Peanut Butter Cookies

    Hey, everyone. I hope y'all are doing well. I've been real busy, typing a manuscript for the sequel to KGB Retirement Program. It will still be a couple of weeks before I can get it on Smashwords. It has been a struggle. I still have to edit, make quite a few changes, then submit it for their approval. It is typed, at least.
     Well, it looks like the Packers and Steelers are in the Super Bowl. I hope the Packers win it for the simple reason that they haven't won it in a while. I'm not particularly fond of either team. I really respect the way that Aaron Rogers has kept his mouth shut through all the Bret Favre situation. Seems to be a class guy. It seems funny that I started the season thinking that Bret and the Vikings would win a ring. Now Rogers gets the glory year and Bret is back on his tractor. Just before I wrote this I saw on Google News that Jeff Fisher and the Titans had parted ways. Good coach. I think the Titans have made a mistake. It's a bummer that all the coaching vacancies are filled before Fisher 'gets the gate'. Still, I can't see him being out of work very long.
      I'm hoping to get out and go to a movie this weekend. I'm torn between several choices. Green Hornet, No Strings Attached and The Mechanic. I also wouldn't mind seeing the Vince Vaughn flick, The Dilemma.
     I bet a few of you are old enough to remember Charles Bronson as The Mechanic. Yes, that's right, it's a remake. All you Net-Flix devotees try the original this weekend. When I was pretty young(1972) this movie was considered monstrously cool. Mostly because of the neat ending but also because being a hit-man seemed like a really cool line of work. Are teenage guys hopelessly naive or what? Of course, today I look back... and I still think being a hit-man would be a cool line of work. Ah, maturity!
      I went on you-tube tonight and saw a clip of the new 'buzz' game for I-Pad. Its called Dead Space. I think it's like your character is in a horror movie. It's that realistic and has some creepy music too. My problem is, I can't dig all the blood on this game. (Major drawback to being a Mechanic). I devote a lot of care to stay away from seeing a lot of blood and guts. I don't intend to pay someone $9.99 to see it. The graphics are terrific, on a par with Infinity Blade.
     Guess what I'm eating as I type this? I'm having Cheddar and Sour Creme potato chips, homemade peanut butter cookies and champagne. Weird for the middle of the night, I know. Hey, when you're old, you can do what you please. Goodnight to you, as I enjoy the breakfast of champions.

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Bottle On The Doorknob

      Hey, everyone. I took a day of vacation today and really enjoyed it. We went out and bought some flowers. Flowers don't do well up here as a rule so we buy some and have a couple of big pots of assorted flowers on the deck for the summer. This year we are going to set the pots out in the yard a bit. The reason for this is the moisture and dirt in the pots seems to attract ants, scorpions and perhaps gnats. Bloody drag, what?     This weekend there seemed to be a bad odor in the house in the area of the master bedroom and the master bath. We could not isolate what the problem was. We did a number of things, including pouring vinegar and baking soda down the drains, which boils them out in rather spectacular fashion. Put a handful small amount of baking soda down them first, then pour vinegar down them. Very cool.     We finally deduced that a mouse had crawled up between the floor and sub-floor underneath the jacuzzi, after ...
