Who could think that any woman could put up with me for that period of time?

I am a lucky man.

My mother did that once…

…running into a burning building to try to save a neighbor. She ended up missing him but only a foot or two and ended up with lung damage, however it is a proud story and it is no less proud now that she is 84.

I suspect if she acted in the way the police did here she would have 40 years of guilt instead.

There is nothing sadder than watching one of the father’s of all cultures commit suicide.

The kid’s girl comes over today…

…and the wife wants the place spotless. This is going to be an interesting afternoon.

When I was dating my wife my folks would go upstairs, but then again we were in our early 20’s.

Likely no Joe blog today…

…because of the asthma combined with pneumonia my oldest is sleeping on the den couch. MSNBC is channel 53 in these parts. Under the Comcast plan it is a free channel if you have a cable box, as I have only one I can’t put on the show without waking him. Since he’s sick I’m letting him sleep so until he is up Morning Joe blogging is either delayed or on hold.

Yes I could rent an extra cable box for only a few dollars a month, and I could get a dvr box for only a few dollars a month, and I could get a cell plan for a few dollars a months etc etc etc. When you add up all those few dollars a month they add up to more than a few dollars when I’m not working and even when I am.

I’d just as soon have the money to pay the bills in thin times and to use for things I really want in thick ones.
