About Me

Hi there. I am Gig and this is all about me...mostly. I am 41 years old. (my birthday is Aug 21 if you care) I am about 5'10" and about 210 lbs. (I know I need to lose weight but my willpower is pretty much non-existent.) I have a lovely wife, who I refer to as "The Evil One." She isn't evil, although she is the One. I have 2 lovely children. You can find them in my top 8 here. You should add them because they are pretty cool, for money vacuums anyway. We live in the thriving megalopolis of Battle Creek. It's halfway between Detroit and Chicago.I work for CN railroad. It's not a bad job really. I generally ride trains between Battle Creek and either Chicago, Port Huron or Detroit. I like that it affords me quite a bit of time to read. The downside of it is that I'm pretty much on call 24/7. This tends to put a crimp on trying to make any kinds of plans. The easiest way for me to know when I'm going to have to work is to make plans that require me to be home.

Thoughts for today

I am kinda happy that I get to work days this week. As you may or may not know, I work for the railroad. I am generally on call 24/7, but for this week I get to have a semi-normal life. I think I'll b...

Random thoughts for the day

I'm really glad to have the day off today. I'm praying that the rain might hold off long enough to get the bike out. I really hope my son gets a job soon. Me + tequila = Me - clothes = nothing anyone...

And so it begins

Well, I always say I want to be a writer, so I better start somewhere. I'm siting here today with a pounding headache. I think it must be because it seems like it's been raining all fucking month. If ...
