Life and Times of a Married Guy

It's been awhile since I've been here so here goes.............

sitting here watching the Red Sox. Yesterday was a good day...Red Sox won, Bruins won, only bad thing was the Celtics lost.

getting things in order...having a yard sale in a few weeks....who knew that so much crap can grow in 20 years.

time to eat......later

The banner is going to go up on Tuesday night. I can't wait. at least we will have 1 banner this year. The Pats were a huge let down. The Red Sox bats bailed on them and the Bruins are .... well the Bruins. Let hope things get better.

Does anyone really read this?

I know I've been back a few weeks but things have been crazy but here goes.

WHAT A TRIP. 3 days in FLA. It was the most fun we've had in a long time.

Had supper with Jim Rice (former Red Sox outfielder) on Friday night, went to the Mike Lowell event on Sat night and the ball game on Sunday.

Here are some photos we took.........

Hello friends......The only words I can come up with is HOLY SHIT!!!!........

Let me explain why. I work for the local cable comp. and they had a raffle for a trip to FLA. We won. The trip includes:

2 Round trip tickets on Jet Blue
3 days and 2 nights at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa http://coconutpoint.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/

The first night we have a dinner with the folks from NESN (New England Sports Network. They carry the Red Sox and Bruins games and are owned by the people who own the Red Sox)

The 2nd day we have the whole day to do what ever we want. (we plan on a boat tour to see the dolphins and manatees then some swimming)

That night we have a Cocktail reception and dinner and dancing with the Boston Red Sox and the ownership.

Day 3 We're off to the city of Palms Park to see the Red Sox play the Twins.



All expenses paid!

I'll have some photos when we get back.................... GO SOX

I'm back.......... there are some poeple out there who need to get a grip. I read this story today about Wal-Mart having to pull some underware off the shelf because some people didn't like it. Give me a break. It you don't like it... DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!.

I am SOOOOOOOOOO tired of this crap. This world has been come way to up tight. If the parents are doing their job then no matter what your kids are wearing, they should be ok.

Well, seeing as I'm using this as a way to get things off my chest I might as well tell you what is happening.

My father had ANOTHER operation on monday.They were to go in and replace a valve in his heart. The operation was to take about 4 hours. It took 7. You see, as the were going back in they cut the bypass he had 8 months ago so they had to replace that also. I guess my folks were told that this was possible.

Now the good news. He is healing at such a good rate that he may be coming home before Thanksgiving. WOO HOO!!!!!!

More later.

What is everyone complaining about! The only topic I'm hearing on the talk shows and in the papers is how the "evil" Patriots are running up the scores on the other teams in the league. Isn't that what your suppost to do? SCORE!!! Heres a thought, STOP THEM. If your the other team it's your job to stop the Pat's. If you can't, why are you crying about them? Shouldn't you be complaining about how your team sucks and fix that? Sound right to me. A billion dollar business and we're acting like these are 10 year old kids............ GROW UP and grow a sack. It's football not the lawn darts.(remember those?)

This week ..Pats 38 Indy 27

I'm sitting here at work and I'm bord out of my skull........... I have nothing to do......The Red Sox rally is about to start. I have it on my computer but I'm still bord............. 2 hours left in my day ............... it can end soon enough.

Is this not a great time to be a sports fan in New England? The RED SOX win the World Series in 4 games, the PATRIOTS DESTROY the Redskins, the CELTICS look like they could be a true contendor and even the BRUINS are looking good.

The Red Sox took the World Series in 4 straight games after coming back from being down 3 games to 1 against the Indians. Mike Lowel was named the MVP of the Series and it was a wise choice. I only hope the Red Sox will sign him for a few more years. It would be a waste if he went somewhere else.

The Patriots are now 8-0 and getting better. This week they scrapped the filed with the Redskin at the Razor. 52-7. FIFTY FREEKING TWO to SEVEN..........WHOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

The Celtic had the last pre-season game on friday and looked like they are in midseason form.

Hell, even the Bruins are winning some games.

Like I said.......... It's a great time to be a sports fan in New England.

Let me tell you why Myspace bites. I have had 6 different profiles,one for each of my sports teams, one for my wife and I and one just for me to play around with. Well after I've build up quite a following, they go and delete the profile with NO reason why. Ok maybe it was a glitch. So I started over again......build up another following and BOOM they did it again. AGAIN with no reason why and then yesterday they went and deleted the profile my wife and I had....... close to 600 friends, most of which we did correspond with, and poof it's gone........Well that was the last straw and I wend and deleted all our profiles. .I'm done...I'll find some other way to mean people.

Well here we are again.

It's sunday and it's a great day to be in New England at least form a sports fan point of view. The Bruins finlly won their first game of the new season, The Patriots are at home taking on the Browns, the Red Sox are hoping to sweep the Angels in the ALDS and the new look Celtics looked good in their pre season game in Rome. Needless to say the picture in picture will be getting a work out today.

Congrats to Jerry Remy who was voted in as the 1st president of Red Sox Nation. check out my MySpace site myspace.com/redsoxnation_richapter .

Well I'm off to the shower and then heading out to the folks for a bit before the Patriots game.


I'll hopefully be posting laer about a book idea I'm working on....I may need help ......more later

I know I'm late in getting to the update but here goes.............. Things went better than expected. Everyone was nice to one another and it was a pleasant day. Everyone mixed and mingled the whole day. Even Cindy and I had some good conversations. I finaly got to meet her other family members.

We also found out that the wedding plans have changed. The kids were to get married at Disney but from what I've been told, too many people are giving them a hard time soooooooooo they will be getting married here. That good and bad. Good, because I wasn't sure how I'd come up with the money and bad, because I was looking forward to it. Oh well, as long as she's happy that all that counts.

It 7:00 am on saturday morning and my day is going to be interesting. See, my oldest daughter is having an engagement party today and I'll be seeing my ex for the first time in 19 years. This should be interesting seeing that she hates my guts.

It's suppost to be 92 degrees with a lot of humidity and we'll be out doors. Just kill me now. Big fuzzy guy and humidity don't mix well.

I'll let you know how it goes later..that is if I don't get shot there first.

Hello all,

I guess I should at the beginning and tell you a little about me and why I'm doing this.

Well I'm 41 years old and live in Johnston,RI (that's Rhode Island for those who don't know........You know Rhode Island, the 13th state, 50 miles south of Boston.....oh never mind)

Anyway I've been married for over 19 years and have 3 kids. (21,13 and 7) My wife is a wonderful mom and takes care of my needs (well most of them). My oldest is going to college and graduates this year. My 13yr old is autistic and is a challenge. (more on this later)

As far as to how this got started, My wife and I are fans of Felicia Fox. Felicia is a very talented entertainer,nod nod wink wink. We have seen her at a few clubs and Donna fell in lust at first site. At a later date I'll post the story of our 1st meeting. The photo is Donna with Felicia taken at Club Fantisies in Providence. Any who, her husband (I think is offical now)has a entry on this site and I thought it sounded like a good idea.

Gotta run for now, we're heading to Canobie Lake park for the day............................ More later
