The Connor Chronicles Volume CXVI

So, what the hell has everyone been up to?  You don’t write, you don’t call……..oh wait, that’s me.  I’m starting to sound like my mother…..only with less F-bombs.

I’m not sure if the whole Obamacare fiasco pisses me off more as an American or as a Technologist.  I can guarantee you that if I was launching a system/service with my name on it (DanCare anyone?) I’d be damn certain it was functional!

As our new mayor prepares to take office here in NYC, I’m just praying that in 4 years I’m not wishing I had the guy from Toronto.  The irony of course is that in a couple of years the guy from Toronto (Ford) will be a squeegee guy at the foot of the 59th street Bridge.

I actually feel bad for anyone traveling for Thanksgiving  I mean the aggravation of the flight delays and cancellations, the traffic especially with the rain and snow…….you have to arrive at your destination absolutely pissed off to no end!  Then you have to endure family that you purposely moved away from!  Stay home….order a pizza!

Well, it is Thanksgiving, and that means it’s time to list the Things I’m Thankful for.

I’m thankful for the absolute train wreck that is Miley Cyrus!  She is disgusting, she is an animal, and she is endlessly entertaining……..memo to Miley….we are laughing at you not with you dear.  There is NOTHING sexy about this girl.  Here is hoping for a run in with Toronto Mayor Ford and a crack fueled evening!

I’m thankful that all of my sports team suck so bad I don’t have to worry about them absolutely crushing me during the playoffs……well played boys…well played.

I’m thankful for Marathon Sunday……it’s always such a great day…….hanging outside Masso (running in every few minutes to fill up the red solo cup), cheering on a bunch of people who are absolutely suffering!  I had 2 runners take my beer this year!  A little side story from Marathon Sunday.  I left Masso about 3pm to head to Donovans.  Jen stayed at Masso and boozed with the crew.  About 8pm Jen txts me that she is heading home.  I get home shortly after.  I go into the basement to find drunk Jen fiddling with a Wii tennis racket.  I say, “hey we should watch something”.  She says “yeah” but keeps fiddling with the racket saying……”this isn’t going on right”.  I say,”well, lets watch something”……she says, “sure” but keeps fiddling with the racket.  Next thing on the screen is her Mii and my Mii playing tennis (note I am not participating).  Drunk Jen is swinging like an angry Williams sister (is there any other kind).  On about her 4th forehand, the top of the racket goes flying………right through our 50” Sony.  I say, “I guess we aint watching something”.  She says “Holy Shit”.  I go to bed.  Which brings me to…..

I’m thankful for the new 60” Sony I’ll be getting.

I’m thankful for live music……..shameless plug time………..like The Flynn’s appearing tonight in The Old Room at Donovan’s!

I’m thankful that you read this.  I truly am.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

As always, until next time, stay safe, later,
Dan
