Friday Morning Musings - Time To Travel Edition

Good morning bat-friends.

Today's the day that I sit at work and count down the hours and minutes until it's time to go and catch my ride to Ottawa.

Good times are ahead on a show string budget.  And one of my shoe laces is broken.

Work will distract me.  A good day is upon us.  I can feel it.

If you're not on Twitter yet btw, get on it... lots going on.

I'm currently listening to a bunch of songs that I've been missing from the 90's.  The last few years of the decade really were dominated by female artists.  It's fantastic to go back and listen to.

Jake's bday is so close I can taste the cake.  Send your best wishes with me.

Much love to a friend whose dad is in recovery mode from a heart attack.  Our bigger wishes and prayers are with the family while he gets better.

I'll try and use someone's laptop to update while I'm away.

Have a great weekend, even if you have to work Monday when I'm still off :)

Peace and love and such.

Like wham.

Thursday Morning Musings - I Love Coffee Edition

Good morning kids.

I hope that you're all well.

Isn't it great to be almost done a short week at work?  And you know what's even better?  I have a short week coming up again!

The countdown is super short now until Ottawa for Jake's bday.  I'm jazzed.

The countdown is even shorter for NFL football which kicks off tonight.  That's exciting.  Very exciting.

I'm also hoping that I made good picks, because winning some of the money in the office pool would be sweet.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love coffee?  I should, I love it!

I also love beer, but not at the same time.

And bacon, but bacon goes with everything.

Thumbs down to the Blue Jays for sucking hardcore last night against the Rangers.  Not a good game of baseball from the hometown 9.

Thumbs up to less than 1 month before NHL regular season puck drop.  Excite!

I hafta get back to it friends, but have a great day.

Also, I'm taking New Orleans over the Vikings tonight.

Like wham.

Tuesday Morning Musings - Where Does The Time Go Edition

Hey y'all.

I hope that your week started well yesterday and that today has been a good day as well.

Happy birthday to Mommy Z today and Step-dad Z yesterday.

I know it's still early to judge the day as a whole.  But after 2 cups of coffee and a small sense of relief/ accomplishment at the office I think today is lined up to be a winner.

Right now I'm rocking some internet Country radio courtesy of iTunes and I like it.  Judge all you like.  It won't change anything.

The countdown is now on until the next trip to Ottawa to see Jake and Romeo and the gang.  And, I'm pleased to report that I have booked an extra day off for the weekend.  So that's awesome.

If you're in the Ottawa area and want to hang out on the weekend of the 12th let me know here on or Twitter.

I need more Batman books.  I know I've said that a lot.  But I think it's time to sacrifice some other purchases so that I can make that happen.

Alright, there's a lot going on in the office and on my desktop right now, so I should get to it.

I hope that you all have a rocking day!

Until I speak to you again, be good to one another.

And as always, if you're only here this one day a week, see you next Tuesday.

Like wham.

Friday Morning Musings - Holy Weekend Batman!

Hey there Bat-friends.

I hope that you're all well and rocking your Friday.

This week has passed quickly... don't get me wrong, some moments have dragged, but holy cow, it's Friday already.

Work has been great, mostly because I've been listening to podcasts (Bill Simmons @espn.com & all of the smodcast.com network) and music (grooveshark.com) every day. It's been fantastic.

It's almost fantasy hockey time, and today the goal is to come up with a great name for my team before I start putting together my draft board.

I'm going to surprise some people this year.  Look for updates.

Time to get some work done.  Hit me on Twitter (@wallyzblogger) with your fantasy sleeper picks... penalty minutes and shots count as points for me... so keep that in mind.

Have a great weekend kids.  Rock out hard.

Like wham.

Monday Morning Musings - Back To Work Edition

Hey all, Happy Monday.

I hope that everyone had a great weekend.

E-ve looks great in the pictures from her friend's bachelorette party. Take my word for it.

Thankfully there are no pictures of me from the double bachelor parties that I was at back home. Not that there was anything scandalous going on... but after a lot of beer I just don't look good in photos.

Big ups to the cheap beer prices back home. My goodness it is so much cheaper to party there than it is in Toronto.

Thumbs down to the Blue Jays who weren't able to take any momentum from a 16-2 drubbing of the Red Sox on Friday night... they friggin' lost Saturday and Sunday.

Back in the office this morning. Coffee is my friends as per usual.

I should get back to the grind...

Hockey season is only a month and a half away. That's the happy thought of the day. Run with it.

Have a great day kids.

I'll be back soon.

Like wham.

Friday Morning Musings - It's Here Edition

Hey y'all.

I hope that you've all managed to get here safely.

Here's hoping that Wing Night went well for E-ve and her co-workers last night.

The weekend is so close I can taste it. In fact, I can almost taste the beer that is going to be downed back home this weekend at 2 separate bachelor parties.

That's going to be a gong show.

Scary moment last night as Anthony Calvio of the Montreal Alouettes was carted off the field and taken to the hospital after falling hard.

Big ups to everyone who has stopped back in and given me another chance. I know that I was away for a long time.

If you're on Twitter lemme know you're handle so that I can give you a follow.

We are now less than 50 days away from the start of the NHL regular season. How great is that?

That's my happy thought for the day.

Stay well my friends. Be awesome like I know you all are.

Have a great weekend.

Like wham.

Thursday Morning Musings - So Close Edition

Hey all.

I hope that Thursday has started well for all of you.

I was rocking out a little to hard at my desk and got a friendly ICQ (that's right we use ICQ in the office) message to get me to stop tapping my feet so loud.

I'll call that a good start to the day.

Also a good start was the free Subway breakfast that I picked up on my way to the office.

Thumbs down to the Blue Jays bullpen after losing 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th inning yesterday in Oakland. Especially after we scored 3 runs to tie the game in the top half of the inning.

Positive thoughts and wishes to all of you and the ones that you care about most. And the same to the ones that I care about most. You know who you are.

I'm in my "get rest and prepare" phase before what could be a legendary Saturday night back home. yikes.

K kids, I've got to get back to it.

Have a great day and keep rocking!
