Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerrated
.comI should probably be arrested for blog abandonment, but I have a good excuse. I've just been really, really busy lately. Sounds familiar, eh? Anyway, here is a quick update of all that is going on in Flounder's world right now:
- We have bought a house in RI, and we are closing on it Dec. 4th. It's a fixer-upper, but we got an awesome deal and it will be a freaking palace when I'm done with it. (Many pics to come) It's right around the corner from one of our closest friends and my BBQ buddy Morgan. We are all geeked up for the move!
- We have been steady working on our house to get it ready for sale. There is a 30-yard dumpster behind the house that will be filled with roof shingles and a bunch of crap from inside the house by next Monday. Thank God that I have some awesome friends that are handy and willing to help me get it ready. More on this later…
- My Uncle Gene died today from cancer. I didn't really know him very well and haven't seen him since my grandmother's funeral almost 15 years ago. He was my father's older brother, so dad is taking it kind of hard. It's always tough hearing your father cry over the phone.
- Last Thursday, we did a dinner celebrating Senior BBQ Month at the West Warwick Senior Center and fed over 200 people. (And by we, I mean Morgan did all the work and me and Alex shared the credit.) I am writing an article about it to go in a monthly BBQ magazine in December, so I'll post an excerpt here when it is complete.
- Jake is huge. He went to the Doc this week and his is 30" long and 24lbs. Did I mention that he is 7 months old? I'll be posting more pics soon.
- I don't know exactly what happened to all of my favorite teams, but I think that it is safe to say it's going to be a long winter. Florida State is 4-4 and just lost to Maryland. Freaking Maryland? The Jets lost yesterday, but have been surprisingly entertaining to watch. And my beloved Flyers? They are the worst team in the NHL, they fired their coach, and their GM "retired". For a huge sports fan like me, this is all very depressing.
- I was sick all last week, and I am still fighting this damn cold off. It might be time to get to the doctor.
- If you had boxer Trevor Berbick, pitcher Joe Niekro and Celtics legend Red Auerbach as the trifecta in this week's sports dead pool, congratulations, you win!
That is all for now. I will update again later.

Busy boy. I know you're really sitting around in your undershirt, scratching inappropriate places and releasing various gases from your body.
Ditto what Brooke said. On the other hand ...
Busy? Tell me about it. The movers come Thursday. My last work day is Friday. Saturday I fly to Toronto then drive to New Brunswick. Still haven't bought anything down there yet.
Sorry for your Dad. Been there, done that. Not a good place to be.
Sports? One word - Oilers!!!!!
I'm hoping for a very good year. But we'll see.

PK - Well, there's always the Sixers! Well, maybe not.
KJ - I'm feeling pretty good this morning, but I know that it's still in my system. I think that the worst is behind me now.
Brooke - I wish I was doing just that, but my wife is working me like a rented mule.
Bill - Did I read that right? You are driving somewhere?

By the way, despite my weekend of sadness back home, I want you to know that I ate almost nothing but subs the whole time. It eased the pain a bit.
Leigh - I'm right as rain now, though there is a chance that I can fall off my roof this weekend.
Egan - It's way too much work right now, especially with a 7-month old at home.
E - J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!
Brooke - I am always amazed at the healing power of salted, cured meats, aged cheese and good Italian bread.

I can't freakin' believe that Jake is 7 months old. It seems like just yesterday that you were working on the nursery.

(i come to you via BV. I love how you are always so upbeat and complimentary to her. She is adorable and intelligent and she just doesnt know it.)
Greta - Thanks, but we have a lot of work to do.
Mac - I can't believe it sometimes myself. He'll be walking soon!
~(tilde) - Mackenzie is awesome! She's my little buddy.
mbgb - How old is your dog, in Jake years?
Egan - I'm still alive, but I am getting closer to the edge every minute.
