A Tad Forward

It only took 2 school days for my wife to get hit on by a dude from one of her classes. This didnt surprise me, but what did was this guys angle of pursuit. It went something like this... Hey you! Hey you in the orange shirt. I'm so & so from class. Do you live in an apartment around here? That seems like an interesting way to start up a conversation, but my wife sent the poor boy along informing him that she actually lives in a house with her HUSBAND. I guess the 2 rings on her finger didn't clue him in. Maybe I need to make her a sign to put on her forehead that reads: Back off or be dropped onto one of these (picture is an instrument of torture used during the inquisition). That wouldn't leave too much open space on her forehead though. Any better ideas?

No trail, No trace

In my attempt to get into some sort of shape, I purchased a bike last month from a local store. For those who know my history on 2 wheeled toys, this may seem a bit brave. For the rest of you, let me fill you in. When I was 11, I crashed this dude Mike's bike. Over the handle bars & knocked the crap out. I remember laying in the ER screaming like a catholic school girl as the asphalt was scrubbed out of my face. That left a mark. When I was 13, I was hit by some fag in a truck while riding my motorcycle. Only a screwy ankle & a fear of riding after that one.
Anyway, I went out with a couple buddies up a local canyon. The ride up wasn't as bad as I imagined but the ride down left its mark. I went over the handle bars again due to some rocks jumping in front of my tire. It could've been alot worse, but my shoulder & helmet took the brunt of the damage. Here's to thinning the herd.

College Day

Yesterday was a first for me. I took my wife to school for her first day of college. It was also the first time I'd been back to a college since I graduated last December. It was an interesting feeling to be back in a school & know that I never had to go back. The sad thing was that I began to contemplate taking a class for fun. That is the scary thing. I hated school, but now that I have the choice to go just for fun, it seems more appealing. Pretty weird. So as I waited for my wife's 50 minute math class to finish (which took forever) I glanced through a catalog to see if there was a class that looked good...Nope. At least I can choose. Maybe I'll look at UNR. Anyone taking any interesting classes this semester? Maybe I should take some guitar lessons, or learn a foreign language so when the likes of Nano mouse, thorn or butterfag bring their drool rag to my blog, I can kindly dismiss them in Greek or something. Hrm... I said ohhhh!

Coming Home

Well the time is approaching when I have to rejoin my life in the real world (not the tv show). I think I can hold out for maybe a couple more days. I have some excellent pictures that will make you laugh & some that will make you cringe. Either way, the trip was great & well worth the financial cost. And I said ohhhhh...

On the road again

As I get ready to leave for an upcoming trip, I have mixed feelings. I look forward to getting away for awhile, but at the same time I worry a bit about the state of affairs that I will leave behind. I'm pretty sure that things will run well @ the office, but deep down I fear that someone is gunna screw stuff up while Im gone. Even if something got way wacked out, it could probably be fixed fairly quickly. I think I need to loosen up a bit & trust the people I have running stuff for me. I can remember when I was in their position & my boss left me with responsibilities. The bottom line is I have an over developed sense of responsibility for areas that I shouldn't worry about, but I do. It's one of my flaws I guess. Anyone ever experienced something like this?

Sword Play

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa -- The naked swordsman is pleading guilty. Curtis Rarick of North Liberty, Iowa, was accused of chasing his neighbors with a sword. His neighbors told police a nude Rarick was standing in his front yard and they complained.
According to the neighbors, Rarick got upset then ran into his house, came back out and threatened them with a sword. He's now pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon. Rarick will be sentenced next month and faces up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Wow, I was raised in a house where waving your sword meant something completly different. I know someone who has a sword hidden in his church office. Don't get any ideas...K.I.T.
