Sunday mornings in June (2007)…

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to this weeks edition of random posts from the mists of time… or in this case, from June 2007. This week we take on topics ranging from using lawn care skills to make your neighbor look bad, the end of The Sopranos on HBO, and explore one of the many ways worrying about work can lead to ulcers. I think one of the best elements of these Sunday tours through the past is that none of us are really sure what’s going to show up. As much as I enjoy the process of getting all my old posts collected into one place, I think I enjoy the insight into where I’ve been and where I’m going even more. There are definitely some familiar themes that keep showing up. Personally, I’m glad to see that kind of consistency in my thought process from year to year.

As always, I hope you enjoy the trip to 2007 as much as I’ve enjoyed bringing it to you. Don’t forget to stop by the giftshop on your way out to pick up some reading material for the week ahead.

This thing of ours…

Come on, admit it… The first time you saw the Sopranos, you wanted to be Tony. No? Well, maybe it was just me, but I digress…

Tonight’s final episode should be one for the ages. And I’ll admit it, I’m going to miss having Tony around. I like to think of T. as my alter ego… Doing that things that I would do if my main goals in life weren’t to stay out of prison, not to be killed in a shootout, and avoid sodomy. It’s a simple way of looking at life. You’re either part of this thing of ours, a member of the family, or you’re not. You’re either with us, or against us. Have I mentioned that I like things that are black and white like that? No great shocker there, I suppose.

The Sopranos have been Sunday night regulars at my house for a long, long time. Murderous, thieving bastards all, but in the end, I’ll be sorry to see them go. Come on T., whack that fucker Phil and be done with it. At least leave us with the possibility that a movie could be in the works.
