Is that when a woman I’ve never met leaves a comment (and a clarification) on my blog, it can get me in trouble. Fortunately for me, when we bought the new house this summer we also bought new furniture for the family room. The couch sleeps very well, thank you.
Sphere: Related ContentYesterday THE WOMAN and I celebrated three years of mostly wedded bliss. Like an idiot I took the easy way out and bought her a nice necklace. It was a single black pearl pendant with a smattering of diamonds around it.
THE WOMAN on the other hand did her research and discovered that the traditional gift this year is something leather. Let’s just say that her gift to me is far more unique than a necklace and leave it at that.
Sphere: Related ContentYesterday morning while the kids were eating breakfast THE BOY made an announcement. He’s lactose intolerant.
Needless to say, THE WOMAN was not surprised. He’s a regular gas machine and could power a couple of camp stoves if we could find a way to harness him. Not to belabor the point, but he can replay the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles almost on demand. This is after all the kid that once expelled gas and made a large dog howl in disgust. We haven’t let him eat Taco Bell for months because no one can stand the after effects.
Still she was amazed at the flow of the conversation.
THE BOY – Mom, I’m lactose intolerant.
THE WOMAN — Where did you hear that?
THE BOY – On the news commercials the other day.
THE WOMAN — Why do you think that?
THE BOY — See? I told you I’m ‘lergic to milk.
Say what you will, he understood the meaning of the phrase. And his mother has now banned him from any and all dairy products.
Sphere: Related ContentAt this point I really don’t care about respect for the Tigers. If you don’t respect a team with 25 straight wins, you have no brains in your head.
They played a hell of a game last night and beat a quality team. What else would you call a game with 16 lead changes and no team ever getting up by more than five points? The Tigers looked fresher at the end than the Aggies did. Plus they’ve been knocking the bottom out of the net on free throws. They pass well and make good shot choices. The half time adjustments by Calipari were just enough to hold off A&M. The best story on the game can be found here.
I was shocked as hell that the refs took over a full second off the clock at the end just like everyone else was. But I also saw a couple of shots of the refs using a stopwatch to time the replay so I’ve got to think they got the call right.
The main thing about the game is the Tigers won. That makes THE WOMAN happy, which makes my life much better.
Here’s hoping that OSU has no gas left in the tank after last night. After all, THE WOMAN has the Tigers going all the way on her bracket sheet. And I’ll have hell to pay if she loses her five dollars.
Sphere: Related ContentWelcome back my friends to the show that never ends, come inside, come inside. Or something like that.
Here in the ABOUT section of the blog I’m supposed to tell the reader who I am and what it is that makes me tick. Blog Law #12 states that I should share with the readers my motivation for writing, a few facts about my life, and even some notes about my job/family/hobbies/political views or interests. This is the section that allows my readers to develop closeness with me. To link our thoughts and form a deep and lasting bond.
Yeah, right.
I’m the last guy on Earth that’s going to join hands around a campfire and sing Kum Ba Yah. All that ABOUT crap is for the whiney ass bitches that don’t get enough love and attention from their so-called friends out in reality. If they even have any or know where reality is.
Want to know something about the little man behind the curtain writing this blog? Then ask me. I’m not hard to find. Otherwise, kick back and enjoy my take on life.
