Proof that I wear my official DEVO shirt far too often: there's a hole in it and I've had it since June or July. A very small hole, though. New favorite DEVO song=Mecha-Mania Boy. "Everybody That's the New Way to Roll." Today I went on a bike ride with my uncle and now I'm sore. The bike chain on my vintage Schwinn Breeze broke, so we had to rent one. I like my bike...it's all beat up looking. Oh well. And then I lost my wallet because the people who make ...
…. My 39th Birthday… I got the call on Christmas night, “ Hey Pete, Its David Lamar Burton. I’ve got job for you. It leaves tomorrow morning at 0800 AM. You drive out to Fourchon, LA” “Ok,” I reply as brevity is best, “I’m ready.” “Are you OK? You sound a little hoarse.” I’m fine, just a little cough. Its really nothing.” I assured him.

I was thinking ...
It's been a weird Christmas. As always it starts with great intentions, this year I booked some time off work and was determined to make sure I got some good quality time with my family. Of course fate could not allow this to happen, oh no. So, Christmas Eve I was struck down with the 'flu, courtesy of one of my more 'giving' colleagues at work. Oh boy, flu is nasty, evil and cruel. So instead of staying up and preparing the children for the arrival of Santa I was in bed, feeling miserable and poorly. ...
Aunt...I'm an aunt now. As if bob really wants to rub it in my face you're growing old, missy, old *sinister cackle*. And, on top of me being an aunt, comes the other end of the deal: a nephew. Not just any nephew, MY nephew. And he's cute..wait, the whole affair disgusted me from the start.
