What's Going On?

As I'm looking back on my blog, I've noticed a bit of negligence on my part. Sorry about that. So I thought I'd tell you about what's going on lately. So, forgive me if I may ramble.

With temperatures climbing past the 60 degree mark for the first time since October of last year, I've itching to get outside and really enjoy the fresh air and feel the sun's warmth. So I ended up taking a ride in my new car.

With my windows rolled down, my hair blowing in the wind and the stereo blasting Santana, I felt a relief that my brakes in the car were fixed. Yeah, just a mere two weeks having acquired the car I'm spending $350 for a brake job! Ya think something like this should be happening so soon? Not under warranty either. Believe me, the dealership got an earful...

Eying the last of the snow that still remained on the ground from last month's big blizzard, I couldn't help to think about the catastrophe in Japan. The earthquakes, the tsunamis and the nuclear meltdowns, they have it really bad. Much, much worse than the big assed blizzard I witnessed here. I wonder of when and how Japan would ever get back on their feet after such a disaster. My heart goes to those who live there.

I thought about taking a trip to Madison to see the Capital, I haven't been there in years. With the Walker Bill thing going on and all the protesters hanging out there, it doesn't seem like a good idea to go. For one, I'm politically inept. Much of it is just jargon to me. The possible ending of collective bargaining for public unions, the Democrats running off to Illinois, budget cuts and layoffs-it's all Greek to me. Honestly, I'm not sure on how it would affect me. (Not trying to be selfish here) All I know that a lot of people are pissed....

As I made a stop to visit my "daughter" at her new place. She finally moved out from the clutches and the drama of my ex-wife. Which is a good thing. She can finally make it on her own and have a family lifestyle that she so desires. I'm proud of her for that. This way my "granddaughter" can enjoy being raised in a normal household.

Man, has she gotten BIG! Almost four years old! She's bouncing around and squealing with delight-calling me Gampa! Brings a joy to my heart and smile to my face....Gave me hug when I said goodbye...

Which reminds me, I haven't seen too much of my son lately. He been hanging around his friends more these days. I miss him.

I made my back home to the arms of my girlfriend feeling blessed about what I have. She was just telling me about her daughter may be going to UW-Parkside nearby Kenosha to further her education. Looking forward to be out on her own, she's studying for marine biology and psychology. I praying that she would accepted...

Thinking about it all...for every bump in road there's a light around the corner.....So what's going with you?
