Tuesday Morning Musings, Happy Friday Edition

Good morning fellow web surfers.

It’s Tuesday, so it’s my Friday. I’ll put in my 9 hours or so and then be free to watch TV and play games until the wee hours of the morning because I get to sleep in. Don’t hate me, if you get to sleep in on the weekend you’ve got one up on me.

Last night was a tired evening chez Wally. I had some Lucky Charms for dinner with a pint of chocolate milk on the side and watched the Blue Jays vs. Rangers game on SportsNet. The good guys jumped out to a huge lead, building it to 11-0 and then when I woke from an unplanned nap it was 11-7 and then the next thing I knew it was 11-10. I actually could see the game slipping away, and I was awfully close to breaking my New Year’s resolution of not throwing anything at the TV during a game this year. But I was saved by a great Vernon Wells catch in centre field and a 7 run 9th inning which lead to an eventual 18-10 win. Adam Lind and Rod “The Bod” Barajas were the heroes, each with 2 home runs while Lind upped the ante by hitting his first big league grand slam and finishing with 8 RBI on the night.

It’s double header day today. The first pitch of game 1 goes at just after 5pm eastern standard with game 2 to follow. It’s been a long time since I watched a double header, I get to see the first pitch of game 1 here at work and then I’ll have to choice to watch a lot more baseball once I get home.

Big hopes for a great day to E-ve at the restaurant. May the customers be happy, easy to please and big tippers.

I copy and pasted a huge file from a website last night before I left work… I’m starting to worry that the original saved copy with additional work has been lost. I have some paper copies somewhere, but they have to be unearthed and re-typed to add it. It’s the biggest word file I’ve ever dealt with coming in at just under 30,000 words.

In a fanboy type move yesterday I added Kevin Smith to the list of MySpace friends. I know that he’s probably not paying attention, but I’m gonna see if I can’t grap his attention somehow. If my math is right, today is day 9 of the try and get @ThatKevinSmith to respond on Twitter watch.

Happy September 1st everyone. I hope that you are enjoying whatever significance it may have to you.

I just got to hear the call for Joe Carter’s World Series Winning home run from 1993. The words “Touch ‘em all Joe, you’ll never hit a bigger home run in your life.” still give me goose bumps more often than not. It was almost 13 years ago that I jumped up and down in the living room after that blast and still I can’t get enough.

I think it’s time to wrap things up. I’ve got other things that I should be doing.

Remember, if you only stop in this one day a week, See you next Tuesday!

Like wham!
