Where Have I Gone?

This blog has been neglected (as many of you have noticed). I suppose there are three main reasons that I have not been posting.

1. I am busy at work doing actual work and can not even think about blogging not to mention the fact that they block access to the blogspot website.
2. Little H has taken over the home computer M-F doing "home work" so it is near impossible to get any computer time at home.
3. My mind has been focused on adjusting to my new job so I have not had time to come up with witty commentary.

And as someone pointed out, the season has turned and the weather warmed so more and more time is to be spent outside in healthy pursuits. I guess that is 4 reason but who is really counting.

As I type I am sitting in a hotel lobby in Atlantic City N.J. I am watching CNN HN and I just learned that someone in New York purposely put a penny into circulation that is worth a $1000 dollars. It is a rare 1909 penny so watch your change. I guess they think it is fun to throw away a grand.

I flew in to Philly on Monday and drove down here Monday night. I was supposed to return today but a twist in the job made me stay another day. Now you are thinking, extra day in Atlantic City cool! Well if you are a fan of games of chance then I suppose that would be the case but those of you who have been lucky enough to play Yahtzee with me know that I am no fan of games of chance. Now I will put a friendly wager on a sporting event but feeding quarters into a hungry slot machine does nothing for me. So while the crowds are gambling away their retirement money or their next car payment I sit here in the lobby typing.

I may venture back down town later out of shear boredom or I may just stroll up the road to the little Italian restaurant and have another go at the shrimp scampi pizza I enjoyed Monday night. If you have never travelled alone, it can be both stressful and boring. Stressful as you have no one else to help navigate or help with the job at hand and obviously boring as you have no pals with which to hang. Luckily there always seems to be another lad in a similar situation at the local watering hole with which to strike up a conversation.

So there you have it. A new post. Read it slow as I don't know when the next one will come.
