So I get a huge package in the mail today from my mom.
WTF? A cane? I know I'm getting older, but I'm not that freaking old!
Wait a minute..the handle is loose..it unscrews? This can't be a cane sword. I may be too young for a cane, but I'm definitely too old for a cane sword.
Wait..that's not a sword. Is that what I think it is?
It is! It's a freaking cane with a secret pennywhistle inside.
That's...pretty dang cool.

Did a wedding last night, all DJ style. It's been two years since I did a gig and it was just like I'd never left. The bride has two sisters whose weddings I DJed so they called me and I came out of retirement just because I liked them. It was an amazingly fun evening that made me question why I stopped doing it...until the music stopped and I had to lug several hundred pounds of sound equipment back to my car and drive home at 2 in the morning.
But I had fun, the bride & groom were extremely happy, I got to see some people I hadn't seen in a while...and I made $325. $125 for the gig and a $200 tip. Not bad for 5 hours of work.

Get a couple minimum wage college students to lug gear before after and... well, basically you have what my radio station calls a "remote broadcast." But we charge $500.

Bandstand Music charges that much as well. I am just the subcontractor.
And with 2,000 words written today, bringing the total word count to 60,000, the first draft of THE DAME WAS A TAD POLISH is now complete!
Let the editing commence!

Also, I've made my decision:

Eh, I don't know. Whenever we typed his name without tagging him, it was always without the underscore. I think the underscore was used before we could add spaces into our nicknames.
Looks good to me.
Yeah, sure, right, Dill totally won't have abbreviated the same word three different ways this time

My grandfather had his surgery this morning. Had a stent put in to open up an artery with 95% blockage. It was on the front of the heart, and hard to reach. He had a bad night, and we almost lost him then.
But he made it. He made it, he's already looking a lot better, and he had a ravenous appetite. Thank you, God. (And doctors. Can't forget the doctors.)

You are a Gentleman and a Scholar Zap. It drove me crazy when my family was thanking god alone for my 80 year old grandfathers time in the hospital. ya know not a team of the best doctors in Minnesota, that with years of experience and skill unknown to me pulled him back from the embrace of death. God didn't even send them to us, it was god who healed my grandfather ಠ_ಠ. I respect everyone's beliefs, believe me, I am not out to be a thorn in anyone's side, but I feel like when shit like that goes down you can at least give the surgeons and medical staff a little bit of the credit for helping your loved one pull through.
also brofist for solidarity, i feel you on grandparents in the hospital that are touch and go.
@ThatNickGuy Why Icelandic hot springs? Why not Finnish? Just wondering if I am missing something. And, the tribute is really great - 
Whoops, you're right.[DOUBLEPOST=1406123846,1406123604][/DOUBLEPOST]Speaking of Dill, this arrived in the mail today from a friend:@ThatNickGuy Why Icelandic hot springs? Why not Finnish? Just wondering if I am missing something. And, the tribute is really great -
Tiny armadillo get!
I've noticed that the people who volunteer most often are the ones who have the hardest time asking for help.
I've also noticed that they often get the most help when they finally get around to asking.

I found Illy coffee in drip grind! I haven't had Illy since we went to Rome and I have it brewing right now. *swoon*
So, how many does this make?
More epic win!

Today is my 16th wedding anniversary. 16 years ago today, the Civil War was reenacted outside in the SC heat as New Yorker squared off against South Carolinian on either side of the aisle. Actually, embarrassingly, my family, which lived an hour and a half a way, barely turned out, while my wife's family--the entire mafia--flew in from New York.
Nah, that's not fair. Just because they're raging Italian-American stereotypes doesn't mean they're in the mafia. If they were, they probably kill me for sa
