Musings

  • DaddyBear is not allowed to describe technology problems in scatological terms.
  • DaddyBear is not allowed to update his résumé to describe his current job as “Senior Fire Watcher”.
  • Dear OnlineBigBoxVendor- It’s Christmas.  Slapping a shipping label on a box, which has a picture of my present to the family on it, then having somebody drop it on my porch is not cool.
  • Today was the last day of school for the kids before Christmas.  It’s the day we send in gifts to the teachers, just to let them know that we appreciate them spending a few hours a day with our hellions.
  • My market research shows that it takes 15 people to click on the link to my on-sale book to get one person to buy it.
    • To those of you who have left a review, thank you very much.
  • I’m actually quite impressed with the method we’ve used to keep our Christmas tree from falling over.  It involves lumber, bolts, firewood, and water.
    • I have fence staples, duct tape, and 550 cord on standby.  I’m going to keep that mother up, so help me.
  • This morning, after taking Boo to school, I lay down on the couch to get a little more sleep.  I queued up the Bastogne episode of “Band of Brothers” to watch while I dropped off.  That was quickly vetoed by Irish Woman, who told me to watch something more “happy.”  I followed her instructions and watched a documentary about a Viking mass grave that was found in England.
  • Girlie Bear asked me if she could borrow my copy of “Brave New World” to reread over Christmas.  In this case, I was the one telling someone else to do something a little more “happy”.  Instead, she’s rereading “Monster Hunter International.”
