Time and Turkey

Can you believe Thanksgiving is here and gone and we are now moving on to the Christmas holiday? Where does the time go? I guess this time thing is all relative so thank you Albert for helping us to understand this whole relativity thing.

With that said, there is just not much time to blog. I wish I would blog more often! I am not very articulate and really not a writer so why even bother? I actually do this so little, why even bother some would say.

Many things have been going on the past few months. There is the new job which I absolutely love! It is the greatest job ever and love what I am doing so far. I am on the road quite a bit and have been on some pretty intensive training but everything so far is just awesome.

We have a new addition to our family, Mudgie the cockatiel (formerly Sushi). We have had her for a few months and she is a talker! Here is a sample of he avian vocabulary so far: "Pretty bird", "What ya doing?", "What ya doing Mudgie?", "Scratch your head", "Are you a chicken" ( and then she makes a clucking sound like a chicken), "Peek a boo", "here kitty kitty kitty", and there are other numerous phrases which we can not figure out so far. She also whistles the theme song to the Andy Griffith Show, over and over and over! She is a good bird but a pain in the rear parts. Yes, she is already spoiled!

I hope you had a most excellent turkey day! Me and my wife are trying to eat better so we went with a smaller and lighter holiday dinner than usual. We did have turkey but we also had roasted duck along with roasted red potatoes, steamed asparagus, and some nice dinner rolls. No butter, no gravy, salt was limited, and there was just a little lemon pie for dessert. Actually was really a great, simple meal!

Yes, I did say we are trying to eat better and exercise more. She is doing a better job than me so far! See, I am a food junkie and pretty much addicted to food. I sneak foods when I can, and pretty much just over eat. I am not really big into moving my fat butt around and that makes for a dangerous cocktail of fat around the belly with all of the problems of obesity which go along with all of this. I need to get moving!! NOW!

Will keep the progress of my efforts here, and hopefully a little more often!
