How appropriate that the last comment on the last blog was for anxiety and depression, the basic hallmarks of this family. Happy birthday bourbon swillin' daughter and I didn't take offense over the picture that you sent from up close and personal at yesterday's Braves game. Continue to enjoy your celebration. Looks like we have lunch covered tomorrow in NT. travel safely home nphw jff, I have missed your "pithy" comments.

I had a great day yesterday and today is just as nice. I got the extra bonus of a "happy birthday" from my answering service -- gram sang to her too, before she figured out it wasn't me!

Anonymous said...

OK so we pick up gramma to take her out to La Marina, which is billed as the best seafood restaurant in Buffalo, she immediately gets in the car and says, who's phone can I use???
So we all look at each other, jenna hands her, her phone, and she says Oh Nuts, I dont have her number, oddly enough Jnna has KDH on speed dial, and gramma is able to complete the call! too funny!

Happy Birthday cuz! I hope you had an awesome day. And take your time recovering from your staff outing at the local mill celebrating your big day.

Cooperstown and the Otesaga Hotel were wonderful and I spent plenty of time on their veranda just like HOF'ers past, I just love that quaint little town.
I didn't enter the museum this year (the fam is heading back this summer), but I did shop at the store and buy Sandra a T-shirt that's too big. Now it's mine, and she keeps on questioning my intentions. How coulld she think that.

I too would question an ERA of zilch... something smells funny comin' out of Austin's Papa. I'm glad to be back.

GO IRONPIGS!!!

Dang, i missed depression and anxiety awareness week!
Where was I, depressed somewhere I quess!

Nphw Jff. Kudos on the hotel. That is supposed to be really nice. Have always wanted to stay there but it is beyond my finances. Always better on someone else's bill. Everyone has such excitement in their lives. Chasing Baby Joe? Could be a Fox reality show. Can't wait to see what Mom has got on tap for today. For 91 the old gal is sharp, using someone else's minutes for her long distance calls. Happy day after birthday daughter of mine and an early best Mother's Day wishes to all of you moms. On behalf of us dads, thanks for doing all of the hard work.

By the way, here it is only Sat. and UG/s pitching staff finally got an ERA for the week. Thank you Troy Percival!!!

Nothing better than enjoying the finer things in life on the company's dime. Nothing better.

Yes, the Otesaga is beautifully old and historic. Sitting on the same porch/veranda and having a cigar watching time pass as Walter Johnson, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, (I could go on and on) have done, really made me appreciate life. Appreciate life on company time, that is.

Just thinking about Jnna chasing down Baby Joe scares me a little.

For the record, Bzl 8228 is BJM license plate number. He drives very erratic. Thanks to gram who put her hands on the wheel so I could snap pictures for the Buffalo News. He made a right turn onto the highway from the left lane! I clocked his speeds up to 60 in a 30.

According to the IRS website, I can begin to look for my check on or about June 27. If I, like some others, had received a tax refund, something that has not happened in a long time, I would have a direct deposit, like nc jnn, by now. I did take pop bottles back, and rounded up enough cash to send nph jff a check. It is just enuf for me since auntie said just give her the cash and instead of the game she would go for a pedicure. saw mom yesterday. she is always so enthusiastic when it comes to a free meal. enjoy the day all

He lives in Tonawanda, and is running for the senate! He does have some skeletons in his closet though, seems he was in quite a few bar fights! but who hasnt been?
KDH, take it easy on your ole aunt today! she's killing me!

A bee in a green jacket???? That is classic.

Just had lunch with the Fixxits, it seems their vacay went very well and they gathered up plenty of souveniers (made in china).

I have to wait until the 4th of July for my GW $... how patriotic.

Talked to Mom last nite and she had a great M-Day weekend, particularly with the strawberry shortcake. Glad to hear the Fixxitts had a good vacay and look forward to the blog of it. Rainy days and mondays always get me down.

The more I thought about it, the Holtz family blog should have a mascot. Any ideas? Who are we nominating to dress up?

A Mascot, now that is an excellant idea! I think it she be Mr fixxitt as a nascar pit crew member, as we are always moving forward, hows that?? Show of hands?
Or a flocked costume??? I love flocking!

Well, I was so supposed to get my economic stimulus check by last week friday and I didn't.
Had a good weekend in Cobourg, Ontario. The hockey themed Stag-n-Doe went over very well as expected. And the bride and groom seemed to take in quite a lot of money.
Try and survive Monday all.
Happy belated Bday KDH

Once again this family is cutting edge. I love the mascot idea but ever since I heard about the trouble in Milwaukee when they wouldn't add a veggie burger in their sausage race, I am afraid that unless we are careful we could become the target of a lawsuit from some"anti-defamation" group. Nphw JT is in charge of the "political correctness" of our mascot. we have to include all elements to make everyone happy. Let's all get to work. Mr. Fixxitt is a good start but with no female NASCAR drivers I see trouble.

My father WAS the leading vote getter at the latest Rice reunion for "family role model", and he does have experience wearing costumes (thanks to mom's experimental 80's). The only problem I foresee could be the enlargement of his ego when he leads us down Main St. in NT at the 4th of July parade. He'd be tough to live with then.

I just might have to take a different direction to work today, How about that 190 incident?

Thanks to Good Gary with the scanner, I felt like I was really on the SWAT team.

At gas at almost $4, luckily I wasn't stranded there or it could have gotten real ugly!

Because WKBW didn't air my show last night, I had to watch it this AM.

UGH.

Anonymous said...

I watched 2 hours and 50 minutes of the 190 standoff, then I decided to get ready for bed. Which of course is when SWAT decided to move in on the crazy guy. Best part of the whole thing was watching the people run in front of the camera on Niagara St.

Anonymous said...

smooth sailing on the 190 this AM, thank goodness for that!
Just way to many nutz out there for my liking!
A holtz mascot is an exceptional idea.. As usual my BB is the voice of reason, sigh, what would we do with out him! Political correctness and all..
enjoy tuesday, all

The only good part of the non-stop "hostage drama" last nite was watching and listening to my beloved wife "go nuts" as it became more and more apparent that DWTS was going to be delayed. Good thing she wasn't on the SWAT team. He would have been toast at 7:55

Unckie, $ arrived and thank you, very kind. Soooo, as it stands 18 (19, sorry forgot gram) tickets are accounted for. Leaving us with 11-13 tickets to go. Time to invite the frends.

The I90 fiasco brought back memories of OJ. I was in St. Lawrence at the time on a fishing trip. Nothing better than eating pizza and drinking beer at night watching a white Bronco run from freedom... at 5 mph down the highway.

Are we forgetting that the IRONPIGS!!! should be our family mascot.

We can play Black Sabbath's Iron Man and just scream out IRONPIG instead.

Jnna, has now become the family headhunter, she will find anyone a new position.
so I am winding down from my current position, my cubicle, a place I have called home for the last 15 years! And I have not been very emotional about it, It is hard to explain, somethings are presented to you in life, and you just have such an inner peace about them, you believe that this is what you are suppose to do. Like meeting the right person, finding a friend, and so on..And this is my feeling about leaving the Deaconess. So yesterday I was very busy, I had projects I had to sign off on, I am training my replacement and I had a meeting, and I repeatedly am getting summoned upstairs to meet with the administrator, now I must explain that I really only respond to a very few select people. Others, can wait. So one person I always jump for is our director of nursing, marianne. So after I had blown off my boss and my other boss, they sent marianne after me, so I came upstairs, and it was a huge party, HUGH, billy fuccillo HUGE. With tons of food, home made food and LaNova Pizza and wings and just tons of stuff! And IT was for me!!! I was absolutely floored! People who I used to work with, old friends, it was just very nice.. Lots of Gifts!
Very overwhelming! It was a lot like AP's retirement party..
So the nursing staff came up and presented me with a card, and the card said, You need a new wardrobe and in the card was 500$ for clothes. Can you believe that. I was very mucy speech less and overwhelmed! So I will definately be better dressed, but I dont know if I can ever have better co workers!
enjoy wed!

I90 update for our out of town family...

A 66 year old well groomed male (that was sarcasm) was beating up his 55 year girlfriend on the I90 and then decided to pull out a gun and point it at his own head for 2.5 hours while SWAT, police, and state troopers held back the southbound and northbound traffic. This was all live on channel 2,4, & 7 with a beautiful sunset and the Niagara River in the background.

RICHARDSON, Texas — A substitute middle school teacher suspected of being drunk in class was too intoxicated to complete a sobriety test and was arrested, authorities said.

Thomas Brownlee, 56, was in a classroom Tuesday with students and another staff member for about 20 minutes, Richardson school district spokesman Tim Clark said. Another teacher suspected Brownlee was drunk and told a campus police officer.

A Dallas police report states that Brownlee "had slurred speech, breath smelling of an alcoholic beverage and bloodshot eyes."

The officer stopped issuing a sobriety test out of concern for Brownlee's safety, according to the report.

Brownlee was charged with public intoxication, police said.

A telephone listing for Brownlee was disconnected.

Clark said students were never alone with Brownlee, and that the district had used him as a substitute teacher before without incident.
