geordieyankeeLet's see...the NFL is back. Was up until almost 4 last night watching the Saints get pulverised by the Colts, 41-10. Still, it was fun to see everything again, all the hitting, passing, Madden, etc. I love proper football too, but there's still an inborn visceral American rush seeing two good teams play American football. Not sure if it's the violence, the strategy, or what, but it has it all. I've missed it. And Madden 08 is a lot better than the 07, which is a good thing.
Had Mr. H visit last week to give me some pointers on how to capture clients. Some good stuff. Gonna revamp some literature and get my talking points down based on our coversation. He also promised me some figures for ROI calculations which should enable me to blag with the best of them. So, nervous as hell about that, but must needs push on, as the tax man looms...
Did yardwork all morning, mowing, weedwhacking, tidying. Lawn looks good! Have to do some more cleaning up and putting things away, but Wifey and the M-I-L are mulching the border today and hopefully setting some onions, garlic, and other assorted bulbs in. Everything looks so lovely. And as Hippy had a bath yesterday, she is smelling good and looking fluffy, which makes me happy.
Had BBQ pizza a week ago when M was over. Was okay, but I did not sufficiently clear the coals from under the stone, so the bottom was a bit burned. Still, I happily munched away, as I thought it was great; reminded me of brick oven work back in the US. I could tell WIfey and M found it different and not terribly to their liking, but I figure they are British and don't know what they are talking about! (Well, Wifey liked it lots, to be fair, and will no doubt indulge me further with my experiments in BBQ pizza despite having to eat semi-carbonized crust until I get it worked out, so she gets an automatic pass!)
Got tickets to the Foo Fighters for November!! Can't wait. Really looking forward to it. Also want to see KT and Bill Bailey, but they are sold out and too expensive, respectively. And Billy Connelly ticket prices are fucking astronomical!
Other than that, things are good. The sun is shining, the birds are twittering, the dog is fluffy, the wife is happy, and I am a content man.
Have a wonderful weekend!
