Almost perfect

Well, I am sitting in the Hooters on 59, playing online poker, having a JD, trying to feel normal.

Thanks for all the jokes. You guys are hilarious. Anonymous with the "tell me something that will make me happy and sad at the same time" was my favorite. But you all made me smile.

ESPN 975 The Ticket will resume normal programing on Thursday. Which means I will be back in the cage at 6 a.m. with updates. The Front Page will be back on Sunday.

Matt has power in his place, and Picachu is living large. I lost two guitars and some recording equipment. And my sanity. One of the guitars was a classic that can never be replaced.

But those are just things.

Still no power. Any week now. But I will survive.

The La Marque crew is back online. They have power, Internet, everything.

I have lost pretty much everything. Oh well. Could be worse. I'll start over, make a bunch of cash somewhere and rebuild.

Thanks to everybody who asked, everybody who contributed jokes. It really makes a huge difference to know how many people care what happens to an old, broken down journalist/horseplayer/poker playing dickweed.

I don't know what happens next. But it takes more than a storm, being broke and evil exes to knock Uncle Freddy on his ass.

Much love, my friends.
