Stupid signs

Are our prisons really that easy from which to escape? Really? Should I be scared?

Don't know about that 'INSTANT DEATH' but I don't want to pay a $200 fine, so I ain't touching those wires.

Not sure about the dog, but I certainly feel "Lucky" now ... after reading his description.

Frustration personified ...

When you don't even know what you're talking about anymore ...

... or you're just dumb enough (and bull-headed enough) to continue arguing ...

... and common sense would be a better choice than sticking to the 'rules', guidelines or platform ...

... use your brain before you talk, please (or ... print a sign, apparently).

What is it that set's us free?

What is it that gives us the strength to be ourselves? Is it our ability to love, with no strings attached? Is it that love that will save us?

My son cried at football practice

It's not like it was a bawling cry. He didn't keep practice from continuing with a full onslaught of tears and screams. He didnt' stand in the middle of the field and wail, with his hands over his eyes.

But it also wasn't a cry of pain. He didn't get hurt. He didn't just lose the last game of his college career. He's in flag football. It was practice. He got disciplined by a coach because he wasn't following directions.

So, my take on this all: Maybe we shouldn't be playing 2nd grade flag football. Maybe it's too soon.

I don't know. I'm just a guy who would love for kids to pay attention to coaches and be able to follow directions so that they can learn how to have fun PLAYING the game. My son did tell me that Thursday's practice was better than Tuesday's because, "We learned to not 'pig-pile' in the end zone." Yes, son. That's nice. But ... dude ...

What is, is.

Life is good ... and so is a blended vodka/tequila pink lemonade

When your spouse is gone for five days over the course of the first week of school for your children ... When sports practices, dance and swim lessons, and blood donation occupy 75% of the time your children spend 'at home' with you ... When Friday comes and TGIF is not what you think, but rather, TGTNP - as in "Thank God There's No Practice" tonight ... Then it's time for a blended pink lemonade with vodka and tequila. Does a body - er, mind - good! Book club has begun! Let's hope I can get the kids to bed tonight :)

My brain is fried ...

Ever feel like work is stressing you out? Try scheduling your kids in four different activities, then having school begin and your spouse go on a business trip (or two).

Add in fall yard work, house cleaning, and your own online college class, and you have ...

On the bright side, I hear that the temporal lobe tastes great with a little tobasco sauce :) ... yum.

The difference between optimism and pessimism ...

It's more than whether a glass is half full or half empty.

As Henry Ford said: "If you think you can, or you think you can't, you are right."

Have you ever heard: "Expect the worst and hope for the best."?

That's a bunch of BS. I say: "Respect the worst. Plan for the best."
