Ask and Yee Shall Receive… …photos and a video!
Since you asked…
One of my readers emailed and requested that I post a recent photo of me and a recent video of me dancing. Who am I to deny my teeming hordes of readers such enjoyment (all four of you who read this blog … five if you count my Mom).
Anyway….
The photo over to the right was taken by a very nice guy (whose name I can’t remember) who is a regular at the local “corner bar” I hang out at when I want to have a beer or two and have the extra cash to actually do so.
The name of the bar is Pekers and I even blogged about it in one of my posts: As the Boots Turn…
I really like the bar. I don’t go there a lot now that I’m unemployed. *sigh* However it’s a great bar!
Pekers is one of those local places where you just go in and everybody knows you, at least casually and you can just relax and have a beer, play a video game, and if you’re in the mood, have a conversation or a couple of laughs.
Here are a few more photos, all from the 2013 World Championships (Jan 2013)…

I’m having an Online Garage Sale
My Inner Domestic Diva has gone Crazy!
She has declared war on the legions of dust bunnies inhabiting my living space and has threatened an INTERVENTION!
She said that if I didn’t help her de-clutter the place and get rid of some of the junk that has been taking up space that she was going to call the booking agent for that reality TV show about hoarders and turn my name in!
Since I can’t abide reality TV shows, and she was about to throw her tiara at me… I gave in.
You can see the full gamet of what I’m selling over at Pinterest where I’ve created a board called “My Online Garage Sale” Clever title isn’t it? 🙂
Once there you can click on the photo and that will take you to either Amazon or to eBay where you can then either bid or buy the item of your choice.
To entice you over to the “My Online Garage Sale“, here are a couple of the more fun items…

I’ve been BUZZZEEE!
I’ve crossed a lot off my “To Do” list…
Because I don’t want to spend a lot of time and because the clock is staring at me and because I’ve got to get up tomorrow at 8am whether or not I’m rested and because I’ve got a LONG day ahead of me tomorrow, I’m going to make this quick.
Well, “quick” as in “quick for Tony”
Anyway… first a confession. Over the past two years as my life has slid into the crapper, my humble abode which consists of a small room, a bathroom, a portion of the kitchen and a corner of the dining room have become well, uhmmm… Icky.
Dusty. Dirty. Cluttered. Messy even. I’ve not had friends over to visit because I’m sure they’d shriek “INTERVENTION” and call the booking agent for that show about horders.
Here is a pic of my room, all tidy and neat. — at least one side of it anyway…. 🙂 And don’t try to zoom in, there is dust but I kept the resolution down low so ya can’t see it… so there! Thhhhhppppttttttt!
Anyway, I’ve realized though that something which got messed up over the course of MANY months can’t be fixed in a day or even a week. It is going to take a little each day to get everthing ship shape, dusted, cleaned, organized and toss a lot of stuff I don’t need and don’t use out the door…
Hmmmm… that applies to me and my body as well doesn’t it?!
Wow….deep thoughts late at night. Oh my!
Ok, Off the top of my head here are the things that I’ve accomplished over the past week (in no particular order)
- Installed new blinds in the window of my room — the old ones were grody
- Listed a bunch of stuff for sale on ebay and Amazon, holding kind of an “online garage sale” If you want to take a peek here are some links.
(please check it out… Please buy!!! I need the cash [insert desperate look])

- After a long absence of several months, I’m once again writing on Squidoo:

What’s on the Jenny Craig Menu? And other perplexing conundrums
Questions I get about Jenny Craig
People are curious. That is a good thang.
(Editor’s note: For English speakers outside of the Southern region of the United states… “Thang” is the way in which Southerners, particularly those from the region known as “Texas” pronounce “thing” — We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog post.)
I get a lot questions about “Jenny Craig” So, in the interest of edumacating the general POP-u-lus, …
(Editor’s note: Again the writer is using non-standard English grammar and spelling to emphasis a particular point. In this case by deliberately misusing and misspelling the word educating, and stressing particular syllables through the use of incorrect capitalization and punctuation, the writer displays his expert writing skills, his expansive knowledge of proper grammar, and his mastery of the spell check software feature, thus he cho0ses to pasquinade those who might be colloquially referred to as “grammar snobs.”)
…I’m going to answer some of the more common questions I get from friends and people reading this blog:
“Is the Jenny Craig food any good? How does it taste?”
Well, friends, neighbors, and dearest readers, all 12 of you who actually follow this blog, “Yes, the food is good.” It is real food and it is very very tasty.
Trust me, if the food didn’t taste good then I would not stick with the program. There are even deserts and snacks. My favorites are the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake and the Key-Lime Pie. Both VERY Yummy!
The only “Jenny Craig Food” that I really don’t care for on the Jenny Menu is the soups. The Jenny Craig soups taste very bland to me.
The chilli is good, but the soups–not so much. I buy my soups from the regular grocery store. Read the rest of this entry
