Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays (for political correctness)

It has been a while since I posted to this blog. This blog is dedicated to my friend, and fellow oppressed husband, Lucas in San Diego.

Over the weekend there was a string of emails between my lovely wife and her friend in San Diego, who also happens to be the wife of Lucas. The emails were in reference to Lucas after a hard days work of watching the children was sitting around doing nothing but watching sports on TV - wooooahhh-maann.

Lucas, I support you, and you are correct. We should unite and create a joint blog about these issues.

I will admit that there is always room from improvement, however we do our fair share of tasks. I only watch 4 full sporting events on TV (the 4 majors of golf) . If I happen to catch a few more during the year, I consider myself lucky. More power to those who want to watch sports on TV - woooaaaahhh-maann

Just a few minutes ago my daughter asked my wife to play Monopoly. My wife's reply, "No. I am doing nothing." Far be it from me to talk to her about doing nothing - woooaaahhh-maann

Then there is the issue of sleep and rest. My wife gets frustrated with me for napping. She does not feel she can take the time to nap. So it is her choice to not nap. Her position is who will get the stuff done. My position is either one of us will get it done - woooahhh-maann

There is a solution. Compromise



WOOOAAAAHH-MAAANNN

GIT-R-DONE

On Friday night we attended Larry the Cable Guy's Eat, Drink, be Larry concert with some friends. It was hilarious. It was rude, crude, and perverse. Right up my alley. I have not laughed so hard in a long time. He touched on every topic from family to politics. As Larry would say Git-R-Done

Patience is a virtue

I am sitting at Starbucks right now in College Station, TX. I finished my project a day early and am trying to get home. Texas A&M University is basically the only thing in College Station. I am scheduled to fly out of here this afternoon at 3:00PM to Dallas then leave Dallas at 6 and arrive at 8:30 pm. I was at the airport to fly standby on the 7:00 AM flight. I did not make it. The next one is at 1 pm. That is oversold. I am pretty much stuck. I will go tour the George Bush library and enjoy my day patiently.

Let it Snow. Let it Snow. Let it Snow

As i am sitting in my hotel room in College Station, Texas at 6:00 AM CST I am finally posting about our snow storm we had on Saturday. Saturday morning we had a small dusting of snow (maybe 1/2 inch). There was a local event going on near our house. One of our friends was debating (after committing to another mutual friend) on not attending due to the snow out on the roads. At the time we had heard this all the roads were completely clear and the snow was beginning to melt. I thought to myself the whole city must be shutting down (lol). I was definitely laughing about this. They ended up going. Later on in hte day we had between 4-5 inches of snow fall at our house. Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow

Depth Charge

There is a major difference between in-laws and outlaws: Outlaws are wanted. The other night I was at my in-laws house for dinner. While we were waiting for the food to be ready my mother-in-law had asked me to change out some batteries in one of her Hallmark Snowmen displays. I replied, "Sure thing." She proceeded to get out some batteries and the screwdriver. As I was getting ready to loosen the screw on the latch for the batteries, she started explaining to me in detail how to replace the batteries. Hmmmm. Being that I am 34 years old, have two kids with many toys that require batteries, and in the IT industry, I believe I am capable of replacing batteries.
