i know you've been wondering where i've gone! or been!
I wasn't in jail, or getting a sex change, or getting a sex change in jail.
My wife gave birth last week to a delightful little girl named Mira.
so i've been off, basically running interference between the baby and a very inquisitive french bulldog. because the baby hasn't gotten her shots, we can't let the little guy near her. so i'm basically keeping him busy while wife does that "other" stuff. its been a surreal amazing experience. Being superstitious, we didnt want to tell anyone until the baby was born. I would write more here, but i am literally on 24 hour emergency assistance - when Elena wants something I have to get it, or I get tazed.
As for Mira, she's got her mothers looks, and her fathers dislike for Brian Kilmeade. I turned on fox and friends this morning, and she cried incessantly until i turned it to something less disturbing (Dexter).
my guess is, i'll probably be back to work in the new year, no later.
but possibly sooner -who knows! this is a first time thing for us, so your guess is as good as mine!
thanks for being here in the gutter with me!

Oh here’s some news I’d like to share
While I was gone I kicked a 38 year nicotine habit! It’s been 15 months and I don’t even think about it. At all.
See I hated the smell of cigarettes and the kind of smoker I was, was I’d take out a cigarette. take two hits and I put it out so it wasn’t hard at all. I mean, I’m surprised how easy it was for me being a smoker for that long.
I’ll tell you what though, it took one year to cough up all the crap out of my lungs
I’m not a man who has an OPINION about how MY Tax Dollars are spent on THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR but I play one in my spare time.

I remember watching this DC10 cartwheeling down an Iowa runway, and thanking God I didn't have to fly (for my job) that week :
An airplane lost every flight control at 37,000 feet.
Most pilots believed survival was impossible.
Captain Al Haynes tried to land it anyway.
On July 19, 1989, United Airlines Flight 232, a DC 10 flying from Denver to Chicago, suddenly suffered a catastrophic failure. The aircraft's tail engine exploded, sending shrapnel through the plane.
Within seconds, all three hydraulic systems were destroyed.
That meant the pilots lost control of the rudder, elevators, and ailerons.
The aircraft could no longer properly steer.
It could barely descend.
Aviation experts later said an aircraft in that condition should not have been able to land.
But Captain Al Haynes and his crew refused to give up.
They discovered the only way to control the aircraft was by adjusting the power of the remaining two engines. By increasing thrust on one engine and reducing it on the other, ...
