39 and counting....

Well I've done it .... I've grown older again. Im 39 years old. When I was
a child in 3 or 4th grade I would look forward and see that the year 2000
was 30 years away, a life time away. We are 7 years past that and the clock
never stops. I thought I would never see past 30 if I was lucky. I remember
my dad at 39 looking old. Do I look old to my kids? Some of my joints are
starting to hurt when the weather changes. I'm turning gray when I didn't
think I could. ..... The other think I'm doing is trying to stay young
through my sons. The playtime and movie time, stories and games. I need to
stay young at heart. Now "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!"

6 years.... and we still have the blackeye

We were slapped in the face 6 yrs ago today. Part of the country dies that day. we also came to realize that we were not untouchable. The stabbed us in the heart and hit 3 targets and used 4 of our own planes. 3000+ people lost their lives that day and more continue to die each day from health issues. In the war we have lost over 3000+ soldiers and more continue to die. If you watch the news we are no longer reporting soldiers deaths. Its still going on people . This last Sunday I said good bye to one of my dearest friends and the godfather to my eldest. My 7 year old asked him if he was going to the war. ... Fuck, I'm tired of it. This has lasted longer than WW2 and slowly reaching Vietnam length. 6 Years later and we are no closer in catching bin ladin. What are we going to do if we do catch him. Life in prison? We can't kill him , he would be a martyr to the nut bag cause.... Fuck we are in a no win situation. If we leave Iraq we leave it a breeding ground for anti American camps. If we stay we die a slow death.... any way Never forget and pray for our soldiers both men and women to come home.

nothing of importance

work work work worok work wokr eork ...... it just will not end. the daily grind of people. IN the last week I have done nothing of any importance. Its sad but I feel like I do this 52 times in a week. Nothing. No one wants to hear about my boring existence. The only highlight was a wine party my friend had. We cracked through about 12 or more bottles and people brought lots of cheese. Im not talking kraft singles but well ripend french cheeses , aged goat cheeses, procuttio de parma, olives. I used to work for a Specialty grocery market and my own specialty was wines and cheeses. Man I did not realize how much I had missed the products, the smells and flavors. Wow... I did a quick calculation and I am estimating that on the low end I cut about 15-22,000 lbs of cheese. Thats a lot of cheese......

The kids are down state again visiting gramps and grand ma before the leave for florida again. Im down to having creamed corn and baking power in the fridge. The part that kills me is that I can cook rather well, I am just too lazy to cook for my self. I love cooking for the family but for just me why bother... arrg I want to win the lottery and have food broght to me just like the president..... a quick call and suddenly a hot corned beef sandwich is at your door....
