Me Too

While I can’t plead as much physical effort as Peiper, I’ve been on a mad honey-dew project the past several days myself. Or perhaps a plethora of them. My wife had most of the week off from work, because the doctor she works for changed his vacation plans and decided he’s going now instead of later. And being a doctor, and therefore a Great I Am, he decided there was no reason to keep the office open when he wasn’t there. So all the admins, techs, and lesser doctors lost a week’s work. Not the smartest business model IMO, but that’s the way it goes.

So we’ve been doing things. Cleaning like mad. We were away for a day trip and came home to a swarm of fruit flies in the kitchen. Thousands of them. Must have been eggs in some piece of fruit. Extra fun, but after several days I’ve got them beat. Fixing the computer; the suddenly dead monitor messed with our plans and had to take priority. Another large and involved electronics project that gave me lots of heavy lifting and required me to re-wire the stereo again. Etc and so forth.

All of this hasn’t left me much of any time to sit down and blog. No time, actually.

Hey, we won all 7 in bowling this week. That should put us about 15 points up over the 2nd place team, and with just 4 weeks left in this little summer league, that’s where we want to be. No exceptional bowling to report, though I’m giving myself the save for game 2. My team was having a tough time of it, and if I hadn’t battened down and thrown 50 over for a 235 we would have lost. Teamwork! The last 2 weeks of a season are always play off rounds on any bowling league, 1st place team plays 2nd, 3rd place plays 4th, etc. If we can hold onto that 15 point lead until then, then we will have a lock on 1st and have no worries. One of the guys on the 2nd place team moved to the southern end of the state last week, so they’ve brought in a replacement. I know the guy, a really great guy and he’s a superb bowler. Like 240 average good. Ouch. So it’s almost a given that they will be winning most of the nights they play from now on, though their handicap is going to seriously spike. We’ll see. But my team really wants that silly little trophy, so the fight is on.

So what’s this shiite I hear that a ICBM accidentally launched itself in California? Has NORAD been hacked by the Chinese or something? I haven’t even had the news on in more than a week.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
