Vacation

Ah that time of the work life when you get to say. No. well some people can and I am fortunate enough to be one of them. Wife’s B-day is tomorrow, take her to dinner tonight and then spend as much time with her and the girls until vacation is over.

What will I do on vacation? No clue. Look at house’s?

Twenty ten or two thousand ten?

Twenty ten or two thousand ten?

Does this matter?

Suprizingly enough it does to some. enough so that I was correct at work. To me it does not mater what you, they and or them say. Nor will I correct you to my view. Which by the way I say twenty-ten. Here is what I find funny, in 1989 what did you say? nineteen-eighty-nine or one thousand-nine hundred and eighty-eight. 

I just find it funny that anyone could/would care enough as to how one say’s 2010 so much that they would get into a heated debate over it.  Of all the things to get into a debate over. this is a priority to some.

I am a tree huger. save the forest do not litter there kind-a guy. I have other things to debate that I care about. politics I have my opinion. Movies do I have a few that I will chew the cud about. But really? you have to tell me I am wrong in saying twenty-ten.

20/20

Kids are a constant source of both imagination and entertainment. My oldest daughter made up a game. Now all kids make up games so this in and of it self is nothing out of the ordinary.  But she loves math and at 8 years old is excelling in it.

Last night I got to play her game. She had taken and make about 30 cards with numbers ranging from 0-10 there was only one 0 and one ten but the rest was pretty random. She handed us all 3 cards and explained the rules. all 3 cards have to add up to 20. You may take from the top of the new pile or from the discard pile. when you discard you place it fase down so no one can see what it is. you also discard before you draw. a game of sheer luck and chance. but it got my youngest to trying to add things. very sweet indeed.

A place to throw words

As a person who both loves his family and gaming, finding a balance (One that leans torwards family more then Gaming) can be hard. Priority’s are what people call them. We list them, show them. Even at times Brag about them. We are eager to show how we follow them when we do and toss under the carpet the times we do not in hopes that the guest will not walk on that part of the floor.

When my children are grown, I want them to say I was there for them. But as all people are they also want a bit of life out side of kids. At no point would I say that I do not want kids. As long as I can remember post teenager, I have wanted a family. Married at 23 first kid at 27. I meet my wife in high school. Many people say that high school romances never last. 12 years later it is lasting perty well. We are not the norm but we work and are happy.

Life is not a road to be flowed, or a trail to be blazed. Every moment becomes history. not all history is remembered. But live today so that tomorrow you can remember it with the thought, I did that and would again.
