I Miss Him

Periodically, something will make me think of him. Pretty sure I am not done with the whole thing just yet, but I do try to avoid dwelling on it until I see how it shakes out.

Vacation Report

Highlights since my last post:

First I spent a week in DC for work. The conference part was OK. The little bit where I got to play tourist was great. I would definitely like to go back someday when I have time to really explore.

Next we drove to CO to see my parents. My grandma, aunt, cousin and her baby came at the same time. I also got to see my brother and his family, a good friend from high school, and assorted other friends and relatives. The other highlight besides catching up with family and friends was the weather, which was amazing, especially compared to here (I am blogging naked, if you care to know). We had a few hiccups on the road, but made it there and back in one piece and only slightly more broke than we expected.

The "personal" highlight of vacation was that the "dry spell" was broken and it too was amazing :-P

I also spent a fair amount of the last two weeks fending off the wife of my FB fling (see Him) which I will probably write about in a separate post. Until further incident though, the blog is once again open to the public.

The kids just left to go camping with grandparents, tomorrow is back to work, and school starts later in the week. I have some other stuff I want to write about later, but right now, I am going back to watching preseason football. The Broncos play in a couple of hours. I really hope I do not have to add a new "I Hate Tim Tebow" label to the blog!

Oh yeah, and in addition to having my own personal stalker, L's former boss thinks I am sending her hate mail ROFL. I can see why someone might be tempted, but anyone who knows me very well knows that  if I really hated somebody, I wouldn't bother to give them the price of a stamp.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Capitol

Actually, three things of note happened on the trip to DC -

1. I was subjected to a “random pat down”. I panicked a little, but only because I was cutting it close on my boarding time. It went quickly, and I made my flight. Might be traumatic if it happens very often though.
2. I heard a cute joke: A chicken and an egg are lying side by side. The chicken is smoking, and the egg looks pissed. The egg says “Well, I guess that answers the question of which of us came first”.
3. I was reading the in-flight magazine that featured western locations. An ad for a restaurant that served rustic gourmet specialties included this description for Rocky Mountain Oysters: the remnants of the process of turning a bull into a steer – tastes like chicken. That’s a fancy way of saying bull testicles – and yes, they do taste like chicken.

Today was mostly business. The only slightly funny thing that happened was that I caught a guy checking out the butt of someone about half his age. He was old, she was attractive, it was sort of amusing.
