Happiness (or despair) comes in different forms. Little things!
Yesterday I got up to go to my daily exercise class and all the lights on electronic gadgets were blinking at me. The power had gone off over night due to an electrical storm and I had to reset everthing. Awwww! Then I went to make coffee and forgot to empty the old coffee out of the glass canister before starting. I ran the new coffee over the old coffee and the pot over-flowed. Coffee ran everywhere. I just don't do things like that. Then the love of my life told me she had tried to load a photo book software program onto our outdated computer and the computer puked. We almost lost "acewisdom". That would really would have been a lousy break.
Today started better. My walking routine is improving (less pain). Then I went to my dentist and braced myself for a new filling. It turns out that the tooth previously had a root canal so there were no nerves involved. He drilled the tooth, filled the cavity and had me out of the chair in 13 minutes. That works for me. I'm sure I'll be billed for 30 minutes. Finally, my season tickets for UW football arrived by priority mail. Hey, bring on the rest of the day.
I got to drive the new fire-red, extended cab, all wheel drive Ford F-150 "bad boy" truck recently purchased by the Grasshopper No.1 family. I'm sure I made No.1 nervous as I backed out of the driveway using the only rear-view mirrors (Grasshopper No.3 taught me that trick), she commented I was too close to the barrier barrels on highway 41 and finally she exclaimed some obscenity as I squeeled the tires accelerating from an intersection. Hey, it ain't my truck.
This is just an insight check. I never realized it but it is really hard to solve a "redneck murder". First all the DNA matches and second, there are no dental records.
Don't think too hard Grasshoppers because there are no lessons this time. Just bullsh-- jibberish. Get those kiddies ready for school.
Love,
Dad
