Michael, Monique and Nicole sat down tonight and watched Scooby-Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed. I was going to watch too, but I had some work to do, so I got that done instead.

Sometimes listening to Michael watch a movie is better than watching the movie itself. He’s one of these genuine laughers that belly laughs — when he gets going it’s contagious.

All through the movie Michael was laughing so hard, it brought a smile to my face.

Sometimes it’s the small things in life that make me happy. Well that and lots of money would make me really happy.

Since I got home from Boston, I have been trying to exercise my pinky that was injured during a night out on the town. Still, when I try to reach those notes and stretch it hurts like hell.

The good news is that I can actually move the damn thing — for a while I wasn’t sure what was wrong with it. The swelling has gone down quite a bit, but it’s still black at the tip.

I’m sure with the way things are going that it will be fine in the next few days. I’m looking forward to ripping off some Zakk Wylde riffs again.
