Bowling = I suck

Tonight was bowling night for me. Boy, do I suck! I have been doing so poorly lately that my average has dropped about 3 pins in the last couple of weeks. This is awful and has to stop. I think I only bowled a 406 tonight- very poor. My dad must be regretting joinin our last place team since we never win!

I went to see Anick tonight. I have been doing well this week so far. I have lost about a pound or two, mostly because I haven't been a hog and I have been hitting the gym. But I was bad tonight because I had a Tony's pizza for supper and I didn't go to the gym because I had bowling and the nutritionist appointment. Like I have said before, two steps forward, one step back!

We have gotten some more snow. There are a couple of big storms rolling in. Only a couple of inches so far, but the roads are very icy since it was so warm the past couple of days. I am sure I wll be using the snowblower tomorrow morning. There is a storm a-brewin' outside now.

I heard this story on the news this morning where this woman hired a contractor to do some work in their house. When he tore out the wall he found $182,000 in bills from the 1930's. They said it would be worth over $500,000 today. The contractor claims that he should get to keep it because of the "finders, keepers" principle. I think that is total bullshit. The homeowners actually offered to give him 10% in the first place, but he thought he had the right to it all. He said they would never have found it if it wasn't for him. I don't care, I don't think he has any claim on it whatsoever. When they bought the house, they got everything that came with it. If he happened to find something when doing contracted work for them, he has no right to it (unless it was specifically laid out in his contract that he could). He should have taken the generous 10% and been happy for it. I am sure he will sue and it will be tied up in court and no one will get the money for a long time. And they will have to waste money paying for lawyers and everything. People will sue for anything these days, and that is just sad. He has no claim on it whatsoever, in my opinion.
