This Weekend is Going to be Awesome!
Tomorrow afternoon Lori and I are going to Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead to go a shark dive. Yes, you read this right, we are going on a shark dive. Lori works at Atlantis and is required to go on the dive so she can experience it first hand. She gets to bring one guest and that's me.First we spend some time in a classroom to learn some stuff and then we’ll put on wet suits and get in the shark cage. Then we are submersed for about a 1/2-hour in the 120,000-gallon tank to observe the sharks and other fish in their world. We wear full-face masks with earphones and microphones in them so the instructor, Lori and I can talk about what is going on the whole time. I'm really looking forward to this. A couple of Lori’s co-workers are going to be there to watch us and will be taking some pictures I’m told, so I’ll post pictures of this next week. How cool is that? Click on this link and check it out.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY FUN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!
Last night my son left for the weekend and won't be back home until late Sunday night. So Lori and I will have the place to our selves. Brian is spending the weekend in a cabin somewhere in upstate New York with his girl friend, her sister and her sister’s boyfriend. His girl friend’s-sister's-boy friend's-family (got that?) owns a cabin on a lake up there somewhere. They all get along very well, so I'm sure they will have a good time.
With no chance my son will be home until Sunday, the Official Rules of Nudism are in effect at my house until late Sunday night! WOO FUCKING HOO!!!!!!!!
Have a great weekend y'all!!!

My Poor Mother In Law
As you know, last Thursday was my father in law's funeral. I have a story to tell you of something that happened that day. Pay attention, because some day if you have to arrange a funeral, you need to remember this.
Most of us took our own cars to the cemetery. We followed the hearse and the limo to the gravesite and watched from our cars as they wheeled the casket over and put it into position. Then we watched as the military honor guard (three soldiers in dress blues) position themselves around the casket. My father in law was a US Army veteran.
Then we all got out of our cars and gathered behind the limo waiting for my mother in law to get out. We waited and waited, but she didn't get out. Someone called the funeral director from the funeral home over to the limo. Then he went over and spoke to someone standing near by from the cemetery. That guy got on his cell phone and called someone. None of us had any idea what was going on, but obviously something was wrong.
My brother in law came over to us a minute later and told us they opened the wrong grave. Then a few moments after that, a couple of people from the cemetery pulled up in a car. The funeral director and a few people from the family all gathered together with them to discuss the error and what they were going to do.
They decided that the burial ceremony would be held as planned. The correct grave would be opened as soon as we left and my father in law moved and interred there. My mother in law, her sister, my sisters in law and their cousins would come back when the grave was ready. That would take a couple of hours. First they would visit family graves near by, then Barbara's grave which is in the same cemetery and then go to two other cemeteries close by to visit other family members that are buried there.
After the ceremony, we all walked over to the correct gravesite and visited my father in law's parent’s graves. That was about 100 feet to the east and where the family plot is. My father in law was eventually buried later that day next to them.
After that, most of us drove over to another part of the cemetery to visit my late wife Barbara's grave. That was pretty rough for some. You see, this was the first time my mother in law, one of my sisters in law and my son Brian had visited the grave. It was only my second time there myself. I was there for the first time last month on September 18th, which would have been Barbara's 57th birthday.
They were all very upset, which is expected, but it was especially difficult for my mother in law and my son. I still can't imagine what it is like to bury your daughter and for a child to loose his mother at such a young age, Brian is just 24. Barbara passed away last October 17th. It will be a year ago next week, that she has been gone. Wow, that long already?

Well, hello there...
Hi! Thank you all for to nice comments. I wish I could give each of you a BIG HUG!
Weekend Update
Lori did manage to skip out of work a little early on Friday, which gave us a tad bit of a head start on the weekend and our marathon snuggling session Friday night before dinner. **cough** **1 1/2 hours** **cough** By the time we were done snuggling, it was late, so we both agreed to put off eating the dinner we had planned. It was going to take a while to prepare and sitting down to dinner at 10:00 at night just wasn't what we wanted to do. So instead we hopped down to Wendy's for burgers. (Actually I drove us there in the car, but you get the idea)
Saturday we ate breakfast at the diner and then we did a little shopping. On the way home, we stopped in town for the harvest festival. This was one of the worst festivals they've had in a very long time, e.g., very few vendors, lack of food.
For dinner Saturday night I prepared the dinner I had planned for Friday night. I cooked couple of marinated T-bone steaks with mushrooms and onions, orange cauliflower with real cheese sauce, (not that Campbell's canned stuff I usually use) and baked sweet potatoes. (I really nuked the sweet potatoes, but I guess I can still call them baked) And the steaks were on sale for $4.99 a pound instead of the usual $9.99 a pound. Cool, huh?
Sunday morning Lori asked me to make scrambled eggs for breakfast. I mixed in the leftover mushrooms and onions from the steak dinner and some graded cheddar cheese too. Lori set up the table on the deck and we ate breakfast out there.
By the time we finished breakfast it was 1:00 and time for the Giant’s game. (the Giant’s won BTW, and beat the Redskins) Lori isn’t much of a football fan and decided to clean up the dining room instead. That may not seem like much to you, but it was quite a chore and greatly appreciated by me. You may not know it, but I have this gift for overlooking my clutter, so cleaning up the dining room was a lot of work.
Sunday for dinner I made Baked Chicken and Spinach Stuffing. Saturday we watched the Pillsbury Bake-Off on the Food Network and that was the million dollar winner. It looked so good that Lori asked me to cook it for dinner on Sunday. It was easy to make and excellent.
They recommend bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, but I used boneless and skinless. (BTW, they were on sale too for $2.99 a pound) You put the chicken in a baking dish and spread on a mixture of syrup, peach preserves and Worchester sauce. Put that in a 350F oven for 30 minutes while you prepare the stuffing.
Sauté some onion in butter and then mix in the seasonings and cut up frozen waffles. (I thought using waffles was weird too, but trust me, it’s good) Next pour in some chicken broth. (double what they call for or it will be too dry) Then mix in chopped spinach. Put the mixture in a loaf pan and sprinkle chopped pecans over the top.
When the chicken has baked for 30 minutes, put the stuffing in the oven next to the chicken. Bake for an additional 30 minutes. (the recipe calls for baking for 20 & 20 minutes, but that’s not enough time for the chicken to cook thoroughly)
While that is baking, mix yourself a cocktail of your choice and hang out until dinner is ready. (I prefer gin & tonic myself)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of gin and tonic, Lori and I did a gin and tonic taste test over the weekend. Friday, I went to the liquor store to stock up for the weekend. I saw all these different brands of gin and decided to buy a bunch of different ones so we could decide which brand we liked best. I bought our usual, Burnett’s and a bottle of Bombay, Tanqueray and Beefeater’s. I bought Fleischmann‘s last week and we ruled that brand out when compared to the Burnett’s then. I also bought a few different brands of tonic, both diet and regular.
The winner on the Lori and Tony Taste test was Burnett’s London Dry Gin mixed with Seagram’s Diet Tonic Water! I really was surprised at the results since the Burnett’s is about half the price of the Bombay, Tanqueray and Beefeater’s. I guess price isn’t indicative of what is always the best, huh?

Things are okay.
The wake and funeral for my father-in-law went better than I expected, but there was a problem at the cemetery which I'll tell you about next week. After the grave site ceremony, we all went over to Barbara's grave, which is in the same cemetery. That was really difficult. Not for me because I'd already been there, but this was the first time my mother-in-law and my son Brian saw the grave. That was the worst part for me anyway.
Well, Brian is sleeping at his girl friends house tonight and Lori is coming over very shortly. I bought steak, orange cauliflower, sweet potatoes, three different kinds of diet tonic and four different kinds of gin. We are going to have a tonic and gin taste test. Then after dinner, I expect Lori and I will do A LOT of snuggling. I could really use this after the week I've had.
Well, y'all have a nice weekend and I'll see you next week.
