"Things go hazy"

It's been a busy time. Last Wednesday I was in Cincinnati. Thursday we moved into our new house and acquired a couple of dogs for the weekend. Friday I was in Warsaw, Indiana (just as far as Cincinnati) and today I was an 90 miles from Indy again. Meanwhile Rogers has been busy unpacking the house, working, watching dogs, and a bunch of other things. Unfortunately, it's only Monday and we're both exhausted.

At least we have our bed to sleep in again!

"A little ditty"

A few things I did today:

• Played canasta with my grandparent rosenbergs and lost
• Ate Subway
• Listened to a Woodlawn sermon
• Watched "Righteous Kill" starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro
• Did a little work
• Compared tourney brackets with my grandfather martin and was winning
• Realized that I should have just filled out my bracket by ranking this year; would've hurt some in the first round, but made up a bit in the second
• Walked around AU hanging up condo signs for my sister
• Tweeted once
• Blogged once
• Vanilla Coke Zeroed once
• Shaved once

"Perfect shadows alive"

My Grandpa Harold Charles Rosenberg turned 88 last week and Lisa asked my grandparents if they remembered the depression. I've often heard them tell of President Hoover promising soup in every pot, while everyone was too poor to own a pot in the first place.

This time my Grandma Verna Elizabeth Rosenberg recalled it being so cold in their house one winter that the water in her brother's gold fish bowl froze. I asked if the fish was alive when it thawed ala Austin Powers or Demolition Man...apparently that phenomenon is reserved for action heroes and men of mystery.

-----------------------
It feels like a time for change. If all goes as planned, we'll complete the move we began last June 14 within the month. We hope to close on a new house in Fishers, Indiana on Tuesday. It'll be a nice place to live for awhile. Hopefully to raise a couple of kids too. There's a neighborhood playground and a basketball court and tennis court in an adjoining neighborhood we could quickly walk to.

For friend's favorites: A Qdoba is within two miles, a Donato's within one mile. It's one of a thousand houses in the middle of suburbia. A quaint little cul-de-sac that is one gorilla goal short of a good basketball game...hopefully we can fix that soon. I'm looking forward to settling in with Rogers and Gracie. It will be a good spring.

I made some technological upgrades last weekend by joining Twitter. There are many times that I have a thought for my blog, but don't end up logging on and posting. So I decided Twitter might be a better approach for consistent updates. I'm afraid I may have lost my Web counter...I'll look into recovering that, but for the record, I believe I was at 7,900+ hits. And I'll add my links back in as well.

Now I guess I'll need to look into Skype this summer, especially so I can keep in touch with Deardorff in Romania.

Is 2009 almost 25% over? Spring is approaching. God bless the return of Spring!

"If we get bored it won't be a problem"

It's a good day when:

• You hear Tal Bachman's She's So High on the radio twice on the way home from work
• South Park's 13th Season Premier is on again when you're flipping channels
• You get to celebrate your grandfather's 88th birthday
• You live in a house with your parents, and they are gone on vacation
• You hear your two year old nephew pronounce Un-cle An-dy when you see him instead of the Un-Candy he'd been saying just two weeks ago
• You set your goals for the year at work
• Your grandma gives you three pairs of pants that she's been patching or sewing for you
• You get to see Mickey Mouse go ape on South Park
• You go to bed, knowing tomorrow is...Friday

"Try the streets at night"

There's about fifteen minutes left of Die Hard. Only the second time I've seen it...I might have to go for the other three movies sometime soon, since I haven't seem them at all. Bruce Willis movies I enjoy: 12 Monkeys, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Die Hard.

Yesterday I watched Troy Murphy hit 7 of 8 three pointers in the first half of the Pacer game, including 4 in a row. It's been enjoyable watching the Pacers as they rebuild this year. It had been several years since I had gone to games, and now that they're starting over, it's fun to get behind them.

Well the whole roof blew up and it looks like the final showdown is about to happen so that's all I got tonight.

Currently listening to: A Fine Frenzy
Last movie watched (before Die Hard): The Prestige

"A platinum blonde life"

Updates are hard to come by in 2009, and this one will likely be short, as it's time for a nap. Perhaps due to Daylight Savings or perhaps due to taking a short early evening nap or perhaps because I stayed up until 4 a.m. (post-daylight savings change) watching the Prestige last night, I just don't feel completely tired yet.

But the week will be busy, so rest is needed.

I feel optimistic. I know longer own a house in Michigan. I feel as though I was Borat with the giant man sitting on my face and now the guy is gone, and I can run around celebrating. What a feeling of freedom.

That being said, Rogers and I left the house and locked the door for the last time on Friday afternoon. It was a sad feeling. We loved our first house and had a blast there for a year. We made some good memories and enjoyed our time in Detroit and in that house. But with the closing of the door on 1501 Annabelle in Ferndale, new doors will open in Indiana.

In the meantime, I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and had the interesting opportunity to attend Haylie Duff's 24th birthday party thanks to great friend and co-better man when I got married, Ricky.

Dumb things that I need to do in 2009:

• Get no ringtones
• Figure out how to update Facebook and Blog through Twitter

This post is all over the place...like Felder since he's landed his new job...Florida, Wilbe's house, Vegas airport, California.
