George Carlin as died. He was one of my favorite comedians. Sometimes I would hate something he had said in some act and not listen to anything of his for awhile, then something would make me think of him and I would like again. That didn't happen often though.

Have been doing well with drinking less coffee. Now and again I will have a problem, but not often.

Ebay sales have been sort of slow lately. Figure the sagging economy and the fact I don't have anything really exciting to grab people. Will have to retool a few things and maybe even go through my stuff to come up with something new to sell.

The Boston Celtics won a NBA championship for the first time since I was in high school and beat the Los Angeles Clippers, i mean Lakers to do it.

Cyd Charisse has passed away. I liked a couple of movies she was in. Forgot to mention that Bo Diddley, Jim McKay and Yves Saint Laurent passed away recently.

Tim Russert passed away over the weekend. I knew who he was even though I don't tend to watch political shows. Was said he did as young as he was. But things happen for a reason we don't understand sometimes.

Well we got laundry done yesterday morning, then did shopping for supplies and groceries in the afternoon. The first time since I started reducing the amount of coffee I drink I actually felt tired in the afternoon, but I figured do the laundry and the shopping helped me feel tired.

I decided this week to reduce the amount of coffee I drink, as I already mentioned. No one told me to do it, just felt like it was time I did it. So far I feel a little better and I am sleeping a little better. But this is just the beginning of the experiment, who knows how I will feel in say a month or two.

Saw "Iron Man" this afternoon and it was really good. Was not sure I wanted to go because it has Gwenyth Paltrow in it and I dislike her much, but despite her being in it, the movie was quite good. Might even get it on DVD when it comes out later this year.

Had a sever storm warning tonight. There were reports of possible tornadoes or at least funnels. We got a heavy downpour, while it didn't last long we did get over an inch of rain and water was running down the street. Good thing we haven't had a lot of rain lately because it would have made the flash flooding worse. It took awhile for the runoff to stop, now its staying in the ditches.

We had gone out to eat, spur of the moment sort of thing. As we were in the restaurant, the TVs tuned to the local changes, showed the weather reports. I guess who cares if there is a show someone wants to watch. We can now say "I watched the weather report and a TV show broke out", yeah its stupid but who cares. I did get a couple pictures of the storm clouds.

Mowed the backyard on Saturday and glad I did with the rain we got yesterday and the chances for rain we will get. We are in another weird weather cycle. There are parts of the country dealing with flooding and then there are the severe storm warnings locally.

Over the weekend, Mom mentioned she might take Friday off. We could do a few things on Friday, including laundry, to relive the pressure from the weekend. Might even see a movie too, which we haven't done in weeks.

Sergei and his allergies are doing better. His ear had gotten bad enough we thought about going to the vet, but his ear has responded to some home remedies so we may not need to take him in at all.

It's June already. One step closer to the actual start to summer and one step closer to the heat and humidity of a Midwestern summer.

We were going to go to a movie, Mom wants the see Sex and the City so kill me now, but she's not sure if she really wants to.

Sergei is starting to have problems with his ear again. Guess it is like an allergy thing with him. But at least we know what to do for him. He doesn't mind to much having his ear messed with.
