Two in a row

What's the definition of a gentleman?

And December comes rollin in...

without a post since August. Work has taken over my time but there's still plenty of that and I'll use what I have now.

Avalon likes to ride on my back singing,
"Hold on the bottom of my feet, my feet,
Hold on the bottom of my feet.
Hold on the bottom of my feet, my feet,
Or I might fall down and bust my seat.
Bust my seat, bust my seat,
I might fall down and bust my seat."

Jianna likes to do crossword puzzles together, any kind of puzzles really.

Prince likes to scrape his belly along the floor, pulling himself forward by his front paws. He'll growl at me for no reason and then come up and lick me. Weirdo!

Everyone will be together for the holidays. And then, everyone will go their own way. Winter is colder this year.

No Post for JULY

I was gonna try to post once a month and here it is the end of August. Oh well, since I'm the only reader, guess it's no biggie.

Summer's basically over when the kiddos go back to school, earlier and earlier each year.

Watched for interesting signs on recent road trip:

Wyoming railroad crossing sign: "Do not stop on tracks!" Oh really, why not?

South Dakota highway sign: "Drive in your lane." Is there a choice?

Minnesota highway sign: "During backups, use both lanes." Yes, it's awful when my lane is backed up and the other lane is clear. Dang it, I wished I thought of using both lanes years ago, but then in South Dakota I have to drive in my lane. I'm so confused.

Once a Month

I post here once a month or less. Usually less. I suspect no one reads any of my posts but me anyway. I don't have much profound to say or interesting. I spend the days mostly in SQL code or some other cockamamie programming language. There was fear that machines would take over the world. Then it switched to perhaps computers will take over the world. Actually, numbers have taken over the world. Two numbers really, 0 and 1. Gives new meaning to the Bible references to 666 and there are more than just the one. Just try to get any organization to make an intelligent decision. They will go straight for the data. If they only knew how bogus the data was; bogus data entry, bogus data retrieval, bogus data analysis.

Animals and babies are more in touch with reality.

Work...

is both a blessing and a curse. I suspect that I should be more inclined to think of it as a blessing, especially in today's economy. I'm thankful to have a job that provides everything my family needs and more. But, frankly, some days, I feel more like I've been banished from the garden, permanently. Thanks, Adam! 8-)

Starting Over

I'm starting over with this blog. May not last long but it's worth a try.

Here's a joke we made up on the road (Keith, Robert and Pops in Colorado).

What's black and white and tread all over?
