My 30th High School Reunion

I'm quickly coming up to one of those milestones in life that everyone dreads. My 30th high school reunion. I graduated from Cardinal Newman in West Palm Beach.It took me several months to decide if I would attend. The deciding factor was when I found some old friends on Classmates.com who had posted pictures of themselves and others from my class.

It was then that I discovered that I didn't look half bad. I mean I've been back in the gym for the past year now and have lost some weight and added some muscle. Plus I still have a great head of hair with just a touch of gray. It's very distinguishing. Yea right.

But there are several friends that I'm really looking forward to seeing again. Raul who owned a brown 1975 Cougar that if were still running today would smell like reefer. The cheap Columbian kind that you could buy back then. Not that brain numbing, green sticky shit they sell today.

Then there was Henry. Henry left high school and flew jets off of aircraft carriers and now flies for United Airlines. I'm not sure which is more dangerous. But most of all I want to see how he survived with a name like Henry. My old friend John had a hot looking blue van that would probably smell like Raul's Cougar if it were still around. John was so cool that he lived in his own house down the street from his parents. Can you say debauchery?

My only fear is that these guys have not turned into total asshole and I don't like them anymore, but then they're probably thinking the same thing about me. And according to my wife I am and asshole. I'll have photos in July and I'll post them for everyone to laugh at. Go Crusaders!!!

Bomb Found In London

Explosive experts defused a car bomb packed with petrol, gas and nails on Friday which could have caused huge loss of life in London's busy theatre district and raised fears of a terrorist attack, ...

Wow! Another close one for of friends across the pond. I can only hope that people here in the U.S. are as alert and diligent. This could have been really ugly.

It also goes to show that the nut balls are always a threat and we must do everything we can to protect and defend ourselves.

Fat March With Steve Pfiester

A friend of mine Steve Pfiester has just completed a TV show for ABC called "Fat March". The show debuts in August and I'm not going to say a whole lot about the concept because the fact is I don't know all that much.

What I do know is that a group of 12 over weight people walk over 500 miles to the final destination of Washington DC. They are competing for over 1 million dollars in cash.

Steve and his wife Bonnie are the owners of Longevity Fitness Spa here in Vero Beach Florida, and two nicer people you will never meet.

So this is just a shameless plug for Steve, Bonnie and Longevity here in sleepy little Vero. Look for Fat March with Steve Pfiester coming to ABC this August.

I find it personally difficult to feel any type sympathy for Mike Nifong. What he did was horrible, inexcusable and he got what he deserved, some may even say he didn't get enough. However his actions are not uncommon. I've have seen this type of behavior many times and in cases far more serious than this. I personally know of a young man (18) who was held in jail for 5 months on 1st Degree murder charges, and he was innocent. Not only was he innocent but the Prosecutor new he was innocent and drug his feet reviewing the evidence. So before you rush to judgment of anyone remember we are all innocent until proven guilty! It's a shame that Nifong couldn't remember this basic human right.

It's now being reported by the Boston Globe that Nifong is facing civil lawsuits from the Duke players and families who incurred millions in legal defense fees. They'll win their cases but never see a dime, but that shouldn't surprise anyone, should it?

The Sopranos Is A Big Lie!

I've already made my feeling about the final episode of the Soprano's, but now something even more shocking has come to light. My uncanny skills as a private investigator has brought this horrible fact to the surface.

If you remember in the Final episode, Tony and his family were having dinner at Holsten's in Bloomfield, NJ. You will also remember that Tony ordered onion rings as an appetizer right, wrong he couldn't have ordered onion rings, Holsten's doesn't offer them on their menu.

What other lies and untruths has David Chase perpetrated on this society? I now feel compelled to buy the entire set of DVD's and complete a detailed investigation.

I'll report back later.

Talk About Injustice!!

Court Rules in Favor of Enemy Combatant

RICHMOND, Va. - A divided panel from a conservative federal appeals court harshly rebuked the Bush administration's anti-terrorism strategy Monday, ruling that U.S. residents cannot be locked up indefinitely as "enemy combatants" without being charged.

The three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the government should charge Ali al-Marri, a legal U.S. resident and the only suspected enemy combatant on American soil, or release him from military custody.

Okay so forget for a minute about him rightfully being detained or jailed. Just look at that guys mullet! My God he should be held in prison until he's punished for making us all suffer at the hands of the worst hair cut of all time.

It's important to remember the good times.

I hope I'm not the only one that thinks the ending to the Sapranos was brilliant. I'll admit that I was shocked at first, stunned to see it go black with the sound of a bell ring as a diner door opened. My wife thought I had rolled over on the remote and turned the channel.

But then I thought that's what made it so perfect, so unpredictable, so cool. But that wasn't really the ending. The ending was the last words spoken by AJ. "Like you always say Dad, it's important to remember the good times." And that's exactly what I'll do while I wait for the movie to come out.
