Well I had some paid time off to burn or else I would lose it. That would have been a sin as it is rather quiet now at work....before the expected oncoming storm, so it gives me a chance to clear my mind and prepare for it. You think I would rest and relax but NOOOOO!!! As I am lying in my bed Sunday night I look at the walls and ceiling of my Royal Bedroom and they reminded me of what a Royal Dungeon should look like. Grungy! So on Monday I raided what was left of my depleted Royal Treasury...well what do you expect the treasury to be just past Christmas, and bought some supplies. I went to Home Depot and bought some paint and accessories to make the Royal Bedroom look royal again. To make it fit for a King again, so to speak. I did a bit of trim work Monday afternoon so I could blast it with the roller today. Well it has turned out to be a royal pain in the ass. Too much taping, too much covering, too much moving crap around and too much paint not doing what I want it to do. I must have forgotten how much I actually hated painting but it came back to me in a sudden rush as I commenced my project.
After a bit of work, finishing the trim for what I wanted to get done today, I reached a point where I had to stop and take a break before I could continue. So I went out and got my newspaper to read and went to Bill Gray's for lunch, you know for personal reasons that I would never go to Burger King, for a couple of burgers which I assimilated quickly as they were very tasty. You cannot go wrong with a Bill Gray's burger unless you do not have a coupon. If you don't have a coupon a stop at the local bank for a quick withdrawal would be a good idea. They may be the world's best cheeseburgers but they are also the world's most expensive cheeseburgers but I digress.
I then went back to work and finished about 80% of the project leaving the balance for tomorrow which I dread as it involves moving my bed. That will pretty much suck as I may as well make my appointment with my Chiropractor right now. This is your King, awaiting his expected bad back with impunity, wishing you a pleasant evening.
PS: The Governor of Pennsylvania is an idiot because the NFL did the right thing in moving the game to Tuesday. Besides giving us something to watch on a usually crappy night of television what a mess it would have been with 70,000 fans trying to get home through the blizzard at midnight. I would rather be a nice, warm and safe wuss than a cold, trapped in a snowbank, football fan trying to get home. I wonder if Governor Moron had tickets to the game. If he did not he should keep his big yap shut as fan safety is paramount.

1. You are absolutely correct that no real king should eat Burger King.
2. Your painting story gave me the chills. There is no project to be more dreaded or avaoided than a painting project. It is always Viet Nam. You shouldn't go in. Then you can't get out.
3. Finally, on Rendell. It isn't clear to me that the game should have been played as scheduled, but I do think we are a nation of wussies.
In regards to:
1) That is why I have taken the time to become a whiz in the Kitchen. This King deserves better than Burger Rot...I mean King.
2) It was a battle but it ended up in a victory for your King. It took a little guerrilla warfare but I eventually rooted out all of the offending yukky spots in my bedroom.
3) Better safe than sorry.
