Father-in-law

I had an interesting thought the other day. My father-in-law is a very narrow minded, prejudiced individual. The only group he isn't prejudiced against are caucasian males. Any other group he dislikes equally. His politics are on the conservative side. His heroes are Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Anyway, he wouldn't vote for a Black or woman for president if his life depended on it. My thought was what would he do if the two running were Hillary Clinton and Condolezza Rice? I really want to bring this up at some point just to get his viewpoint. Not that I think there's a chance it will really happen, but from my point of view it would be a problem for him for sure.

Another Wednesday

Another Wednesday. Nothing much going in my life at all. It's sheer boredom. Work is work, home is home. Nothing else much to be said. Please help me. Give me hope.

Cooking

One thing about me that many people don't know is that I like to cook. I watch several of the cooking shows on TV and get some magazines geared to cooking. The biggest reason I don't let everyone know this is that a lot of people, especially the ones I work with, don't consider it a very masculine thing to want to cook. I credit my Dad with learning to cook as he always was preaching to me about how I should learn to be independent and be able to take care of myself under any circumstances. And, it has helped me tremendously. I enjoy it very much and cook more during the week than my wife does. I usually get home before her and I cook while she is on the way home. That way we can get through with it and have the evening free. If I didn't and waited until she got home we would eat at least an hour later. Besides, though it's questionable as to whether she would agree, I am the better cook.

And So, It's Wednesday Once Again

Not that much has happened this week. The most exciting thing is that we had a small fire in the field behind our shop yesterday. Not much damage but a lot of excitement. This is most likely the most exciting thing to happen there in years. Not that it's an exciting job or anything. I am waiting to hear from someone, anyone.

It's Sunday Again

Spent yesterday morning trimming limbs off the trees in my yard so I won't knock my head off when I cut the grass. Yesterday afternoon was spent washing my Nissan pickup. Ended up I had to wax the thing too, which is something I had not counted on. It does look all shiny and clean though. Later we went to my sister-in-law's house for a cookout. I promised myself that I wasn't going to drink anything alcoholic once there, but that lasted until she said I made some margaritas and they're in the fridge. One led to another and another and to eventually to too many. Paying the piper today, for sure. Think I'd be old enough to know better.

Spring is Acoming

The first of March. Spring is on the way and to be honest I don't look forward to it. Cutting grass, yard work, washing cars, and generally all the Spring and Summer stuff I can live without. I think sometimes I should live somewhere it stays cold all the time but I know the wife would never go for it. Another thought is to have a place that either doesn't require yardwork or that I can pay to have the yardwork done. Neither of these is a practical answer so I suppose for the time being I'm stuck. It's all my parents fault because they weren't rich. If I were rich I wouldn't be concerned in the slightest.
