The Great Supression

Yep, two weeks and no bloggin'. It's official: I suck at this.

Well, I suck at the keeping up part. But you have to give me this much: I've had a helluva excuse this week.

For those of you that don't know, I work for a hedge fund. Yes, one of THOSE companies that people are suddenly blaming for the collapse of our economy.

I got news for you: my company and it's activities are the least of your worries. If you want to lay your blame in a better place, try:

1. All those people who got themselves into about 10 times more house than they could afford, then went belly-up on the mortgage;

2. All those mortgage lenders who handed out subprime mortgages like they were candy at Halloween;

3. The current government who turned a blind eye to everything;

4. The f*cking d*ckwad *sshole MORON that we've been forced to call president for the past eight years.

Alas, I digress. Unless you live under a rock, you'll know that anyone who works for any finance-related firm has had a helluva week. That includes me, kids. I'm exhausted.

And worried. We should ALL be worried. Those storm clouds that have been on the horizon for the past year are finally here... we're just going to have to sit tight and see if it's a severe thunderstorm or a Category 5 hurricane. I just pray that we don't see a true-to-form depression... but it could happen, folks. It could.

Okay, onto happier sh*t.

Our addition (I know... could monetary timing have been any worse to start this lil' project?) is going really, really well. Expensive, but really, really well. Our contractor and his guys have been a delight to work with, and nearly everything has been according to plan. The sheet-rocking is almost complete, which means they'll start finish-work next week... tile, trim and the like. If it comes out half as beautiful as I think it might I'll be pleased as punch.

Last weekend, I helped host an adhoc birthday party for Jess by having people attend my ComedySportz show in NYC. It was a lot of fun, and I think everyone had a good time. I just love - LOVE - to make people laugh. Especially people I consider more like family than friends.

Likewise, our show is hosting a visiting team of players from Philly tomorrow night. They're great folks, and I can't wait to perform with them. Come down if you need a big laugh!

So, Bill and I leave for Croatia and Slovenia a week from today. I literally can't wait. Not only will it be great to just get away for a week, but it's to an exotic, relatively unheard of place. A lot of people are wondering why we chose Croatia as our vacation spot this year. The answer? 'Cuz it looks like this:

Now ya get it? :)

Have a great weekend everyone. Tschuss!
