I know!! Tio Where are you!!!! are you lost or going through recession? whats going on!? Come back! Lovee tu princesita

Awwww, they love me, they really love me.


So after having a great birthday, an easy Friday at work, a restful Saturday, and a relaxing Sunday I go to sleep but my stomach is bugging me. I wake up Monday morning, get up, shower, I think I got dressed but I am not too sure, just kiddin' I did get dressed, went to work, stomach still bugging me, there's more traffic than usual so the drive feels longer for some reason, I get to work on time power up my computer, actually start working and then it happens, I feel a tornado in my stomach and I have to run to the restroom (If you are faint of heart do not read the following), no I didn't have the runs, to me it's even worse, yep I puked my brains out, I didn't know the proper protocol for puking at work but I figured what the heck if my stomach is not asking me for permission to puke, I won't ask either, so I let it rip.

After an hour of work, including time spent in restroom I went home and was in bed for the next 36 hours. It must have been a stomach flu or something similar the good news are that today I am back at work and even though I don't feel 100% yet, I feel good enough to be here and actually be productive and blog a little while I'm at it.

I could have blogged from home a little but our computer once again decided to give us a hard time. When my son in law rebooted the whole thing after it got some nasty viruses that didn't even let us use it, the machine worked just fine but it did let us know that the Windows program in it was on a trial basis, should we decide to buy we needed to cough up some serious money, so if you are guessing we didn't purchase it, then you are right. So now we have to find a good Samaritan to install Windows in our computer for free.

I will do my best to catch up with my visits and my comments and I want to also take this opportunity to thank the many of you that came in a wished me a happy birthday. Thank you all so very much, turning 49 is that much easier when you know you are loved and it is heart felt.

Anyway, on to other news. Did you know that tonight is the premier of "Knight Rider"? Two things excite me about this show: 1)I used to love and wouldn't miss the original show, and 2) This is an improvement from the original already as the producer wised up and used a MUSTANG to play KITT. He, he, he, I even amaze myself but as I have said before I am a simple man and simple things like this amuse me.

But just to let you into my brain just for a little bit, let me show you graphically what I mean.


OK, I must admit back in the 80s this was cool, I do not want to take anything away from a Mr. Feeny sounding GM Trans Am, I, like millions of other kids and grown ups too used to go ga ga over a talking car, hey it was better than a talking horse.

But now look at what an improvement, this is KITT on steroids, OK on multi vitamins and protein shakes, I do not want to relay a message that I approve of steroids. Now dare to tell me this is not the most awesome talking car you have ever seen.



What 20 years ago was fiction is now pretty much a reality, take for instance the millions of talking navigation system in cars now, or a Lexus that parallel parks itself, or Ford cars equipped with radios you control by talking to them, no fiction just pure reality. I can just imagine me talking to one of those radios, it would go something like this:

Me: Toca Vicente Fernandez, Las Llaves De Mi Alma
My car's radio: English please.
Me: Play Vicente Fernandez, Las Llaves De MI Alma
My car's radio: It will be my pleasure master.

Ahhh, thank God I am bilingual.

Isn't technology wonderful?

Oh POBRESITO:( I think you did catch some kind of stomach virus. A lot of people are getting sick. Not to mention that the change of weather affects our body in funny ways. Drink lots of fluids and continue resting as much as you can. No te vaya a dar una recaida.

And about your cars...

You are funny. I'm rolling on the floor laughing. You come up with the craziest thoughts.

I had not seen the new KITT. I always liked the 80's version but this one looks pretty cool too.

Technology is amazing. I can't hardly keep up with it.

I can just imagine your song instructions and they would be exactly what you described.

elena - Loco y todo pero ah como me quires.

chely - Yep, one of those one-two day viruses that come and go.
Hell no, no recaida, no recaida.
Now a Mustang as KITT and Val Kilmer as the voice, wow! No more Mr. Fenney.

You think my impresion of me talking to a voice controled radio is funny, you should hear me fight with the darn FedEx automated systems. Thank God I am bilingual.
