Your Mom and I saw “Once” at the PAC last night. Spending quality time with your mom — priceless.
A belated Happy Birthday to Granddaughter Danielle. Her birthday was earlier this week. She was the first grandchild. I can always remember her year of birth, 1985, because it coincides with the year my job change forced our family to move to Appleton. 30 years ago! Really?
Grasshopper No.5 works for Gamestop which is very profitable (lots of cash flow). Gamestop sometimes becomes victim of financial gurus predicting that the Gamestop stores will become obsolete and Gamestop will suffer the same fate as Blockbuster. Hold on! It appears the major customers of Gamestop are young, aimless males in their teens and 20’s who like to browse new games and “trade” old games. Some of the young males don’t even talk, they just grunt. Also Gamestop is growing fast on mobile applications. Me thinks Gamestop has a good business model.
The Super Bowl phenomenon produces all kinds of demeaning sh–. I see that animals are picking the winner. Dolphins push a certain colored ball, Pandas chew colored flowers and chickens pick pebbles. The latest is alligators jump out of the water and swallow a blue or green chicken. Oops, cancel the chickens picking a winner. They were eaten by the alligator.
My friendly City inspector sent me an offical letter notifying me that I was violating a city ordinance. If I didn’t get this dispicable matter cleared up, the “black mark” would remain on my property records forever. If I ever tried to sell the house, the violation would have to be fixed before the house could be sold. What you ask “did I do”? When I had a new furnace installed two years ago, I didn’t have a final city inspection certifying that everything was done correctly. Two years ago? The whole thing almost sounds like a skam.
Super Bowl Sunday! Finally.
Ground Hog Day on Monday. Finally.
Love,
Dad
