The days of my life...

Nevermore...
-Edgar Allan Poe

See, I read too!



Before I go any further, check out the link over there---------------->
This is a pretty fun game. Be sure you have your sound on because the skeleton will talk and he has a smart mouth.

I have been on a quest to visit all the museums in New York City. So far my favorite has been The Museum of Television and Radio. I have a lot of free time right now and I am making the most of every minute. Anyway, the point of all that drab was-I went to MoMA just to wander around. I've been there before but it has been years and the last time I went I was rushed. This time I was able to take my time and enjoy it. Of course with all this quietness I had way too much time to think which isn't always a good thing.
"I must be getting tired because that looks just like Elliot."
I haven't spent time with him in a while and I have missed allegedly flirting with him. I went to get a closer look. It really was him. He was lost in a photograph and I thought for a moment I shouldn't interrupt him since he may want to be alone. Decisions, decisions. I chose to take a chance. "Expanding your horizons, Stabler?" He must've recognized my voice because he didn't even turn around he just made a comment about his temporary partner. I feel bad for him. It must be tough for him trying to break in a new partner.
We finished looking at the exhibit and went for coffee. He said I could get chocolate but that he didn't eat it while he was working. That's weird. I understand not having Irish Coffee on duty, but chocolate? I had a sarcastic comment to make but I bit my tongue. As usual we talked about everything. I told him I would try to call Kathleen. I know he's worried about her and I am too.
He had to get back so we headed out. As we were parting ways he grabbed me around the waist and gave me a big, wet sloppy kiss. It took me a second to process what happened and react. I was torn as to how I should respond. Then I came to my senses and did the only thing I could do. I slapped him. "You big goof!" People were staring and we were laughing. He invited me to visit again and again I said I would. I know I won't go but it's easier than telling the truth.
I just remembered he ate most of my chocolate. Good thing he gave it up while on duty.

Another Email I thought I would share

Just in case you need a laugh:

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a
high school diploma to fix one. Reassurance for those of us who fly
routinely in our jobs.

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a
"gripesheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form,
and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never
let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some
actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas ' pilots (marked with
a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance
engineers.

By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never,
ever, had an accident.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per
minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.

S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last..................

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a
midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Hey, I'm still around. I've just been very busy, or lazy depending on the day. In a few days I will update everyone on all the new and exciting things that have been going on in my life. Hope everyone is well. Let me know what has been going on in your lives.
Oh I talked to Logan the other day. He seems to be feeling better.

I have a new favorite song...

"Uncle Kracker - Memphis Soul Song"

Lookin' back on everything
And all the things that stay
I can count on memories
Cuz they don't go away
Good times were hard to hold
Until she came along
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

I'm not always there I know
But she don't mind at all
As pretty as a picture that hangs on my own wall
She's like Mississippi

When the sun comes up at dawn
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

With an angel on my left side and the devil on my right
She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

She don't care what the game is
She's always down to play
My world without her seems a million miles away
She don't have to worry
I know where I belong
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

I've been dealt some aces
And I've played them all the same
But she's the only one that keeps me in the game
No fame or fortune could ever keep me gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

With an angel on my left side and the devil on my right
She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

[BRIDGE]
There's a magic down in Memphis
That never seems to fade
Even now them voices carry
Like a lonely serenade
It's the memories that still and always will be on my mind
They move me every time

She see's the good in everything there is to see
Sometimes I wonder what she ever see's in me
I'm not always right you know
But she's never led me wrong
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

In all my travels I've never found a way
To find the words that say the things I'd like to say
I've sang some melodies but she's my favorite one
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right

She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song



It is a very pretty song and he has such a beautiful voice.

Haha kidding. Just thought that sounded cooler than saying I'll be away for a few days. Didn't want you to worry about why I wasn't posting.

Have fun, stay safe and see you in a few days.

"If you get caught between the moon and New York City..."

Since Elliot and Amey are both threatening me I decided I better talk about my date.

Date: Saturday 9-30-06
Time: 7:30 PM Eastern
Place: A quaint little Italian restaurant
Planet: Earth

He picked me up, on time which was impressive. Not that anyone I know *cough* wouldn't be on time *cough* or would think I was supposed to meet them instead of them picking me up. *cough* *cough*
He opened the doors for me, pulled my chair out and complimented my dress. "A girl could get used to this kind of treatment." I believe a woman should be treated like the queen she is.
Note to self-Good answer.
I gave him my shy-flirty half grin. He gave me the smile with a wink.
We spent the next three hours catching up on the last ten years. He told me how difficult it was being single again and how much it hurt him when she left. I tried to be understanding but truth is since I've never been in a meaningful relationship for more than a couple of months, I really couldn't relate. I remember thinking I couldn't believe anyone would let this guy go. He is intelligent, attractive, and successful. I also wondered why I didn't marry him when I had the chance. Oh wait, he never asked me, that's why.
The food was wonderful and so was the company. The night seemed to pass by too quickly.
"I had a very nice time. Thank you." I did too and thank you.
We got to the door...he leaned in...Our eyes met...the perfect evening was about to be sealed with a kiss...I had to catch my breath...his lips touched mine...and I felt...NOTHING! No spark, no electricity, nothing. It was like kissing my brother.
I guess he felt, or rather didn't feel, the same thing because I haven't heard from him since that night.

I was reminded today that I needed to let everyone know about my meeting with the old flame. I met up with him Saturday night. I promise I will give details later. Game one of the playoffs is coming on and I have to go watch da boys.

Thought I'd share another email I received:

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their
days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day I went down town and into a shop. I was
only there for about 5 minutes and when I came out there was a cop writing
out a parking ticket. I said to him, "Come on, man, how about giving a
retired person a break"?

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.

I called him a "Nazi."He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having
worn tires.

So I called him a "doughnut eating Gestapo." He finished the second ticket
and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket.
This went on for about 20 minutes.

The more I abused him the more tickets wrote.

Personally, I didn't care. I came down town on the bus and the car that he
was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said "Hillary in
'08."

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important
to my health.
