Ok its fall, and the start of the baking and cooking season

Today I have made homemade bluebery waffles for breakfast, and currently am baking homemade Oatmeal Rasin & Date cookies :) .

Later this week, I will be making my infamous Red Wine Poached Pears for a dinner at a friends house.

With the cooler weather, I have been craving lumpy Cream of Wheat with brown sugar....

I like the pic
The Pic makes me think of a Sunflower Growers Association commercial that would say something along the lines of
"Have you had your sunflower seeds today" or "Got Seeds"

The closest Ive gotten to that recently is one morning I woke up and the first thing I thought was "Cinnamon Toast" So I ran to the kitchen and threw some bread in the toaster, grabbed some butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, and had myself a good but naughty breakfast.
I felt like such a little kid that morning, cause I did a happy little butt dance while I ate my cinnamon toast

Growing up in the South I've learned to appreciate fine cookin'. Woo, buddy, I LOVE me some Southern Cookin'. And Pecan Pie is one southern thing I can't live without. AH, it's so good. I'm ::THIS:: tempted to go to my Grandpa's House and pick up a bucket of pecans and make a Pecan Pie. And you've not lived until you've sank your teeth into the red moisture goodness that is Red Velvet cake. *droolllllllls*

Sounds like you and I will have to connect in February on my next planned trip to SF then....

Pecan pie, red velvet cake, and sugar cookies- hmmmmm, droooool.

Feed me, and you can have yur way with with me.:D Remeber the best way to a mans heart is through the stomach. :D
 
Seriously Chip - IM me or something.

I have a rare downtime right now - only working on a 4 DVD backlog.

I was at 50 a few weeks ago.

Thank you mother nature for the bad weather.

I will be in Florida for a meeting later this week for a meeting if Wilma doesn't flatten everything.

I'm seriously considering going to Oslo for a few days in February. Who can beat $214.00 round trip?

We had a nice time driving around Annapolis, but I've been in a wicked funk for the past few weeks with everything that has happened over the last few months. Afraid I wasn't very good company for the Rob. He's making me collard greens and cornbread for dinner. Plan to pop in a movie and make a birchwood fire, which should be nice.

Yes, you should indeed be grateful. When I posted my pic after I get home drunk all I got that could be interpreted as a comment was:

Again wise words. But at the same time these can be used as a crutch that keeps one shackled to a life that dooms one from true happiness.

Despite my lessons learned from years ago, I have failed to learn from them - sad to say. For if I had the times that I have gone through in the last few years may have not happened, or would have been lessened.

If I had only "listened" to my past - I could be much stronger emotionally than I am today. I do believe that if I had role models like yourself (yes, more present day), Lee, or Gary when I was coming out - I might be even stronger than I am today.

All we can hope is that words of support will ring a bell down the road./QUOTE]

OK Chip, and of course, all other dear readers who may, or may not find my dissertation pertinent to their situation. You can be thankful that my comment is brief if not terse.

(1) Face your fears, but do it anyway.
(2) Have faith in your own abilities.
(3) Listen to your 'inner voice'

And should Chip's or other Dear Readers hear that bell down the road, I'd urge them to read words far wiser than any of my random sarcasm. While this 1600's writing deals with the religious, those not following that path, read between the lines. It does contain profound insights.

aka Grey Beard
(who ends his sermon here)

For whom the Bell Tolls
John Donne

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

From "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions" (1623), XVII: Nunc Lento Sonitu Di****, Morieris - "Now, this bell tolling softly for another, says to me: Thou must die."
PERCHANCE he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that he knows not it tolls for him; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that.
The church is Catholic, universal, so are all her actions; all that she does belongs to all.
When she baptizes a child, that action concerns me; for that child is thereby connected to that body which is my head too, and ingrafted into that body whereof I am a member.
And when she buries a man, that action concerns me: all mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God's hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.
As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come, so this bell calls us all; but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness.
There was a contention as far as a suit (in which both piety and dignity, religion and estimation, were mingled), which of the religious orders should ring to prayers first in the morning; and it was determined, that they should ring first that rose earliest.
If we understand aright the dignity of this bell that tolls for our evening prayer, we would be glad to make it ours by rising early, in that application, that it might be ours as well as his, whose indeed it is.
The bell doth toll for him that thinks it doth; and though it intermit again, yet from that minute that this occasion wrought upon him, he is united to God.
Who casts not up his eye to the sun when it rises? but who takes off his eye from a comet when that breaks out? Who bends not his ear to any bell which upon any occasion rings? but who can remove it from that bell which is passing a piece of himself out of this world? No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
Neither can we call this a begging of misery, or a borrowing of misery, as though we were not miserable enough of ourselves, but must fetch in more from the next house, in taking upon us the misery of our neighbours.
Truly it were an excusable covetousness if we did, for affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
No man hath affliction enough that is not matured and ripened by it, and made fit for God by that affliction.
If a man carry treasure in bullion, or in a wedge of gold, and have none coined into current money, his treasure will not defray him as he travels.
Tribulation is treasure in the nature of it, but it is not current money in the use of it, except we get nearer and nearer our home, heaven, by it.
Another man may be sick too, and sick to death, and this affliction may lie in his bowels, as gold in a mine, and be of no use to him; but this bell, that tells me of his affliction, digs out and applies that gold to me: if by this consideration of another's danger I take mine own into contemplation, and so secure myself, by making my recourse to my God, who is our only security.

Haha, You should post a non-drunk one. :p I would hate for anyone to ever see me drunk. As crazy as I am non-drunk, I'd be OVA-Crazy while drunk. And OVA-Crazy in photos is just scary. LoL Post the photo! :p

I had to go find it. I never saw it.

You might have to pull me off of you if I come to Oslo...do you know of a semi-cheap hotel there that is nice?

I know the feeling. Flyi is $39 each way to Chicago and the Cass Hotel on Wabash has rooms for the weekend of November 19th.

With the October 2006 cruise with my sister, I will soon have a Passport. And I was thinking that the super cheap airfares to Iceland, and Europe of a three to four day weekend are not bad values. Or even Chicago and other cities here in the US.

We are soon entering "retail hell" at work with the Holiday season fast approaching. I think I will agree to to work 10 to 12 hours a day for my five days, but demand the two days off for myself.

My plans for the next couple of weeks looks like an over due visit to my sister next Sunday and maybe trying to stop by and capture some sights from the Marine Corp Marathon. Monday is Halloween, and was planning on being in various parts of the city that night - so a mid to late afternoon get together might work. Would probably have to get the cameras back to E Street by closing (6PM).

The following weekend is our companies Holiday Cruise on the Dandy on Saturday. Thought about not going since Bear Invasion is the same weekend. But co-workers are "demanding" that I show up.

I told these co-workers it is their task to run interference with any mention of Teddy (since he was at the last few gatherings) and me not wanting to "rehash" the fact we are no longer together. :eek: Most within the company saw us as a shining example of a long term couple (Gay or Str8). :eek: :eek:

That Sunday will either find me nursing a hangover, or cruising the bazaar at the Bear Invasion hotel market. That Monday, the 7th may work for the Canon camera test shoot out. I will be calling E Street tomorrow to see if I can plans things out. Let me know if there is any lens that you had your heart set on testing out.

Other than that, my main sights are set on the weekend of November 19th. I have to be back to work on the 22nd. There is the Americana Suites (IIRC) near Times Square that are fairly cheap. So we might not have to do a 24 hours in the day of NYC type of trip.

Let me know....
