I think I have come up with the solution to this mortgage fallout crisis:
Take the money that congress is bickering over right now, and anyone who is on the verge of foreclosure can go to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (which the gov’t now owns), and get a loan for EXACTLY THE AMOUNT they owe on their mortgage. They will get a reasonable rate, none of this balloon interest crap, and the new mortgage will be aligned to help their finances, this may mean a longer than 30 year loan, but it fixes their housing problem, and they can't get a new mortgage till half of this mortgage is paid off. This also fixes the Bank issues, as they will now have the money they would have lost on the foreclosure. No Fat-Cat corporate types get their grubby paws on the money, and it bails out the citizen while not directly giving them money, rather it is a loan. I know I could live with this, even if it is the idiot’s own damn fault for getting in a mortgage they couldn’t afford on a house they really couldn’t afford in a market that anyone with an ounce of sense should have known would eventually burst.

Very Merry Un-Birthday

Weekend Update (finally)

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:34:04 GMT

Friday's drive down to the beach was relatively easy. Not much Traffic, and we were at the house around 7pm. The boys already there were already drinking, and after dumping my stuff in a room, finding a safe place to park, and eating some dinner, I joined them. We drank at the house till 10, then went barhopping. I have no idea what time I got home, but know it was after 1230. Walking back from the bar, I ran into some other Ruggers, and they kept calling me #6 the entire way. I guess I should say that I had on one of my jerseys, and it had 6 on the back.

Saturday was a hungover first game, that I barely knew What the fuck i was doing in. I did some good Hooking, and won each of our put-ins, but was not really up for all the running. Second game was better, I had some food in me, and was re hydrated. Got tackled, and messed up my right pinky. I've been keeping it splinted to my ring finger, and it is much better, but the last joint is still slightly bent. The youngin's won all three of their games on Saturday, though there was some drama over a 10 year old touch judge that i'll try to write about later.

After the games, one of the guys and I went and grabbed some Mexican and drank some Margarettas. After that, we headed back to the house and chilled, not taking part in the craziness that ensued. Let's just say that things were done that even I think were too Queer. I was woken with someone leaning over me around 4 in the morning. Having gone through my Hubby's Zombie training, the reflexes kicked in and he got a foot to the belly pushing him away.

Sunday the boys were very hung over, and didn't do well in the semifinal game. my car group headed back after that game, so I have no idea if they got 3rd or not. Guess I should check.

It was a fun weekend, but I am too old to keep up with 20somethings when it comes to drinking for an entire weekend.

Summer's almost over & it feels like I didn't do anything

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 13:52:38 GMT

Spent all of July busy with Youth Rugby, and when I didn't have that, there was something else going on.

The Kids did rather well in the end of season tournament. They had a tendency to complain if things were not going their way that the "ref had it out for them", or "they cheated". I guess it is part of growing up in the 'Hood. But after the last game for them in the tournament, I heard one of them actually say that the other team had been better, and that our kids had played the best they could. it was much better than what I was used to hearing after a loss. Hopefully next year we can continue to build from where we started this year.

We had fun at Shoreleave, but we both agreed that unless it is someone we are Dying to see, we'll be passing on Shoreleave. It was ok this year, but it gets so crowded and it's just starting to feel too big to me.

I have a Rugby Tournament out in Delaware next weekend. I just hope my knee can hold out. It's been doing ok at practice, but every once in a while, it'll twinge. I'll post after I get back and let you all know how it went.

we still have to visit some of the people who missed the Luau, so still have may weekends of stuff to do. never seems like we have enough time to do all that we want to do.

Motorcycles and Morons

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:03:48 GMT

Since the weather has been finally cooperating, I have been riding the motorcycle to work most days. This had lead me to fear for my life. I trust my riding skills, and am still here, but some of the drivers of this region have left much to be desired.
First, there was the morning the minivan cut in front of me and slammed on the brakes. Now, I may be smaller than a car, but I still need space to stop in. I had some choice words for that soccermom mobile. But it is still not the worst driver I have encountered.
Next, I'll tell you about the sudden stop I had to do when traffic stopped to admire some car broken down on the side of the road. This required me to jam on the breaks, and I fishtailed twice as I came to a complete stop. Thankfully the car behind me had good brakes. Still, this is not the worst of my encounters with Motorists.
This morning, I had an Idiot tailgating me, TAILGATING A BIKE! I was doing more than the speed limit, but it wasn't enough for this asshole. He then followed me onto the back roads to my office. I pulled over, and he actually flipped me off as he past me. I screamed at him that he was an ass to tailgate a bike. This has got to be the worst thing I have encountered so far on the Motorcycle.

All the crazies on their cell phones, eating, drinking, texting, etc. really don't hold a candle to an ass who tailgates a guy on a bike. I hope there is a special place in the afterlife for him, or he comes back as a bug.
I ask all of you who drive to please be considerate of cycleists, we don't have much protecting us, so be considerate of those of us on two wheels.

belated Birthday and flat tires

Sun, 18 May 2008 11:38:39 GMT

Last night we had a belated birthday for Marctic. It was food and fun at Dave & Busters. On the way out, however we had a small problem. At one of the stops, this guy didn't stop, I had to do a sudden stop, and when I did I must have hit a nail, but we didn't know that it had caused a flat tire at that point. After finding an open space, we discovered the flat tire. Now, I can handle a flat tire, so that really wasn't the problem. the problem was that I had no clue how to get the spare tire down, and no flashlight to see into the hole for the tool to wrench it down. I busied myself with getting the old one off and asked strangers if they had a flashlight each time someone walked by. Finally, the guy parked next to us came up and luckily had a flashlight and was nice enough to help us out. Got the tire down, changed them out and were on our way about a half hour after we got the flat tire.
I have got to get one of those flashlights that you shake to power up for the truck so I am not stuck like this again. But I did learn how to get my spare down.

Now my icon has new meaning

I'm too old for this...

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:54:46 GMT

Last night's practice included some tackling. well, one of the big, young guys tackled me and I ended up wrenching my muscles around my knee. I'll be fine, but didn't sleep much last night as everytime I rolled over, new pain coursed through my leg. Not to mention the nausea that I was dealing with after midnight. I am stying home today to rest the leg, but also stretching it out slowly which seems to be helping.

I can now at least sit up. when I woke up this morning I had to keep it straight or I had sharp pain. Guess no playing this weekend as I will still be recovering. Going to get a knee brace for future games/practice. and I am definitely not going as all out any more in practice.

Rugby again?

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:59:46 GMT

My body has been mostly screaming in protest from the workout last night. I need a good massage.

So, I decided to start playing rugby again to get myself back into shape, and get involved in something that I really enjoyed but dropped due to the lack of desire to drive to DC at least twice a week. I looked at the Baltimore-Chesapeake website a couple of times, but always said next season. Well, I finally decided that it was time to follow through and get back at it.

Last night's practice I fell back into the groove, just like riding a bike. though being the new guy, I have much to learn on how the team does things. The basics are all the same, but Line out calls and play names are different from team to team. Next weekend is a tournament, so will be able to watch lots of Rugby. The old team will be there, and I may end up playing if I can Whore myself out to a team. Will see what happens.

The guys on the team seem nice, and I am sure some of my gay friends will be drooling over some of them. Will know more as time goes on. Hard to make real opinions from only one 2 hour session. Will discuss later. off to get dinner done.

Tooth Extraction and the aftereffects

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:07:23 GMT

Monday morning, I was taken to the dentist by the awesome Melissa. There, I had a tooth pulled. They told me to take a deep breath and lay back. Next thing I knew, they were getting me out of the chair, and it was all over with. Spent the rest of the day sleeping on the couch or watching TV. Not feeling any pain, but the empty hole keeps attracting my tongue. Spent today also sleeping on the couch. Still not at 100%, but gonna do the work thing tomorrow.

Things on my mind about the community

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 22:10:29 GMT

I just posted this on the Charles village community, but wondered if any of you might have suggestions too.

I am now faced with a quandary. It seems the city after saying that the homestead credit did apply to the Surtax has turned around and said it does not. This will mean a HUGE increase in income for the CVCBD, and we could do some real good with it. That being said, it also means that a homeowner's surtax, specially for those who have lived here for a long time, will increase dramatically. Those people who bought within the past 4-5 years will have an increase, but not as dramatically as those who had a low property value before the reassessment.
If the CVCBD does reduce the surtax to keep the homeowners burden down, then the rate must be capped at 5%, and will not really allow us to advance the safety program as I had hoped. So, I would like some feedback on what you would rather have: a strong safety program, or basically nothing but a supplemental sanitation program. In other words, are you willing to have a higher tax and more safety program or a lower tax and no safety program.
