Uh oh.  More storms.   The last time there were massive red cells on a radar around here I had a 75 year old evergreen fall in the backyard.  

Yikes.

I'm beginning to think the whole Red Sox thing has gone too far.

The week is over, the quarter is just about over, and I am going into recovery mode for the weekend. I'm also not feeling so hot at the moment, so taking it easy this weekend sounds like a good thing to do. Time to de-stress and hang around with the boys.

Next week will be a busy one work wise but I'm also planning to take a long holiday weekend trip to Maryland for the 4th of July. That's a 400 mile drive with two dogs in tow, so I'll need this weekend to catch up on sleep to make up for it :)

My sleepy boys...

I am still in mourning over Tim Russert, whom I had watched nearly every Sunday morning since my teenage years (and in recent months if I missed an episode of MTP, I've been able to sync the video podcast to my iPhone to get up to speed).  

And now we have lost George Carlin.   I am incredibly saddened by this, as well.   He was, perhaps, one of my favorite comedians.   His brash, crude, break-the-mold routines were just so outrageously entertaining.  Larry King is doing a tribute show to him right now and guest Lewis Black is on the verge of tears.    That is not something you see every day. 

So go to Google and type in the "7 words you can't say on TV".   When you get the results there will be a link to a video near the top.  Watch it.  And laugh. 

Perhaps I'll work up the gall to post it on the blog in the coming days.   I keep my posts pretty clean, so it would be a departure in style for me.   But it's one of many legendary (and possibly the best known) bits to come from such a spectacular entertainer.

Sitting on the back porch with a glass of iced tea just cooling down after mowing the lawn. The boys are hard at work on their "Dingo" bones (Sprout at left, Rocco on the right).

We're due for some thunderstorms later on so I will enjoy this while I can...

Ominous clouds in the sky...  still adjusting to frequent thunderstorms.  They are just as I remembered...

The day after their championship win, a sweet reminder...

The boys are happy to be home, and I am already back into my crazy pace at work.   More later...
