Well, at least it's Friday!

It's been a rough week again. I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I was supposed to be heading out on my father and I's annual camping trip to the Quetico on monday. Fly home saturday, pack up, then drive up the the BWCA on monday, get in the canoe and head into Quetico on Tuesday. 10 days of solitude and fishing. No permanent structures are allowed, no motors, and strict limits on how many people can enter the area each day. It's heaven if you love sleeping in a tent and fishing. And trying to avoid even laying eyes on another human being.
But alas, the trip is off. My Dad came down with a very nasty infection in his hand on tuesday. He spent a couple days in the hospital on IV antibiotics, surgery, the works. It was starting to spread up his arm, heading for his heart. He's fine and the infection is receding, but the trip is off. There's no way he'd be ready to go by Tuesday. There are 1000 ways to get an infection up there, and we're 2-3 days away from medical care. Not worth the risk, so we're just doing to have to postpone it.
So instead of getting a nice 2-week break from this hell I call work, I'll be here suffering. It'll be like Dante in Clerks. "I'm not even supposed to BE here today!" For 2 weeks.
And it continues to rain rain rain here. I'll be in Chicago from saturday to tuesday so I'll be missing baseball anyway, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's rained out. The fields must be soaked from all the rain we're getting, and it's not going to be sunny and windy out. There's just no chance for the fields to dry out. It's cloudy and drizzly every day. Too much rain is better than not enough rain, but this is getting comical.

Pizza Boycott
Hayley didn't seem to get this concept, so let me see if others can. I love pizza. I love Chicago-style pizza more than anything else in the world. I can't get it out here, though. So whenever I go back home, I have to stock up on good pizza to hold me over til the next trip. Now then, I'm sure we've all experienced the phenomenon of your craving of something going up the longer you've gone between having it. So if I havne't had any pizza in like 2 weeks, the next pizza I eat is going to be awesome. Just based on the simple fact that I was craving it so much. So if I simultaneously build up a craving from not having pizza, then travel back to my pizza mecca, what do you think will happen? Exactly!! That first slice of good chicag0-style pizza is going to seem like the greatest pizza I've ever eaten! Which is my plan. I've been doing my damnest to avoid eating any pizza for 2 weeks now. It's been rough, yes, but it'll all be worth it on saturday when I get home. Hit up Tony V's for a slice of cheese and a jumbo fries. My blood with thicken and I'll take a year off of my life, but it'll be awesome.
Everyone get it? Good.
That's it! I'm outta' here! Enjoy your weekend folks! Drink lots of beer and watch lots of Anime. And once in awhile shake your fist at the sky and yell "Damn you, Jack!!" He'll appreciate it.
PEACE!!!
