‘Morning all…
Very sad to see the overreaction in Baltimore. The opportunistic always find a way to make matters worse and detract from any possible message. Calm would be a good thing. May there be a bit of calm and a bit of reflection on all sides.
Now then, I’ve determined that it is completely impossible to leave a dentist’s office without both your jaw and your wallet aching from the experience. And – as a bonus – I’ve got a crack in one tooth as well, so I get to go back again in a few weeks… Oh joy?
Better hurry. Wait much longer and you won't be able to catch up on the contest.
Unless you don't like Wunderbars... or similar...
Here's a link if you're interested
Canadian Buffoon's Solo Disney Vacation
Contest?
Well… if that’s been going on a while I may not worry much about trying to catch up, but I do believe I’ll head over there and give it a read. Tnanks.
My wife wanted a pool.
I told her how much they were.
She said I could work more overtime.
I told her they required maintenance.
She said everyone would pitch in.
I told her they don't increase the value.
She said she wanted it anyway.
I told her no. No way. No how.
She tilted her head a bit.
So now we have a pool.
Guess who does all the maintenance?
Actually, there is a silver lining.
"Honey. I got you your pool. Oh. By the way, I'm buying a motorcycle and taking a solo trip to Disney."
She let me.
When she tilted that head a bit, did it also include a slight shift to one side and a raised eye brow?
I’ve seen that look… Many a man, who has seen that look, did not survive the day.
Not surprised the pool got built or just who maintains such, but good work there on adding play toys and expeditions into the mix as compensation.
DD got home from school last Thursday and that throws the house into a tail spin. So much better when there is only 1 of the female species in the domicile.
Another year in the books, I see. Excellent.
Last day of classes for our young’en is Friday with exams next week. We’ll drive up there probably next Saturday to load everything out of the apartment. Looking forward to a quite summer once we get back from the cruse.
It does not get better, only worse as they get older...................... Finally at 18 & 20 they are starting with "guess Dad ain't as dumb as we originally thought".
Girls get to that point earlier then guys. I figure it’ll be another half a decade or more before my boy says to me something like:
“Ya’ know dad… it seems like the older I get, the smarter you get. Now, how do you keep doing that?”
The plane in the tree has an easy explanation. But, how did those bicycles get there?
Man-eating tree…
The plane and bikes are just left over from where it forgot to wipe its mouth.
Some good news though, with the Free Dining released today, Brian pointed out Canadians get a week's head start so got the whole trip booked now. On the down side, caught that da,m cold that everyone else had, family, coworkers etc, the cough is wearing me right out.
Nice!
Well… not the cold - that stinks - but, the upgrade on the trip there…
Nice!
Been another long week. DW just added garage sale to the spring's already packed calendar. DD has now been recruited for junior track. She has a swim teacher who is actively grooming her for the junior competition team. That's now four coaches who have recruited who have wanted her to come out for her sport. And she's only 6.
Much to be proud of there sir.
Much.
As far as my child goes, I don't think she believes I am smarter, I think she has just given up and humors me.
Aren’t they all just doing that?
.
I will be accomplishing a milestone next trip, earned all 7 Magic Band colors, I'm not sure if any of the Dads have already reached this milestone
