I'm getting a bit nauseous from the time machine myself. But I'll try to catch up.

I was having a hard time with this date, because somewhere in that general timeframe, my life was falling apart. But after some review, I decided that was an OK date. If I look for something interesting, it would probably be the following.

Early in the year (winter of '92), the ex and I tried to pretend everything was good, and we took a trip to Bermuda. While there, we rode around on one of those rental scooter motorbikes, which was a lot of fun. As a result, when we got back home, I was given the green-light to learn to ride a motorcycle. By the end of the summer, as I was turning 30, I passed the skills test on this, my first motorcycle (from my Cars & Bikes catalog):

I decided that waiting till I was 30 to get a bike was a good idea, as I probably would've killed myself as a young adult. The other thing that was going on around that date, was that the ex was unknowingly pregnant with our younger daughter. That lack of awareness certainly contributed to the 3-month premature birth the following March.

This was before everything went to shit. I started my (now 42 year) job at the end of June, and was living in an apartment in Burlington, Mass. The ex had moved up from Jersey and was living with me. We were leading a pretty good, young unmarried couple life. We had a good group of friends, and I had more friends at work. I was driving my new, little sporty Mercedes 190E, and she got a Dodge Colt.

That New Year's eve, the cops showed-up at the apartment, because we were cranking U2's New Year's Day on the stereo with friends. Both of my parents were still around.

I actually have some pretty good diary-style notes from 1992. About a year prior, my roommate started the Mancester NH chapter of Guardian Angels safety patrol (Curtis Sliwa/red berets). At this point ...

... and my son just woke up. I'll have to finish this later.

I get a kick out of hitting up the generator daily but it's your thread and it seems like others agree so I will comply.

It's been 8 days since my last random day post.

Here is our new one:

I was 1 month into my PS apartment at this time and about 4.5 months away from starting the greatest relationship of my life with the coolest, prettiest girl ever.

An uneventful day. It was a Monday. I worked from home. Had some work meetings (I had them in my iPhone calendar so my wife knew when I was busy. When I was in a meeting my son would take care of her needs. She required a caregiver 24/7 by this time. A nurse came by to visit her in the evening.

On that day - which was a Monday - I drove into the office for work. At that time, I was doing something that required me to come in about once a week.

On the Sunday - June 5th - we met our friends up in Kennebunkport, probably for the last time. The guy was a childhood friend of mine from NJ. He went to college in D.C. and then moved to Philly. He met his wife there, and worked for her family business. They loved dogs; particularly Corgis. Twice a year, they would drive up to Kennebunkport (just north of me), and stay at the dog-friendly Colony hotel, right on the water. We reconnected on Facebook, and started meeting with them on their biannual trips. Sometimes, they'd stay with us on the Friday before the weekend.

While he had a troubled childhood, and was psychologically a mess, his wife seemed to do well dealing with him, so he'd mostly act socially "normal". They first had two older corgis when we started meeting them. One died, and then the other. They got a new corgi puppy, and on one visit, it attacked our puppy Tali. That was the beginning of the end of our relationship, because they couldn't be in our house anymore. We would go up to their hotel and visit them.

On June 5, 2022, we met them at the Colony hotel, and went to dinner at the highly-regarded The Lost Fire Patagonian Grill in Cape Porpoise (above KBPT center). There, the guy got into this obstinate mood, was arguing with the wife, and somewhat berated the waitstaff. That was another big step toward ending our relationship.

On June 6, 2022 in DRC history, I was about to win WAI #596

Without naming names or places, can you go into any more detail about why the contractor was so memorable as the worst?

Yea fuck that guy and his entire family lineage. I don't care about public fights or being a dick to waiters (which is totally a way to see if someone is a good person or not).....that fucking rabid mutt should have been put down and that couple should have spent a few months in jail after allowing their disgusting beast to act aggressively towards DRC's official Administrator of Happiness, Tali.

The eagles have Reggie White Lurie on staff (named after Reggie White, obviously, and our owner Jeffrey Lurie). His official title is the Director of Joy.

Reggie's position is listed above Jeffrey's own son Julian, who as you can is is one step below him. Hahahaha.

Stop bragging. Some of us are still doing our best to catch our nemesis No Winner.

That is a crazy story though. I forget it from WAI but I recently watched a video on it and it was awesome.

Not much. The work was reasonable, but he seemed to think that he could (in my opinion) take advantage of the owner and charge them for a lot of things that weren’t reasonable. It took a lot of extra work for me and the owner to fight him off. In the end, it cost him a couple hundred thousand dollars.

So here's the deal. As I mentioned, this childhood friend of mine (who dropped off my radar partway into my college years) had deep psycho issues. And it seemed like he looked for the unwavering companionship of pets to comfort him. So when he saw our new puppy, Tali, he was giving her lots of love. And Mrs. Scotch warned him about doing that in front of their new corgi, but he was like "Nah, it's fine". And then their dog takes a bite at Tali, not once but twice. The second time, he cut the end of her nose. And after that happened, the couple wasn't really acting in the way they should've, or controlling their dog properly. Mrs. Scotch thinks that incident is the cause of the fear Tali has around some new dogs.

Anyway, Tali's official full name is Talia Sunshine on High Pine. Just so you know.

I've been instructed to keep my new random dates to no more than 2 per week.

It has been 8 days so I've been patient, which is very unlike me. After this the next one will likely be in 3 or 4 days.
