Welcome to my online diary.

I intend to keep track of the days here, and my thoughts, some pictures etc. Hope you enjoy!!


Today was a laid back day. I awoke at about 930 am, with a long dog walk in mind, leading up to washing a weeks worth of dishes I have neglected due to sheer laziness. My wife scalded me a bit for "trying to spring outta bed" and suggested "let the morning come to YOU, not YOU to IT....by gawd it's SATURDAY!!"

I knew she was right, so I slowed down a bit and watched the news on CNN for about an hour before finally taking the dog for a long walk.

I usually take a 2 mile round trip walk with the dog. From my doorstep to the Parley Pratt statue that adorns "Parley's Way" it is about 1 mile even. I take the dog in a full circle around the statue and head back home...which is now uphill. We usually do the entire walk in about 20 minutes, as I am a fast walker and the dog is well trained to walk well with me.
But, today, for some reason I had some pains in my shins that made me take several breaks and the walk lasted about 35 minutes.

Although the dog was well behaved and the weather was exceptional for February, I cannot say I enjoyed the walk very much today due to the pain I was feeling.

After I returned home I relaxed and spent some time on my coin site on NGC posted a journal entry there, emailed my Mom, read an email from my brother, and emailed NGC regarding an interview I would like to post on my other blog "The Numis Collector".

After I did that, I went to the kitchen and began washing dishes. I have no dishwasher, so the pile of dishes took about 3 hours, including breaks to let the hot water catch up again.

When the dishes were done, it was time to cook dinner...and dirty the damned things up again!!

I made a stir fry with sliced steak and mega frozen vegetables and some cellophane noodles. I would have made rice, but by the time I realized I needed rice..my stir fry was about done.
By the way....cellophane noodles are not a great choice for stir fry!! But, we made do.

As I was eating the stir fry, I watched "Dirty Jobs" as they were on a fishing vessel and gutting cod...a great thing to watch whilst eating slimy noodles.

That brings me to this point where I have created this blog (it's about630 pm) and am going to facebook to add a link there to here.

The rest of the evening will be spent watching TV, making shitty comments about the shows (think the 2 old men on The Muppet Show"...that's me and my wife) and we'll most likely watch SNL then go to sleep.

That's my day...how was yours?
