It's time to make the donuts.....

Shit, now I want a donut! Where's the Homer sound byte when you need it? Mmmmmmmm..... donuts................

Anyway, it's just an expression. Friday I head to the airport for my bi-annual (cue the Beavis & Butthead "She said bi" huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu) trip back home to the Philadelphia 'burbs to visit my parents. I usually try to make it back there twice a year. They're both in their 70s and I feel guilty as hell for moving all the way across the country. It's just something I needed to do, for me. This trip isn't really a vacation; I love my parents dearly but it's just not a whole lotta fun. We sit around and watch the grass grow, TV talk shows, etc......... and by day 4 I'm more than ready to go.

This trip is a little more than the usual, b/c I'm going to the Eagles/Green Bay game on Sunday - woooooooooohooooooooooo! A great lady I came to know from the Eagles message board has an extra ticket for me, and for that she has my undying gratitude. She's an attorney in downtown Philly, and a huge Eagles fan like me. It's hard to find hard-core female sports fans, so I learn to appreciate the ones I can find. We met with a bunch of other people from the EMB as we call it (Eagles Message Board) last time I was in town this past Memorial Day weekend, and we all had a great time. In this day and age, it's real easy to meet a lot of cool people on the Internet. Shit, when I was growing up there WAS NO INTERNET, cable TV was just born, no DVD's or MP3. So, anyway, should be a great time. I'm gonna eat cheesesteaks, soft pretzels and hoagies and love every single minute of it. Lucky I work out huh? :op

Anyway, starting Friday I won't be around for a week or so, so you guys have fun and take care of my buddy JP for me while I'm gone, we all know he loves to get himself into trouble ;)
