Extended Stay in Paradise! Weeeeee!

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

So yesterday I was informed that my stay here in Valhalla was to be 33 sessions of radiation…not the 30 originally indicated. Somewhere there was a communication breakdown. So here’s what that means:

Since it includes another weekend (as well as another detail I won’t bother explaining), instead of getting home to Vermont on Saturday the 19th, now it’s gonna be Friday the 25th.

Another 6 days away from Cooper, Sadie, and Zenfish. Not even to mention my fancy massage lounger. (Kasey will spend some time down here with me so that’s good)

To unexpectedly extend my lease on where I am staying is another chunk of cash of no small significance. Yikes. It’s a good thing I planted that money tree last April. I wish I had gotten the $100 bill seeds instead of the $20 bill seeds but I didn’t want to be greedy.

6 more days to accomplish nothing.

6 more days of mediocre coffee.

6 more days before I can get on with the next chapter of life.

…sigh…

Well, no point in getting my undies in a bunch. Just gotta shine it on. Shine. It. On.

Shining it on from Boston…with enormous volumes of peace and love.

Namaste,

Rob

Beehive, My Only Beehive and All Those Involved

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

This one goes out to all my peeps at the Beehive, as well as the rest of you Veekers that added to the Box Of Joy.  For those of you that have absolutely no idea of what this post is about, just roll with it.

Beehive – Sung to the tune of Barry Manilow’s “Mandy” with backing music, of course, on ukulele.

Beehive, my only Beehive.

You made me happy when I was bummin.

You’ll never know how much the care package meant to me.

Someday, I’ll come fix your computers.

(big Pete Townshend windmill rock-show finish on the concert uke)

 

Really…everyone who participated can know that the box, and even more so the stuff inside, really lifted my spirits.  May the force be with you.

It’s Finally Not Windy!

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Everyday since I’ve been vacationing here in Boston, its not only been cold, but windy.  Damn windy.  So today guess what?  Not windy.  Still brisk…but just light breeze.  So here’s what I’m gonna do to celebrate the completion of week 4:

I think I’ll go for a walk outside now, the winter sun’s calling my name!
I just can’t stay inside all day, I gotta get out, get me some of those rays!
Everybody’s smiling (sunshine day)
Everybody’s laughing (sunshine day)
Everybody seems so happy today-
It’s a sunshine day!

Now that I’ve got that song stuck in your head…have an excellent sunshine day everyone!
