Just stuff....

I feel like writing tonight but I just don't have anything on my mind....of course I've been told that hasn't stopped me before. It's hot outside and everything on TV is a rerun or stupid...usually both. I can't get into this book I've been trying to read and for some reason Debbie doesn't like for me to play my ukelele real often.....so-o-o-o, there just isn't much going on to write about.

Our dad turned 87 this week. He didn't seem particularly excited about the event even though Debbie and I took him out to eat at one of the finer fast food places in the neighborhood. I guess when I turn 87 I won't be too excited either....it's not like turning 100.  Now that's exciting! I can barely wait to see how things are going in the world when I turn 100. Oh sure, I'll still be looking for a job and I'll probably have gained another 50 pounds or so but I doubt much else will have changed. We have a stable economy, great leadership in Washington and Austin, and morality seems to be at an all time high so I expect things will be about the same 40 years from now.

I really need a pitch fork to turn my compost pile. Anyone have a spare one out there? Do you mind loaning it to me? Do you mind turning my compost pile? I'll give you a bag next spring....come on, it's hot out there.

Nathan and Andy both graduated from kindergarten this past month. I asked Andy what he was going to do with his life now that he had finished school. He said, "Huh?". I asked if he was really smart enough to have graduated and he let me know real quick he was. So I figured I better test him. I asked him how much was 10 minus 5. He said 5. I asked him how much was 5 plus 5 and he said 10. I said "okay, if you had 10 apples and gave 3 to Mammy, I stole 2 while you weren't looking and ate 1 but gave the other one back, and you lost 3, how many apples would you have?" He looked at me for the longest time and finally answered, "it was just kindergarten Papa".

I know, this one is just stuff...kind of boring really. To be honest, and this is between just us, Debbie thinks I'm in here searching the web for a job....let's not tell her anything different, okay?

Have a good evening!
