cold is almost gone, knock wood ( trollie raps knuckles on his head), voice is still a little shaky on the high notes but feels pretty good, had a good rehearsal today for NCC, but have a bit of a problem, actually have two rehearsals scheduled for 7 pm tuesday, but talked to J and will take the week off from worship team.....with a NCC rehearsal both tuesday and saturday afternoon, and the 2 performances, saturday evening and sunday afternoon that will be enough of a work out for my voice.....particularly as i am just getting over this cold and still not 100%.....blogshares is still done....and i'm getting a quick refusal when i try to connect.....doesn't sound good....as we all know things have a nasty habit out here in internet land of just going poof!!!!, now you see it . now you don't....have a heavy day tomorrow so i'm off........

it's been a cold blustery day up here in the north country. originally they had predicted heavy snow, which they changed to moderate, but so far i would describe it as a dusting, we've got just a few inches, or rather a couple of inches would be more accurate, and tomorrow has been now updated to snow changing to rain, not that i really want either but i'll take the rain, because A- i live on high ground and B- you don't have to shovel rain....well i do have a snow blower but you get the picture.....blogshares is still down....this is the longest outage i can remember....rats....cold is almost gone but i got a twinge out of my back earlier, i'm embarrassed to admit as i was standing up off the throne.....really weird...you would have thought being lighter then when i sat down there would have been less pressure on the back.....truth is i think it's the weather change....and then my back does go out from time to time....feels better now but it still is a bit sore........off to watch the bond marathon on spike tv........

it's a quiet, i haven't done a dang thing all day day...well not entirely true...went out and bought a few things....had a craving for white clam sauce and am to lazy to make my own, so bought a can but have spent most of the day watching the monster garage marathon on discovery....bummed out because blogshares has been done most of the day...have a whole day to play and it ain't there....ah well....feel good today, the cold is still hangin' on a little but otherwise feel good......made the mistake of going out arsenal street today....main shopping area in town....traffic was wild, so decided to take the back way home.....it's been rain cats and dogs today and forgot about the one low spot in the back way out of the plaza without storm drains.....oh boy.....i hit what i thought was a low puddle which turned out to be about 2 foot of standing water.....must of looked like a hydroplane with the rooster tail i shot up....but got through with out a problem.......ah well.....
i am slowly teaching this spell check my rather slang form of english but i really wish i could program it to learn that i never, well almost never use caps.......

quiet day, had a nice dinner, neighbors and inlaws....daughter and her hubby dropped by for dessert.....brought a video the the martial arts class that they attend made, it was funny watching her throw her hubby all over the place, i haven't seen her do the martial arts for about a year, she's improved greatly....purple belt.....also received her masters degree in reading......with just under a 4.0 cumm......otherwise a restfully day......

Fear Continues To Masquerade As Justice (washingtonpost.com) a thought provoking article

really long day at work, spent about 5 and 1/2 hours on one project, a rather complicated overseas shipment and when i was about 15 minutes from getting it done got a message that the might be adding to it....ah well....i have room on a couple of the pallets so that won't be too bad...it could be worse...the could be taking something off...and that has happened once or twice...and believe me you don't want to be within a 100 miles of the old trollie if that happens...we got about an inch of snow on the ground right now....which isn't really any problem at all....have one more day to work this week and tomorrow should be a relatively quiet day....production has the day off so maybe i'll get caught up...have a few things from today that didn't get done and a few housekeeping chores that i haven't got to...looking forward to the 4 day weekend....oops....i've been talking about the 4 day weekend like the typical ugly american trollie, assuming everyone knows why....thursday is thanksgiving in the US....and friday is also a traditional day off...the start of the christmas shopping season...and one of the busiest retail shopping days of the year....trollie stays home that day....

well that was different, i tried to post earlier and blogger was not available....that's the first time i got a can't find screen for blogger in a long time, it's really been stable for the last 4 or 5 months......i've been thinking of maybe starting another blog....but a password protected one that only selected of my web-buds have access to, there are things sometimes that i want to post, get off my chest as it were but would rather not have the world know....had a frustrating day at work.....just nit picky stuff were the timing just hasn't worked out right and in order to put it right will require a special effort...sometimes everything works the way you want it to, but most of the time....oh well......have actually felt a lot better today but i sound like i'm on my last legs...voice is horse and raspy.....and i got a fair amount of drainage but feel ok...need to get some sleep and i'll be okay.....2 more days and i'm off for 4.....yahoo......aggie just wandered in with her little i'm lonely cry.....not that anything can truly be called little on a 15 pound house cat...so i'd best sign off...don't try posting to your blog when a 15 pound cat is on your lap trying to butt type....it ain't pretty

boy did i wake up feeling lousy this morning, i have a major head cold and it also has effected my voice, all that garbage doing the dip dip dip into my throat, well got through teaching and church but had not high notes....just not there so skipped NCC....would have been a waste of time and besides i felt lousy...felt better this evening and just need to get through 3 days this week and then have a 4 day weekend....which i need...have somethings i would like to say but have not the words nor in the mood to say them....will probably write more over next week end.....
