THE PERFECT DAY--5 JULY

I had an absolutely wonderful day on the 5th---heres how it went.

Slept in until 0730 without having had to get up and go tinkle the previous night.

I Got coffee, and for a few minutes gave thought to where i was two years ago on the 5th of July--crying my eyes out as i said goodbye to my family and headed to Iraq via Ft. Drum, NY.....this Juy the 5th was to be a lot better.

I went and got Mans best friend JOE and we went and played 18 holes of golf. I actually made par on one hole. Joe even said i did good. Pretty good kudos from a 15 yr old teenager.

We went to the greatest Hot dog joint on Earth, NU-WAY. We both had two all the way, a hamburger, and fries, with Medium coke with Flaky Ice. Our meal was magnificent! It made me hunch.

I went home, and took a two hour nap--uninterrupted.

Sue came home and cooked supper--Ravioli.

There was no need to put the moves on my wife and attempt any extra liberties in the budoir, not after having the day I had, so i read some of my book (The History of Beer in America) and drifted off to sleep.

Two years ago I had cried myself to sleep. This time I went to bed grinning like a opossum.

UPDATE ON ALL THINGS FISHER

Since the last chronicle----my lord...where does the time go?

WORK. not much to report there, i still go there, and I still have a job, thank goodness. My Duties on the weekend have sufficiently taken care of any spare time. I aint complaining, and am glad to do it. I also thank my lucky stars i wake up in Macon every day as opposed to Iraq or New Jersey.

--I bought a new car--a 1990 BMW convertible. I know, mid life crisis. But it cost 1500 bucks, which is a lot cheaper than a bass boat. I LOVE it and i listen to the stereo just as loud as it will go--when i drive it I am 18 years old and a High School Senior--woo-hoo!

--Winnie Poops ears that got pierced--well she didn't look out for them as prescribed so they closed back up-she now gets to try it again when she is 13.

--Winnie Poops is currently attending a day camp. she takes her lunch everyday. While the other kids are taking their lunch of a PBJ and some chips, my little Redneck girl, and chip off the old block, has been taking a can of vienna sausage, saltines, and hot sauce. Swear. I will draw the line if i see a can of skoal in the back of her jeans--

--Sue and I bought a treadmill. It looks great in the basement just sitting there idle.......

--ADVENTURES IN TRAVEL. I have had a few trips recently--New Hampshire back in March. It was cold up there, and i almost never made it because of snafus at the Atlanta Airport, which resulted in me sharing a hotel room with one of my buds from work and all we had between us was one pair of drawers and a toothbrush. After making it to New Hampshire, I went to a Hockey game there and was the only person in attendance wearing shorts. I showed those Yankees how we do it in Dixie. We also took the rental car and ventured into Maine to eat Lobster, which is one thing i can check off my list of things to do before i die. the lobster was delicious but I haven't started paying against the principal yet. I also got to go to Illinois (Springfield), where i went and toured the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum--It was awesome. In the gift shop you can actually buy Lincoln Logs. They have to be the real deal, but i didn't buy any, which is something i will regret for the rest of my life. But we were lucky enough to go south for an hour and a half to St. Louis and catch a Cardinals game. Gorgeous ballpark, and the Cards won, no doubt because they knew i was there. I also went to a record store and bought the CD of KISS ALIVE II so i could play it in my mid life crisis car and feel like i am a High School Senior again...
I am hoping for a trip to Chicago for work so i can go to Wrigley, hallowed be its name (If Allah wills it). In yet more traveling, I got to go to the Republic of Georgia (we had soldiers over there helping train the Georgian Army) and stayed for just a week. It is gorgeous country over there and I could go on and on about the WINE--and perhaps i will at a later time. Beautiful Country, and the girls are all dark haired breathtakingly gorgeous, or so i was told. I didn't notice.

-- Our little girl dog Gracie is pregnant. Gracie has papers that says she is a Shi-Tzu, but she doesnt look like it--She looks more pekingese. Too late to give her back now as she already has a place to pee on the floor. I hope she doesn't build a nest in my suitcase, which has yet to be unpacked from my last trip-
