This World Had Just Begun to Live

So captain please consider me
let the boats deliver me
when I close my eyes
drive captain, drive
it’s time

Jets to Brazil put out their last album 6 years ago… and then moved on to greater things. I don’t know what those greater things were… but they probably had a lot to do with raising families and such and whatnot.

Well, it is the end of my third full week living and working here in Toledo. I have basically had to go into work every day, with the exception of the first weekend I was here. Things are good. I slept in past my alarm twice, though. Bad. Don’t like to do that when I should be at work making food for special orders. The NASCAR thing went over nicely, and, up next: Extreme Makeover - Home Edition needs food catered to their Toledo project in the near, near future. Wow. Everybody is pretty jazzed about that one… by which I mean, all of the girls I work with. They all weep when they watch that show. They all want to meet Ty Pennington. I’d like to meet him, too, and hand him my resume and beg him to hire me on to do something-anything.

Sunday. Sunday is a good day to rest.

I made 85 Italian Combos for this guy’s racing team on Sunday. They were flying from Toledo Airport to MIS (The Michigan International Speedway) for a race… then after that, off to Bristol!

It consumed a good 6 hours of my day of rest. Rest. Yes… and then I wound up winding down and taking a ‘nap’ which lasted for 4 hours. Yep. Let it never be said that I am not usually in some kind of transitional/abnormal sleep schedule… hard as I try to be normal and all that.

I need to swim again.

I hope Michael’s team enjoyed their sandwiches. Hand-crafted, each and every bit, by myself… and a couple of other people I got to help me out. Okay, okay, I’ll give credit where credit is due:

Mike - thanks for slicing the tops off of all those peppers.
Amanda - thanks for sticking a bazillion cookies into bags.
Maureen- thanks for giving me the haircut venue tips and for slicing extra turkey butt up.
Kelly - thanks for calling people on the phone because I don’t like phones. And you have a great phone voice.

I’m going to bed.
