TC the Terrible NOW Saber Squelch

I’m in a LEAN/Six Sigma class this week. Don’t ask, it’s a long story and not worth the telling.

Next week the kids are back in Memphis with THE BIOLOGIC. I’m taking a week of leave and THE WOMAN is burning some of her ‘use it or lose it’ vacation time.

I’ll do some posting but not on anything that resembles a steady schedule. In the mean time go here to amuse yourself.

Take care.

P.S. Since switching over from The Evil Empire (a.k.a. Cox Cable) to Verizon On-Line DSL our computers have had ZERO pieces of spyware hit them. Imagine that.

Our intern came back from vacation today. No, I don’t know how a summer hire manages to scam a week and a day of vacation time. All I can say is that if our senior civilian finds out that it was paid time off there is going to be pure hell to pay around here.

None of realized how annoying her voice is until we had time without it. Chunae and our male intern both cringed in horror when they heard her this morning. She’s been really quite though, I guess because none of us have gone out of our way to talk to her. But enough about that.

I paid bills today and felt really broke. Then the entire office went en masse an picked up our Metro checks for the quarter. Now I feel rich again. It’s not enough to really get me back and forth for the entire quarter, but it takes care of 90% it.

As you can see from the picture below THE BOY found a pack of my camouflage paint this weekend. The paint job is all on him, with no direction from me. Not bad for a first time. He thought he was too cool and blew a gasket when I had to wash it off his face. He’ll be a Ranger someday no matter what his mother wants.

One of the girls at his day care this week kissed him on the cheek and called him a hero. It really embarrassed him that she did that. But I can’t figure out if it was the kiss or being her hero that got to him.

Tonight I’m headed to a concert with the SECOND DAUGHTER, FIRST MARRIAGE. You may remember that she bought the tickets as my Father’s Day gift. It’s a double bill with John Mellencamp and John Fogerty under the open skies. We’ve got a forecast for a clear night, so a good time should be had by all.

Out. For now.

Well, another weekend come and gone. The yard got cut, the golf clubs stayed in the garage, and my honey-do list both grew and shrank. Overall, it could be called a success.

I grilled steaks yesterday and they were really good. THE BOY got his first taste of single malt and told me he liked how it tasted, ‘but it makes my throat feel funny.’

The new book this week is a bio on Churchill. I’ve thought a lot about him since the bombings in London and this is as good a time as any to learn more about him.

It’s always good to be validated. For years I’ve said that women are attracted to men with money. Now there is proof to back me up.

Out.
