it was a little bit of a sluggish morning after a few brews last night with birdman and lyons. plus i got to have the usual run in with jennings and his buddy dave at fox and the hound. little background, as jennings will tell you, dan is one of dad’s oldest and closest friends and was the best man at both of dad’s weddings. he is a hell of a guy. i hadn’t seen him in quite some years when i ran into him at midtown 51 a couple of months ago. and we run into each other every once in awhile, anyway, back to the sluggish morning. since the sale of the division was approved by the judge yesterday, we started orientation type stuff today. i sat and learned how to use a phone this morning. thanks go out to jennifer for keeping me awake through that one. i mean, who knew that the mute button only works for the speaker phone and not the handset? not me. and i appreciate all the feedback that i got on the site today from friends and fam alike. its going to take a bunch of tweaking to get her done the way i want. and there are a ton of pics of folks that i gotta get on there. i had a repeat of an interesting conversation today. the first time around was when fitz and i were talking about that sad incident a week or so back. a woman here in CLT was trying to get away from her husband who was beating her, so she moved in with a friend from work. a couple of days later, the wife and her friend were walking into her friend’s house after work when the etranged husband came out from behind a tree and killed the friend with a shovel. the friend was just trying to help and she left behind a widower and two young children. the topic of the conversations was, what is it in a persons mind that trips where murdering an innocent person with a shovel in their front yard is acceptable? and do we all have that capacity with with the right trigger? i personally don’t know what would push me over the edge like that. and i don’t have kids or a wife just yet so i guess the paternal instinct is yet to be activated in my mind. i don’t know. sorry for the doom and gloom on the second day. have a good one.

hey there boys and girls. so this is going to be my first posting on theYerg.com. just a heads up now, i am too lazy to hit the shift key at the beginning of every sentence. so this is what you get. before i get too far into this, i have to thank AD for helping me out on setting this up. i guess just because you have your own website doesn’t mean you are computer literate. oh well. and a thanks to jg for the inspiration to do this. or you could say i copied off you. your call. i don’t know who all i am going to tell about this tomorrow, but i wanted to say hey to all the fam and friends up in PA and MD. my sis i on the phone with me right now. hey linds. anyway, there will be more to follow in the coming days. so, stay tuned.
