I took last week off for spring break. I usually work this week because I can get so much done when the teachers and students are gone but I decided I needed a break.
So what did I do?
Mel Brooks... take it away...
I worked my tail off. Major projects around the house, clients calling me to fix their computers (my side business), clients calling me to set up photography shoots (my other business), prospective clients asking me to manage their web site (future business). Man, I'm tired.
No time to post, no time to rest. We did manage to make it to the beach a few times. Last Saturday it was perfect and Thursday it was even better (what's better than perfect?).
Anyway, as I was laying on the beach I got to thinking about something my wife said to me three and a half years ago when I first started to blog. She said, "Be careful what you write about on that blog thing. You're exposing yourself to the whole world." And I said "Honey, I'm not that kind of man. I don't do stuff like that." And she said "Don't be a dope. You know what I mean."
And of course she was right (she usually is).
However, there are some things I don't mind making public.
Such as:
1. I love to sleep
2. I believe in personal responsibility
3. After 34 years I am still amazed by His Grace
4. I love the smell of orange blossoms (among other things)
5. I like it when people speak in sentences not paragraphs or chapters or books or major publications. Shuddup already.
6. I hate talking on the phone. Along those same lines, if you leave a message on my phone, keep it short. Very short. After 5 seconds I'll delete it. Shuddup already.
7. I usually express myself better in writing than in voice.
8. I tend to mumble. My lips get in the way.
9. I love listening to people in their 70's and 80's. They got some stories to tell. They can talk in chapters to me. They've earned it.
10. I love Walmart. 'Nough said.
11. I love the wind in my face. I feel it's God's kiss to me.
12. I love sitting at the edge of the shore line and feeling the pounding of high tide.
13. I despise reality TV. It makes me want to hurl. There ain't nothing real about it. Well, maybe there is: it's really boring.
14. I love pizza as much as I love ... pizza
15. I don't mind getting old. It is kind of weird though.
16. I like being bald (or close to it). I look at pictures of when I had hair and I had some kind of mess up there. Hair history here.
17. I like to be alone and don't like to be in crowds.
18. I love my job(s).
19. If I were to do it again, I'd marry Blue Eyes again. She's the bomb.
20. After 40 years, I've finally started to wear sandals. Long story.
21. I like my feet and hope to avoid what happens to them as you age. Ewwwwwwe.
