off of my soap box

Well, I am off of my hot button issues or as Peter Griffen says..."Things that grind my gears".

I am pro gay and a sympathizer of animals to a degree and trying to be more ecologically sound.

Enough!

My wife made some chili yesterday and it couldn't have come at a better time. It is a cold windy day out today. I hate days like these because it's sunny and looks great but is colder than a witches tit. Actually, it's not that cold. We have been spoiled with a mild winter up until about two weeks ago.

My son won't be home until Thursday afternoon/evening. I miss that booger! Last night I called him before I went to bed and had a wonderful little conversation with him. It eventually moved into beavers. I have no idea how or why he started to talk about beavers. That carried over to dams and the bad word damn. He kept saying how damn is a bad word and he shouldn't be saying dam when talking about beavers. I said it was ok to say dam when talking about beavers and thats it. It wasn't ok to say damn when talking about anything else. He kept intertwining the good dam and bad damn when talking to me. It was funny! It was like his free crad to say a bad word. It reminded me of an episode of 'The Simpsons' where Bart learns about hell in Sunday school and just starts using the word hell any chance he can.

Well, that is my life today. I am going to go get some chili and clean up a bit. What a life!
