103 but the ole Flick off Logo was not telling me to flick off but rather to fuck off.
Now I’m no marketing genius and assume that the similarity is blatantly on purpose because its now cool to be ironic and sublime. I am however wishing it could it be that the guy who was responsible to come up with the logo was high, or had been beaten severely about the head and neck on the way to work that day. Or maybe he was fired and this was his way of getting even, like the time the Disney artist made the Little Mermaid’s castle look like a penis allegedly out of angst. Either way I don’t get it.

Ahhhh the Labour Day weekend, that last climax of summer. It all feels much calmer this Tuesday morning doesn’t it? The kids are back in school, most of the tourist are making their way home, traffic doesn’t have that I want to drive a pick axe into that lady’s hood feel anymore, it just feels like you have let out a great cleansing exhale.
Soon fall will be into full swing with the cool crisp mornings, the warmer clothes, turning of the leaves, warm steamy beverages on the way to work, and my personal favorite, no more yard work. I really really hate yard work.
Be Good
