Out from the Ashes of Piles of Drama Comes Good News From Last Week

Like the phoenix rising from the ashes or more like my shift key coming unstuck after the beginning of a sentence, here comes a belated set of good news from last week.  I got to say the past week has been kind of crappy to say the least.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those out there and their families.  Lets hope that the drama builders cease being insane and get their heads out of their asses.  Perhaps, we should share with them some of our good news to realized that there are good things going on in the universe. Now after many a long naps comes...

Good News for the week of 12 July 14

• Donna has come back to say that she survived a "Sh*t storm," at work and is still kicking it on the job front.  Also, it looks like September training is going well.  I can't wait to see you out there Rock'n and a Roll'n in the fall.
• Melissa found out that she was going to have 3 kid free days.  I think that means all 3 kids will be gone for 3 days.  Altogether that makes 9 days.  So sometime next week she can tell us how it was.  I actually had a Psycho free week and at first it was okay and silent but I ended up missing the lunatic fairly quickly.
• Maggie got home.  I know the trip she was on and Lewis and Clark would be impressed.  Either way, they made it home safe and that is the important thing.
• Pam and Bo renewed their wedding vows to celebrate their 10th anniversary.  They celebrated more with friends and family in Montgomery and they will be without kid as Mathew will be spending another couple of weeks with the grandparents.
• Donna got a mysterious Pi donation on her fundraising page. 
• Danielle came back from an unplugg for quite a bit to get back in touch with nature at Tunnel Trail Campground.  She slept in an actual tent and bike the Elroy Sparta trail and iced the cake with buying baked goods from genuine Amish people.  It seemed like a good time. 

Well, guys thanks for the good news.  It makes me happy to see it coming up even with all the insanity.  Thanks again and I am sorry for it being so late.  Please keep up the good news and tell your friends.  

Bailed Out of Jail: A Return of the Good News Weekly (15 March 14)

I know it has been awhile since I have asked for and spread the good news.  I will use an excuse that may be used repeatedly.  Locusts and Cicadas!  Actually, I was in the hospital dealing with a respiratory infection.  I really just sit there and get pumped full of antibiotics and rot.  It gets me in a funk and I tend to stop doing things like checking facebook and writing.  I am trying to make a change to that.  Well, I am doing much better.  They let me out of jail after one week and all is good.  Things got even better when my parents came to visit for the week.  It was totally awesome.  I got to show them around a little bit and I took them to Reading Terminal Market.  They had a blast.  In any case here is the good news I promised.

Good News for the Week of 15 March 2014

• Harold has a road trip to Terre Haute this week.  I would love to get on a road trip some time.  It doesn't matter where just a place to go for a while.

It will increase their space to 250% of what they currently have." I am happy that as the technology advances more focus on research and development is happening.  
• Helen is stressing out but she knows that it will pass and it will get warmer.  I hope so.  This arctic vortex thing needs to go home and stay their.  You hear me middle Atlantic region.  I don't want you hanging out with it and its friend the gulf stream are a bad influence.
• Stephanie finished a run.  Not a great run but a run which is great.
• Christina's tulips are blooming to greet the spring and her Lions won their first match of the season 6-0.  We got some bulbs sprouting that here but they are getting confused by the billionth snow storm of the winter.
• Susan took Friday off, let her hair down and went to Emerald Isle for early St. Patrick's day festivities.  I used to live in Emerald Isle, I doubt they are the same place.  In any case, we all have a little Irish in us.  I say an O' painted in front of a Chinese restaurant this weekend.  O'Wang's Dim Sum Bar.  It must be an Irish Chinese fusion place.

•  Donna booked her beach time.

Thanks for all the good news guys.  We all needed all of our little victories.  Thanks to my cousin Pam for the props the shout out.  Even when you think things are going down there is always a little ray of sunshine there.  Sure it is full of dangerous ultraviolet light that will burn you skin but my father in-law makes a great "chemical" free sunscreen that will save us all from melanoma.
