- Boo has managed to forget his lunchbox at school for five days in a row.
- I told him that tomorrow is the last day I put his lunch in a brown paper bag.
- The day after that, he takes his lunch in a plastic grocery bag.
- The day after that, he takes his lunch in a diaper bag.
- Boo thought that was funny. Irish Woman is afraid I might be serious. I’m trying to figure out where I put the old diaper bags.
- It’s amazing that there are people in the world who get peeved when told by someone, who is so high in the food chain that they’re not even breathing the same air as the rest of us, that they have to do as they’re told, when they’re told.
- The grooming standard at work has changed enough that I can grow a beard out, so I am.
- Last time I could grow one, something something years ago, I didn’t shave for over two years. It got long enough that I could braid it, and it had quite a lot of red and blonde in it.
- I shaved when I interviewed for the current day job. Since then, I’ve never gone more than a few days without shaving.
- Now, after a month of growth, I can see that Father Time has spent the last something something years kicking my butt.
- All of the blonde and red is now white and silver, and there are only patches of brown. Seriously, if I didn’t still shave my neck and scowl a lot, I’d look like Santa Claus.
- Irish Woman has suggested dying it, but I’d rather look old than look like I’d just dipped my beard in a can of shoe polish.
- Oh well, I’d rather look ‘distinguished’ than have my usual baby face.
- Recovery from my surgery is going well. I’m out of the bandages and the stitches in my finger are out. I’ve got a rather nice scar, and I’m learning to type with the new normal in my index finger.
- I tried dry firing with a pistol and a rifle this weekend. The ‘fixed’ finger is still functional, but I think I’ll pull the living heck out of the trigger if I use it on anything but a hair trigger. Time to start dry firing with my middle finger.
- Speaking of guns, I’ve had a hankering for a suppressor lately. Unfortunately, Irish Woman has a hankering for a new house next year, and Boo has hankerings for, well, just about everything that a boy needs to grow. You know, like three whole meals a day, clothes that fit his growing body once month, and let’s not forget that whole ‘educate him so he moves out someday’ requirement.

/ September 11, 2019Yep, father time is NOT good to us… Women age gracefully, we get slapped upside the head with a two by four… Glad the finger is healing. Re the other, you ‘know’ who is going to win…
