Something for the kids

rmiles7721June 30, 20066Uncategorized

Thanks to Lisa W for emailing me the link to this news story. Personally I prefer to just make my kids walk around the back yard carrying bricks 🙂 Save money and get in shape at the same time.

I’m sure it is a good idea and all, but I just can’t shake the notion that it is more of a parenting issue than anything else. The family was all in the car sometime this week, and I was making some smart-assed comment about mommy (any mommy) buying her kids three Big Macs, or whatever the fuck they want, instead of limiting them to what they actually need. I don’t feel that junk food is particularly bad for you, in moderation at least. So my wife chimes in, “Hey, how about a fat sandwich”. My three year old decided then and there that she WANTED a “Fat Sandwich”. Now I will never be able to go through the damned drive-through without first considering if I just want to order one.

Going home

I had a nice time in Savannah considering the circumstances. I was pretty quiet though, I have felt like a dog turd for the last couple of days. My fucking head won’t quit pounding and that has been very distracting. I’ll post a bit about the funeral later this evening. I will say that it was nice to be able to put faces with names. Some of the folks were exactly as I expected, while a few weren’t even close.

I’m about two hours out of Savannah right now. Guess I will gas up and be on my way after a little pee break.

I’ve made my first stop just north of Macon, about two hours into the trip. Not too bad, considering Atlanta traffic and the copious amounts of coffee I have had today. Not one to be too shy about these things, they have had to evacuate the mens room.

Making the drive…

…is not something I particularly wnat to do this morning, particularly by myself. I would just as soon stay in bed. Nothing to be done about it though, just need to get my ass moving. I should be there at some point around noon, so may have a little bit of time to look around before going to the service. I think that Zonker and Sam are already there, so I can always look them up once I get there.

Looks like the links to Rob’s Music HAVE been updated. It’s mirrored in several different locations in WMA and MP3. There is also a streaming link, as well as one in flash. I am listening to it for the first time right now. I downloaded it as soon as it was posted. but somehow it just sat there on my hard drive while I did other stuff. Not bad. He had a nice voice and playing was pretty good too. Almost got a little tear in my eye. Must have been dust or something 🙂

I am taking my camera, don’t know how much picture taking time I will get or if I will be able to even post them, but it would be nice to have pictures of some of the folks that I have been talking to, and about, for a couple of years now.

One more smoke and a cup of coffee and I need to get in the shower. If I don’t have a shower before I leave I will feel like shit for the rest of the day. That and there’s always the fact that nobody will want to stand next to me at the funeral.

Awake at 3am

Damn. Awakended by the intense heat of bodies. pressed upon me. Didn’t we already do this once this year, I’m thinking to myself? Shit, it was the dog, and my three year old. Way to harsh my fucking sleeping mellow. Guess I’m sleeping on my couch, if I can sleep.

Just paid a visit to Stevie, and she didn’t come right out and say it, but it looks like Rob may have actually done himself in after all. That sucks. Trying to find out if and when any kind of arrangements are going on. I think I may need to make trip.

Climbing at castle playground

We spent about an hour at the playground. I am pretty whipped, considering that my three year old dragged me around EVERYTHING. We had a good time though, and fifteen or twenty years from now I don’t want to find myself saying shit like “I wish I had played with my kids more actively instead of just watching them”.

Penis, anyone?
