new post...whew hoo been a loooooooong time...i read a post of two years ago just now and have learned of my chickens coming home to roost...whatever that means...i always think every dog...lots of animals coming up here...has its day and karma and all in
it entails...but seems either the patience they speak of is beyond me or i need to expand drastically my karma time line...anyway things are beginning to change..not that they dont always but a little more in the correct direction...baking has been busy but other priorites have been added but im trying to be careful and remenber why im here in the first place...aint my charm or wit and wisdom it is because i get things done..some deeper and more personal items are about to land..although both parties are unreliable and their words usually full of one quarter truths..truth skewed is still a lie in my book and i have chose to as my usual let sleeping dogs lie...every now and then though someone pokes the bear and no one wants to be around when i get too poked...as usual my posts are cryptic and circular but if you happened to be the offending party or parties remember three strikes your out....ran out of animals....heard a movie quote...every fisherman can spot another fisherman from far away...sort of but almost opposite of dont bullshit a bullshitter..we make look dumb but that's just a disguise..cdb quote...i am human..a bit naive a bit cynical and usually allow people to screw me over a time or two before i get too pissed..the last two have been much longer and reasons why are valid sort of in my book..i have patiently waited and my time is near by...to both...KARMA..BAM!

old dave

i have watched in the last few days my boy and his friends and other friends kids and i am amazed at the new social interactions..video games with hookups so they can talk to friends while the play...6 kids here last night each with a laptop or video controls or iphone or some sort of device...do they even know who is in the room with them?..do they ever actually talk face to face with anyone?..the girlfriends also are nearby and put up with this?...can't quite imagine the future business leaders only communicating by texts...but my profession somehow would have to live on luckily but my dinosaur ways will have to adapt...computer baked cakes or ipastries...can i do my job from home?...had a manager tell his staff he was late because he did a lot of his job at home...maybe some paperwork some scheduling and things but they laughed off his bs answer..are the twenty and thirty somethings in for a shock when they have to clean up the bathrooms or scrub a pot because the computer just can't quite get it done...or is there a program they can get?...maybe old dave can clean it...i bought the program a long time ago

what goes around

Full circle and karma and who the heck knows what i am talking about...will begin twice a month my part time job again...back after a year or two hiatus..like riding a bike i guess but i think i would probably crash if i hopped on a bike too quick but..... into the fire i go..hopefully not starting any either...I'm sure ten minutes in i will be...back...such a tentative blog but even taking the job again was an agonizing agonize r....bakery seems to be running well...number one stepping up and two and three getting better and faster daily.....number four staying his same reliable pace(don't push me... don't push me he pleads).....i try to teach them to think how i would think..correct priorities and proper planning...just not as simple as it sounds and when bombarded with last minute craziness the ability to stay focused and plod through...again just isn't as easy as it sounds..when the chaos begins it seems best to go back to the basics and ask some questions..what should we do first..what is most important?.... seems for me personally some extra cash might be my priority ...life has found me some fun lately with a good balance of work pleasure and fatherhood...although the last is still the most trying but better days are coming....karma...full circle and of course what goes around comes around if only i knew what i was talking about

sarcastic conspiracy?

sorry haven't blogged in a bit but something got my goat...whatever that means...i was accused of being sarcastic.....although i usually am.... this time i wasn't...maybe karma reared its beautiful head in reverse.....although the details of my alleged crime are sketchy at best and the accuser never actually talked to me but talked around me to a second and third party..neither could get this person to confront me directly so i could hear their side..having been lied to about details in the past im still wary of my guilt...yes 100 percent i said what was said...guilty on that... but what was inferred was someone else's input...for whatever reason in my life i have been the accused one..maybe too much inappropriate smiling or to quick to have an answer but when im right and know im right LOOK OUT!!!...throw me under the bus.... look out next time I'll be driving it...OK I'm better...a little writing therapy and I'm back..never a good idea to waste time and energy on small people so i move on..promise my next blog will be puppies and sunshine..OK now THAT was sarcasm...

vacation mode

ok maybe spring is in the air...sort of...im done with snow and slush and jackets with hoods...ready to love the sun and warm...still must go in and bake...such a drudgery of an existence..i think my vaca mood started because of Ireland.....maybe the Irish music and Guinness night i just had...room fragranted with love and peace...so thick you could swat it like too long cooked corn beef and cabbag....,it was beautiful...laughing and jokes and music and pretty women...ahhh...this was definitely the beginning...think ill make some irish soda bread...if you email me or the blog i'll send you a recipe or the directions to the music fun and laughing...the love part i cant help im not that kind of doctor but if you go.....love will find you...and YOUR vacation will begin...you never have had to leave to be gone....

recipes and BILLS

i keep getting requests for more recipes...now its not that i dont want to or wont its just that i dont know what all of you like...part of my fun is the variety of things i can make but as much as i love pizza i dont eat it every day and wouldnt presume to think you like exactly what i like...when i was married i was cook usually in the weekdays and im sure the garlic smashed garlics were just too much for the ex...but the sausage,cinnamon and apples was tremendous but certainly not duplicate-able since i really had little idea of what i did to make it...so find a basic recipe and EXPERIMENT...it could go horribly wrong but so what..try it again..or another one...when i was young and single living with roommates the food was a refrigerator leftover concoction with eggs and potatoes and cheese and...whatever..one roommate loved it and asked what i called it...hunh?....i need to name it?...so aBILL came about..never was a BILL the same though...and ive always thought it never should be...now i must beat my bakers daily about consistency but at home...something about consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds...whatever THAT might mean

roller coaster....

life is.......sometimes the ride is going up sometimes down but occasionally we get one of those wild nearly out of control good then bad then terrifying jaunts...teenagers allow us parents to live that ride daily...rarely a peaceful evening or event...but they sure do leave us with some stories...my son screaming at me as i am paying HIS college tuition???....my fault because i had woken him up...it was 2:30 in the afternoon...he told me i had to pay that day for college by credit card online...i said...naa dont think so...he SWORE the ONLY way was if i paid today and online..."college is different then when you went"....i said im guessing they will STILL take cash...he said "no you dont understand...YOU werent there!"so i called admissions and they said see the burser and we love cash...done deal took me a good two minute phone conversation to solve it...my son the iphone and tech expert couldnt seem to figure how to get in touch without doing it online...i think maybe our kids are losing the personal touches and we are lagging in the technological fronts...also another early incident might have given me a clue...as we were driving in i said...the college used to have barracks for classrooms(i swear)...he said ...oh it is totally different now it is really nice...then he says....if they had dorms i would go to school here???...i said...YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL HERE!!!...i dont think he understood...or maybe i didnt...im so confused...or he is...is the ride almost over?...are we there yet?
