Day 215 - Chillen with the future

I love my new TOY!! I love to read which by the way is not something I did at ALL until I got married and my wife slowly introduced me to novels. Growing up I saw my parents read one book the Bible and ONLY the Bible. I remember reading a few books as kids but I was never taught how to enjoy a book - to slowly let the words create a play in your mind --- My wife encouraged me to TRY - I avoided it mainly because I was a slow reader, I had a big vocab range but slow reader - Once I tried it I was hooked - Now 16+ years later I can out read my wife by almost double when just sitting and reading - I love to devour books -

 Once they started coming out with digital books I was LIKE OH YEAH!!! my wife LIKE OH NOOO - I understand her reason a old book or page on a book has it's appeal and enjoyment - There is a scene (paraphrased best of my memory sorry Trekkies ) in Star Trek the Next Generation where the captain Picard is reading a book when the Data walks in and needs him - he puts the book under a protective glass and Data asks "why not just read it on the screen?" Captain - "There is something about the feel and smell of a real book Data that just makes it more real." --

I knew then and even more so now books, papers, and magazines that are printed in paper are only a few years from extinction - sad on may accounts but understandable on many other accounts - Well I love mine and will continue to buy and I am even working on writing a E-Book - Let the future be now (Engage) - Trekkie reference :)

Day 214 - Chillen and a Chopper

Well another day of back to back to back clients with issues and concerns - but over all a good day - Got home in time to see my daughter flying her toy helicopter like a pro - I tried and all I got was  spinning out of control mess - THIS IS A BIG BLOW - I am now past the age of new TOY's NOOOOOO - I will master this and try to keep up with all the new gadgets I WILL I WILL I WILL --- well at least I will try but it will sooner or later sink in that I am the old version of the techno geek - I learn faster then others my age but still process at 1/3 the speed of a 10yr old modern child in technology SIGHHHHHhhhh - I will come ot term with my out dating -- SOMEDAY for now I will fly and crash this stupid toy until I get it LOLOLOLLLL

Day 213 - Chillen with Birthday feet

Well it was back to work today and it was well - work - not bad not good just another day in chaos that is my career :) I got done early tonight because it was my BEST friend, life partner and my far better half's birthday _ I have been blessed enough to spend the last 17 of her Birthdays with her and hope for at least 30 more :) -- So here we are after dinner just chillen together :)  I encourage you to take time to tell your life partner that you love them for now is what we have tomorrow is very uncertain at best...

Day 212 chillen with the Muppet's

Today is the last day of vacation - That means the real world and all the stress and problems come flooding back in tomorrow - sigh - but today I decided to hold that door closed for one more day - In the AM I helped my 10 yr old girl dig down to her floor in her bedroom to clean it up - then we had some lunch and headed off with the kids to the $5 matinee at the movies - We watched the Muppet's I love these silly liittle things they make me laugh and that is according to the movie the 3rd best thing in the world right behind babies and Ice cream :) --  The movie started VERRRRRRRYYYY SLOOOOOWWWW I was like OH NO the screwed up the Muppet's but then about 15mins in they started to be the good fun laugh inducing Muppet's that we all love!!! We came home and my 14yr son grabbed his Muppet DVD set and we watched another 2 hrs of fun!! Well after chillen for days it is time to rejoin the rest of the rats and chase the cheese again --- As Fozzy would say - I just can't Bear it - waka waka :)))

Day 211 - Chillen and a warm comfy

Today was the first day of the New year - we did absolutely nothing - I spent the whole day in my comfy sweat pants!!! I watched some family shows then the kids played some games then I watched football! Well I did one thing I smoked a flat of RIBS :) Just can not beat slow smoked ribs - Now just waiting for the final touches of supper to be added by my wife - I sat down and threw on one of her home made quilted afghans - I am so spoiled  - she is smart, cute, good cook, artistic, and all the good homey things a guy could want in his best friend! -- yep I am spoiled and LOVE IT!!!
