the grouchy old man thing comes to life

 Old? me? im not old! well ok, i guess Anita and I are set in our ways maby just a little bit.  same tv shows , same routine everyday, we listen to oldies radio every morning till noon, then we watch modern marvels on history channel, and switch to the dog whisperer on discovery, after that i find the old series that 70"s show for her as i duck around the corner and watch 2hrs of sports talk shows on espn. then about 5:30 i rejoin her and we watch king of the hill and the simpsons re-runs till 7pm at which time we switch to fox news and watch the o-rielly factor, after that Anita goes to bed, and i sit here and blog while the discovery or history channel is on, that is our daily routine untill some holliday rolles around, then those channels send everyone home i guess, shove in a dvd and broadcast marathon shows. scify has a twilight marathon on which is fine, we like that and try to guess who the stars are since we see them in their much younger years. discovery channel has a deadliest catch marathon going, history channel had a pawn stars marathon going, my question is what does pawn stars have to do with history? I guess people pawn old stuff i dont know. but we like that show any way but after a while ya have seen em all yet they keep going and going! most of this twilight zone stuff i remember from my youth but their fun to watch for a while! Iv looked its gonna be on untill midnight tomorrow! Dont get us wrong, we love the holidays, july the 4th is my favorite but when they start these tv marathons it breaks our routine, it changes what i cook, when i cook, my sports talk shows arnt on,Anita"s cash cab show aint on. it changes the time we eat, what we eat, and by the time when everything settels back into normal for us theres another holiday comeing, how many weeks is it untill labor day? the last big cookout weekend of the year! well not really for us, iv been known to walk out in the snow to flip the burgers on the grill! Oh well this is my weekend, ill be cooking Brats,Burgers,chickes,ribs their already maranating in the fridg, its gonna be smoking hot outside but iv already got a big pitcher of rasberry lemon aide and sweet tea in the fridge, and if ya were to dig deep ya might find a six pack of mikes hard lemon aid next to the keystone light, hey those are the essentials of cooking out just like charcoal and mesquite wood chips!! A man,his friends, his fire, his red meat, and his beer on a 105 degree day on july the 4th!! waiting on the fireworks show. It dosent get any better than this!!!the sad part is that about 11pm tomorrow it all comes crashing down, the bbq fire is out, everyone is full and sleepy, and leaving, paper plates napkins and leftovers everywhere and tuesday life returns to normal. back to the routine untill the next one rolls around! geeze i love july the 4th!!!!!!! it just comes and goes so quickly! and darn we dropped $180 in wal-mart last nite and i forgot the bbq sauce, the sliced dill pickles,the relish, the sliced cheese, and most of all the corn on the cob, guess that means a last minute rush to the house of mayhem which im not looking forward to! well thats enough, i need my sleep, hard day of cooking tomorrow, everyone have a very happy and safe 4th of july!!!!!
