It’s April 1st, which means I have about two weeks to find all my tax return stuff. Additionally, it means that the NYS budget is officially late once again. It also apparently means we’re getting a preview of summer, as it’s supposed to be about 30 degrees warmer by this afternoon than it is now, and into the 80’s tomorrow. In other words, it’s gonna be too damn hot. I guess I’d be happy to see the warm weather come if I could actually walk, but seeing as things seem to be getting worse rather than better in the whole foot department, so I really don’t care.
Normally, I’d be looking forward to the weekend (such as it is), but this is the worst kind of holiday weekend – where you don’t get an extra day off, but are stuck doing “family” related things that screw up your Sunday. In this case, it means sitting around watching my wife get irritated by her parents while my mother-in-law insists I that I eat more (and anything I eat while she’s futzing around in the kitchen – which is pretty much the whole time that we’re eating – doesn’t count), and my father-in-law asks me questions about politics and gets pissed when I don’t agree with him.
Here’s an interesting statistic: by apparently standing for more or less nothing, Barack Obama has managed to have his approval ratings drop more or less equally amongst Liberals, Moderates, and Conservatives. Nice job.
Like Tiger Woods, David Duchovny, and Jesse James, I’m thinking I ought to check myself in to sex rehab. My only question is, can you consider yourself a sex addict if there aren’t really any women willing to have sex with you? And, if you happen to be a rich, famous, good-looking guy that has sex with lots of women, does that make you a sex addict, or just, like, a guy with options?
Oh well, it’s about that time, I guess.
When you get home tonight, eat your supper like it’s your last.
Damn, Thursday already. Almost Friday, and far enough from Monday to forget 90 percent of whatever the F happened. For me, Monday was the first day of a math class I’m taking at a community college. This college is so amazingly forward thinking that it tolerated a booth in the center of its campus that had a picture of President Obama with a Hitler mustache and the word impeach next to him. WTF! How’s that Maron joke go with a retard calling other people retarded? Well, I’m both retarded and crazy, but there’s something a little beyond the pale with that shit. Crazy ‘tards.
A good column from Gail Collins on healthcare.

PJ, as you haven’t mentioned your walking status I hoped it was getting better. Certainly not worse. When is that podiatrists appointment? I really hope you’re feeling better very soon.
Oh, I reckoned if my wife is any indication, everybody’s pretty sick of hearing me complain about my damn foot, so I figured I’d better quit mentioning it. Sadly, no podiatrist until May. The real hassle is gonna be the week I have to spend in DC at the end of April. I was counting on being able to hoof it around, and was actually looking forward to being down there, since I know my way around now (and will be in a hotel, as opposed to a 1960-era cinderblock dorm room and communal bathroom/shower facilities).
Not being a Republican, Ive never been a big fan of the whole public bathroom thing.
We’re always here for you to whine to :nod:
Thank goodness you aren’t a Canadian, PJ. They have to wait to see a specialist.
