Life is good but busy

Sorry about the lack of posting today, but as Glenn would say I’ve been busy having a life, and a lot of good has been happening:

The oldest got his first car. (My 88 year old aunt flunked her eye test and gave it to him. Michael Graham will be cheering that she is off the road.)

He also got a Son’s of Italy scholarship, that will take care of books and the like.

The youngest has been doing well both in school and with his girl and I’m pleased to say some rather responsible decisions have been made and discussed by him.

A good prospect has come up that might mean employment next month.

And you know what, just sitting here at the computer and watching the wife in the next room. 21 years hasn’t made her any less cute.

What more could a guy ask from life than all that?

In the end political moves can annoy me how can they make things bad when I’ve got all that going for me?

And that doesn’t even count the friends. Some of them are very far left, but as far as I’m concerned they are all right with me. I wouldn’t trade them for a two term Palin presidency!

Almost an instalance

Boy those Boston Tea party photos are pretty popular. I haven’t had this many hits since my instalance.

However since my kids are having computer issues general conversation will have to wait.

Meanwhile those new episodes of Red Dwarf have to be online somewhere.

21 years. Amazing!

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.
