I've always said to Jamie and leaving for work, "I won't say goodbye because I don't believe in that... I believe in, "See you Later". Today ends the saga of living alone for a week while Jamie was gone on the cruise. So today, I won't say goodbye to what I experienced this week, but "See you later". What that means for the future is difficult to know or how long to wait...
Today at work I got a fax from the future. The fax was from myself in the future giving me strong warnings. It was really cool! This does not happen often. When I get these faxes, it even has my own letter-head on them. Today it said something like, "Mike, the candy jar on Tera's desk is poisened! Do not eat from the jar! More details to come later" It was signed by me from me in the future.
Ok, did this really happen? Yes! Was it real? No. But it was really cool... If anyone watches "The Office" on NBC on Thursday's, it was the funniest opening ever as Dwight got the fax from his future self. I suggest everyone to get last year's DVD collection to watch the series, and then dowload this years episodes from Itunes on the internet.
An update on the house.... it is totally clean. I'd like to dedicate the house cleaning to my mother since it is her birthday today! I could not see myself allowing my wife to come home to a filthy, dirty house and know that my mother would have to be defending me that I was not raised that way. So to make Mom's birthday special, I decided to show the true colors of her son.
On a more personal note... I've learned that I am probably more difficult to clean up after than what I knew. Things piled up pretty quickly. So the work Jamie does that goes un-noticed, was really seen this week while she was away. So in the past, when I failed to come home and recogize how hard she worked to clean the house while I was away was really because I never knew it was dirty. Jamie does a fine job of picking up around here and she has earned her way back home :) All dishes are done, laundry done, bed made, fishes fed. It took 14 candles lit for two hours to bring new scents to the house.
Nothing so much to update on the time-line of what happened. It was a pretty normal day and I'd be wasting my effort to write and your effort to read if I list what happened in the last 24 hours. Mostly, my free-time was cleaning the house and getting it ready for home-comming weekend.
My brother has encouredged me to start my own blog or take over this one. I'm not sure what will happen as I've enjoyed taking over Jamie's blog this week. I'll take some serious thought to see if I'll continue in a new blog... my main concern is to make sure I don't get writers block and lose my audience...
So until next time... good-night America... "I'll see you later".

Wheew, Mike, now I can rest easy that Jamie will be coming home to a clean house. I DO think your vacuuming theory of only using 15% of the carpet area is very, intersting! I will have to keep it in mind. Leslie
So how much trouble *are* you in?
If I were Jamie, I'd be insulted by your love for 77 cent TV dinners. I *know* Jamie is a good cook! :)
Jamie, you have my sympathies! Welcome home!
Well, the house was perfect when I got home and Mike seemed to do well! As for the TV dinner thing, for Mike it really isn't about the taste of the tv dinner as much as it's about the cost. He LOVES to find deals out there, and so that really gets him excited when he can eat a whole dinner for $.77. I'm not offended at all, just a little concerned!
Hmmm, where shall I start. Well, first Mike, thanks for celebrating my B'day by cleaning and not making me defend you! Whew! That's a relief. As for "taking over the blog" I guess you could start your own. I rather enjoy Jamie's but yours is hilarious. I vote for you being a "two blog family!" Now for Jamie....wow! I sure hope you remind him of all he wrote about how hard you work to keep the house nice! Nice to be appreciated, huh?
