Boredom & schmaltz

greetings to all and sundry who still tune in to uppie's adventures inside his own brain... uppie's view of his reality bears no resemblance what so ever to that reality... however in his own words....

hi all... it's been a busy last couple of weeks, as my Canadian friends sleep, snug and mostly alone in their beds, i will recount for you the tedium of my existence... it is a dark and stormy night here the wind howls around the house and rain squalls wash across the roof intermittently... the last couple of weekends have been spent in Auckland, which is about two and a half hours away by car, watching one of my daughters play age group net ball against the best teams in the country.... they have been getting thrashed mostly so this has been sort of a slow torture.. with hours of boring driving on either side of the afore mentioned event... however big girls in very short skirts has been of some recompense...

the last week i spent in Rotorua, which is the cultural capital of New Zealand and a must stop on the tourist trail.... i was attending the annual congress of the Dairy Workers Union.. this is where all the site delegates get together for a bit of rest and recreation, education oh and booze and food... there are about seventy five of us staying in the hotel... this hotel is also host to busloads of American and Canadian kids who seem to do the whole tourist thing... whenever i hear the canadian accent i cannot resist asking which part they are from and have they heard of the fiend... we have a number of speakers from local politicians to a consultant on international relations... it is also where we discuss proposed changes to the rules and policy of our organization... it's a week i enjoy because i am mixing with intelligent people who more importantly share the same political and social views that i have... well mostly anyway.. on a personal level... well there is the food and the booze... but the best part is i do not have to go to work or go home... ( it is the only holiday i get ) ... there are women to flirt with ( no touching of course ) places to gamble.. ( i lost all my money ) ... and i returned home refreshed and ready to resume the burdon of everyday life... oh i forgot to mention that i got myself elected to the national executive, this body being charged with the day to day running and the financial performance of the Union.. i continued my campaign for election to the post of president.. this position becoming vacant in a years time... i take note that this email is very dry... but i'm feeling rather dry at the moment...

in closing i would say that i miss you all especially the ones i have not had contact with for ages... some of you know each other and some of you know none of my other contacts.. hi to you clariece i hope you are still well and happy... annie i miss your warm persona that fairly glowed from the screen... in fact all of you that have touched my life in various ways.. i know that we move on and have no real point of contact and in fact nothing of relevance to say to each other .. but i hope you remember me with the affection that i do you.. ( especially for you beaklit ).. ok enough schmaltz... as you know this is uppie and all titty flashes will be gratefully received..

i remain as always uppie the faithless
