Good morning! Nice day. Costume party this evening, party tomorrow night and football on Sunday. Whoo Hooo!

2:03pm
Are you wearing a costume?  Oh, sorry about the Yankees.  Welcome to the back bench watching the play-offs!  Who are we supposed to root for now? 

3:03pm Phil
Yup, Going as a sports fan! Yankees let me down.

3:15pm
Quiet afternoon? 

3:49pm Phil
Not bad actually

3:59pm
I don’t know if it’s the holiday weekend Friday thing, or maybe the work nutties are over, but it is quiet here at last.  We just had a food order delivered by mistake, so we’re tucking into quesadillas, chips, salsa and hummus for free!

4:09pm Phil
That’s always a good thing.  We have a free pig roast going on in a couple. looking forward to that as well. Then beers with the bigwigs. Tomorrow’s neighborhood party. Going to be a lot of happy people tomorrow. People bring food and it’s always amazing stuff. Going to be fun.  Fancy ball next weekend.  Black Tie affair with the Gary Sinese band playing and Bob Costa as the guest speaker. Also free! Tickets are going for $300 for the public.  Another great deal! Another formal dance is the night before, also a black tie event. Busy busy!

4:15pm
Holy cow!  You get to do the coolest stuff!

4:16pm Phil
I try.

4:16pm
I’m going to a party for a cat tonight.  He was chosen to be a in calendar for a shelter, so his owner invited us over for drinks to get his autograph on the calendar. 
It’s supposed to be in the 80’s this weekend… trying to figure out how to get to the beach at some point. 

4:23pm Phil
Indian Summer here too.  Taking max advantage. Going to a car show this evening.  These are cars built of cardboard and duct tape. They have to seat at least one person and all have to be fully painted. Should be fun.

The chop house was the best meal I have had in Illinois. Unbelievable. Everything was perfect.  Even had $3 Stella Artois. My steak was perfect, the potatoes unreal and the perpercorn sauce finger licking good. My plate looked like the cat licked it clean. Huge salad. Key Lime pie for dessert!

4:32pm
ooh… that sounds delicious! 
Did you see that iHeartRadio is posting every song you listen to on your FB wall? 
Didn’t know if you wanted that or not…

7:22pm Phil
Don’t care

The Lady Is A Tramp

The Lady Is A Tramp

written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart for the 1937 musical Babes in Arms
sung by Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga

She gets too hungry for dinner at eight (I’m starving)

She loves the theater but she never comes late
I never bother with people that I hate
That’s why this chick is a tramp (hahaha)

She doesn’t like crap games with barons and earls
Won’t go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
And I definitely won’t dish our dirt with the rest of those girls (thank you!)
That’s why the lady is a tramp!

I love the free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
Oh, I’m so broke
It’s oke!
I hate California, it’s crowded and damp
That’s why the lady is a tramp (I’m a tramp!)

Sometimes I go to Coney Island
Oh, the beach is divine
And I love the yankees
Jeter is just fine
I follow Rodgers and Hart
She sings every line
That’s why the lady is a tramp

I love the prize fight
That isn’t a fake (no fakes)
And I love to rowboat with you and your wife in Central Park Lake
She goes to the opera and stays wide awake (yes, I do)
That’s why this lady is a tramp

She likes the green (green) grass (grass) under her shoes
What can I lose?
‘Cause I got no dough! Oh, no?
I’m all alone when I’m blowing my nails
That’s why the lady is a tramp!

Go!
I love your free, fresh,
I love your handkerchief in my hair
Life without care (polkadot!)
But I’m so broke
That’s oke!
Hates California, it’s cold and it’s damp
That’s why the lady is a tramp!
That’s why this lady is a tramp!
That’s why the lady is a tramp!

Just got my flu shot.  For free!  Whee!

5:58pm
Maybe time to hop on the Brewers train?

6:11pm Phil
Oh hush.

8:22pm
Hanging out at sis’s new place for her “Empty House Open House.”  People streaming in to see “before” they start renovating.  Her pal brought an “edible arrangement” so I’m full of fruit!  You watching football?

11:02pm
Had a late supper with gal pal at Greek Corner – she is such a hoot! Hope you had a relaxing evening.  Sleep well, sweet man.
