Musings

  • It’s finally gotten chilly enough that we’ve shut all of the windows and can comfortably use the fireplace.  It’s kind of nice.
    • It’s officially fireplace and bourbon weather.
  • Not sure what the trees are doing.  Some have a bit of color, but for the most part, the leaves are going from bright green to dead brown and falling off within a day or two.  A lot of them are still very green and full of leaves, and by now they should be colorful and dropping tons of foliage.
  • Boo’s first parent-teacher conference at his new school went well.  Academically, he’s mastering everything they throw at him, but we have a lot of work to do in the social skills area.
  • Flirting outrageously with your wife at the department store is kind of fun.
    • Bonus points if you can get the group of college age females to giggle because of your antics.
  • I must be doing something right as a parent.  When Girlie Bear found out that we’d bought a copy of “Beetlejuice” to add to our collection, she squealed in joy.
  • I’m not a great master of time management, but it’s impressive how I will juggle things, shuck and jive, and negotiate in order to get a few hours at the range on a Saturday morning.
  • I’m not exactly sure what they’re making good quality floating handguards for AR-15’s with these days, but they sure are proud of them.
  • I don’t think it’s a good sign when I look at the shelves I built a decade ago and think “I need to rip the trim off of that and re-do it.”
  • Irish Woman has begun her decoration rituals for Halloween.  So far, nothing that will cause flashbacks among young children has been erected.
  • I took a vacation day today, and Irish Woman didn’t.  She slept in later than I did, which just seems wrong to me.

    One of the (very few) nice things about my last job starting at 5:30 am, was that ‘sleeping in for three hours’ (honestly about the most I could manage) equated to 7:30…and I was STILL up before anyone else I knew.

    The other part was getting off work at 2:00pm, out of downtown, and relaxing on the porch with cold one in hand by 3:00.
