It seems strange that the first month of 2013 has made it to the crapper already.  Not sure if time is flying in spite of or because of all the shit that’s happened in our lives in January, but flying by it is.

There’s a stark difference between Vida Encantada and Resurrection Health Care in the care and fixing of ML.  IL called us every time she farted, burped, or complained, but NM has been dead silent.  No calls, no emails. NADA.  Nice.

Erin left while I was in Santa Fe and Nina ran into Belle, Will & Erin at WalMart and Erin was all over Nina and dragged her to the restroom.  I’m thinking that she is getting tired of bouncing back and forth between homes.  She tells me, in whispers, that she doesn’t want to leave, but last time we picked her up from Dilia, she fought the transfer to us.

Poker, or Texas Hold-Em, last night was interesting.  Curt, our host, called for the no limit night of Texas Hold-Em because he gets a tiny woody playing that game.  While I lost a few buck, I managed to win most of the memorable hands.  I brought $40 and came home with most of that still intact.  Attending was Curt, Joe, Dan, Gregory, and myself.  A couple of the regulars chose not to attend because they felt the game and the no limit nature of betting would remove the friendly feeling of the game.  They were wrong.  The usual banter and insults toward Gregory (a.k.a. Jiminy) were still in place.  All in all, a good evening.

I keep seeing ads for Viking River Cruises and they are striking me as an interesting way to travel.  Not now, but after we get rid of this place I may take Nina on an extended river cruise somewhere.

My sense of days is screwed up.  I know it’s Friday, but I’m feeling Saturday today.  I really hate this feeling.  It shouldn’t matter because we have a 7 day business, but it still sucks.

I think teachers should be allowed to manhandle students when they act up in class. In Alb. they suspended a teacher for physically seating a student that was disrupting the class.  I don’t think hitting should be allowed though, definitely no punching, especially in the face.  Maybe some shaking, but I’ll have to study up on that and get back to you.

Have a great day.
