And the pursuit of happiness. Well at least I thought that’s what it meant to me when I read John Locke who wrote “Life, Liberty, and Property.” Then why the fuck are they “removing” these people from their homes in Louisiana? I saw on the news this morning that some guy, a lawyer who had a S Class Mercedes in his driveway, was being forced to leave his home, mansion. He was irate and said that he would use “Excessive” force if necessary. I believe the words were “I have to be dead in order to leave here.” I can not imagine what it would be like to have this happen to me, then some authority figure come to my place and tell me to just get up and leave what I have been working so hard for. That has to be miserable.

On the brighter side, from Joey:

My aunt and her boyfriend (common law husband) own a beautiful piece of property on the lake (Erie) in Canada. A small town called Leemington, which is almost directly across Lake Erie from Cleveland’s coast. It was absolutely a great weekend. Sun, water, cards, and beer. I relaxed for 3 days on a deck and it felt fantastic. I especially enjoyed being with my family. Chris, Amber, their lovely dog Sydney, and the DLW and I enjoyed Saturday through Monday afternoon doing nothing! Back to work.

Steven and the gang all met up at Der Brau last night. Was a blast hanging out with the gang. Love the selection of brews they carry. Decided not to eat anything as dinner last night was awesome. Dreamy made a great grilled chicken salad with mache greens. Man I am super boring.
