I'm back

Well I finally found a suitable replacement for my friend Noah. Not the friend part but the secretary part. She's not as much fun as Noah, but when in a pinch you go with what you can get. She ( being Mom) would probably be a lot faster at this but it's been many years and too long nails!
Here is brief synopsis of what has been going on in the last 8 months. Of course you know that Noah moved up to Connecticut. He is doing well, a couple of months ago he had he knee replaced...of course I thought it should have been his brain...I mean really who wants to live in snow!! As a going away present Noah bought me my new TV and boy do I love it! I was saving up for it and instead of the TV I was able to get my receiver and a really cool blu ray player all sonys ( just the best). Noah and I video conference with each other every Monday and we've both come to the conclusion we lead really dull lives. We have a contest...who does the least and we are neck in neck.
Dad is still bowling ( if that's what you want to call it). Dad built a new entertainment unit for the family room to fit my old HD TV. It nice giving them all my leftovers. What really motivated Dad to get it done was the prospect of seeing the Tampa Bay Rays in the World series...but the Rays didn't do their part! So Dad will have to enjoy Football and golf instead, although he still watches the Rays too! Dad's business has picked up and it keeps him semi-busy. And that means he is out of Mom's hair for a little bit each day.
Mom's bowling has actually improved! My goal for her this year was to get her average up to 170 or better and amazingly so far she's done it. I don't want to say too much about this because I don't want to jinx her. Other than that she is still making her own birthday/christmas cards and other occasions as needed. They are really good, I think they are better than hallmark.
I know you all are wondering about me...well as usual I don't have a whole lot to say. I basically watch tv and tinker around on my computer and generally drive Mom and Dad nuts! All's fair in love and war!!!!
I guess that's all for now...will be back next week with another chapter in the exciting life and times of Justin Sokolowski. Everybody have a good week. Drop me a line...I read them but responding quickly is not my strong point!
