My son (age 17) dented the back bumper of another students new Hyundai pulling into the school parking lot. It's not bad, but they are going to take it to the dealer for repair. I guess it will still be better to pay for the repair than make an insurance claim and see a major jump in my insurance premiums.
There are two schools of thought on this... one says "zero points" because it's cruelty to penguins. Another school says it's "infinity plus one" points since the likelihood of finding a penguin on the road and then him not slipping under the car unharmed is so remote.
Walked 18 holes on a beautiful sunny day on the golf course. Looking forward to a outstanding shave this evening.
Its our 4 year anniversary today. I know it's nothing compared to some of you guys =P but it's still something. Food now and the movies a little later =D
Ah, Man; without hesitation I 'two-fingerdly' picked my Golden G-Ball from the rack, & chose a NEW 7AM Durablade for the performance. I was on a Three-Pass-Mission of Completeness! I was going for "SMOOTHE," Daddy-O! And; "I got it!" Then, I "Splurgingly-Splashed" the Mennen to my face & neck for the "Cool," Man! Can you 'dig-it? I did! I got the, "GOODS," Cats! "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" Another Perfect-Shave; from a "YESTER-YEAR'S-RAZOR!" Thank You, Lord Jesus! Amein!
Ok... so that thing I said about downhill from here... Got a call from the main office this morning about an hour into the work day--"The BIG BOSS needs you to help him with a presentation." Standard affair... laptop, projector, screen. Click when he points. Little old ladies oohing and aahhing over pictures of wildflowers--an easy hour or so of pay-- yay me! Everything is coming up Millhouse! So I show up. We drive the 10 miles out to the sticks, find the place, and proceed to set stuff up when I realize I forgot the extension cord. crap crap crap. Oh well, it's okay, I don't need it anyway! Yay me! But wait--flower lady heard me say I forgot it! Flower lady to the rescue! Off she pops to find an extension cord! She spots one under the kitchen sink. She tugs on it, only to find it is resisting. Soooooo----she gives it the ol' college try and yanks with all her might! AAAAAAANNND there goes the waterline! Naturally, the only cut-off to the house is at the water meter... which nobody present has a key to the lid to. It took 20 minutes or more for somebody to come out and do an emergency shut-off. Now picture me, president of the water company who is less than a month away from retiring, and 5 or 6 old ladies ringing out towels and trying to keep the rising tide of water at bay and prevent the carpet from getting destroyed with the rest of the floor. Then once the water was cut off, hauling the buckets of water out to the yard and dumping them. Then we did the presentation. I knew I should have asked that chicken "why?"
Today was a big day! I drove to a friends office (over 2 hours away) to meet and discuss future business opportunities. The job hunt is over for me now. I will be starting a new location for his accounting firm. There are still a TON of details to iron out...but that's what's going to happen. Basically I am almost starting from scratch, BUT no more corporate politics! (YES!!) I am terrified...but insanely excited!! ALSO - I recently started a photography blog...I have 1 post on it...AND tonight I got my first email subscriber who also commented that they are "very excited" on learning to use their cameras and to get good photos without investing a ton of money on hardware. Needless to say, today was a VERY exciting, yet terrifying, day! Oh yeah...since I will be opening up shop...my wife and I have to decide if we are going to move or not because I am free to open an office wherever I settle (which has to be decided soon..... :/ )
