hibernation is over

greetings fellow winter sleepers

hooba here? back from a long winters nap. while snoozing i had a dream about finally opening and keeping pace with the blog. so here we go. just got back from san jose and the west regional finals. alas sad to report that my jayhawks didn't quite get over the hump against ucla but nonetheless got a little farther than we've been accustomed to of late. hooba says once the jayhawks lose it's time for baseball and come sunday we'll have just that. i took copious audio recordings on my trip and one day might share some of the seamy side of santa clara with you all. suffice it to say that me moving to california any time soon is about as likely as winning the lottery. not quite sure what's not to like about that part of the world but if i started listing things it might require a bigger blog. we had a fine round of golf and actually i made a dozen or more amazing shots considering i hadn't played since last fall. next hole in one and i quit for good.

the menu is shaping up quite nicely and after much abuse from the locals i have reconsidered a few things. i will serve burgers and a few other mainstays but the menu itself will be a bit cryptic to insure that when my customers peruse they have more questions than answers. the spackler special will take on a life of it's own and may even contain an ingredient still living to really set it apart from the ordinary and mundane. we'll redefine fresh here at hooba's on a regular basis. it'll be "so fresh you'll want to slap it" might be the jingle for the commercials which are soon to air to insure our survival. chances are they will end up in the same place many of my emails and cell calls go. if any of you can locate some of those please send them back to me as i forgot what i said.

my cyber dating attempts have ground woefully to a trickle and that may be mother nature's way of telling me i'm not quite on the same level as the competition. i get high marks for the profile verbage and humor but today's woman must be looking for more substance and as most of you who know me can attest, substance is generally something that's abused by many so hooba will refrain from making any attempt to incorporate it into his character or social life. most of my suitors get a bit literal and thus words like moxie, absurd, imagination, please, thank you, escape many. i must say the percentage of candidates who are a bit grammatically challenged is higher than hooba ever anticipated. i may be destined for single life until death but will not lower my standards regarding the use of the king's english. should you know of any likely matches in your world for cousin hooba please feel free to play matchmaker and i'll send you the check instead of match.com.

off to bottle wine with joel. keep me in mind as i've about lost mine and i will look forward to our next chat.
