Long Time No Type

WAYNE’S WORDS
Volume 2 Number 20
Long Time No Type


Of course it has been a long time since I blogged. It seems that no matter how good my intentions are, I don’t get this done. Argh! Damn Me! Let’s see what has happened since last time?


I got the results of my physical. Clean bill of health! “I have nothing to fix with you.” That is a direct quote from my doctor.


Halloween. I had a costume party that I had been looking forward to attending, but was not sure what the Boy was doing. He ended up deciding to go see his Grandma out of town, so I was indeed able to go. Woo Hoo. Woo Crap! I actually had no idea what to be. It was a very busy work week to boot. In addition it was a busy school week for the Boy. He had 5 different costume days: Pajama Day, Future Career Day, Western Day, Sports Day and Halloween Costume Day. With all the work and costuming I was so busy that I never figured out what I was going to be. It was a bout 4 hours before the party when I finally was able to start getting it together. A cheap wig from K-Mart, a pair of size three stretchy pants and a small woman’s t-shirt from goodwill and viola! This is what I came up with.

That is my lovely GF in the witchy get-up!

This is me.


What else happened? Oh, I guess we have ourselves a new El Presidente. Regardless of whom you voted for, this is the outcome. What is funny is that the Republicans didn’t lose and then decide to take it to court. Of course, that is not the same for the gay marriage issue in California. I think it was Proposition 8? Anyway, it was put on the ballot and things didn't go the way the gay community wanted it to. The (quite liberal) people of California have spoken. But alas! It ain’t over. The losers are taking it to court. It seems like no one can just lose anymore. They have to contest the loss. When I was a kid we called that a spoiled sport.


Anyway, the new President is the new President and I am here watching and listening. I may not agree with everything he does, but he is the President of my country and I will support him. I will probably end up taking issue with some things and I may say something about them. This last President gave me things to grumble about too (especially in the second term). Frankly, they are all politicians and they all suck. There I said it.


What else happened? The GF is out of town for nearly a week. She went to a Madonna Concert in Denver. That Madonna puts on one helluva long show, eh? In her absence, the Boy and I were left to our own devices. I was afraid we would end up killing each other, but we actually did ok.


Over the weekend we steam-cleaned every square inch of carpet in the house, deep cleaned his room and the living room, went up on the roof and did the winter shut down on the cooler, went to Adventure Zone in El Paso for about 4 hours, I got a full body massage (sent to me long distance by the GF!) and we ate gross amounts of food from Big-Happy-Fun-Joy-Family-Smiley-Time-China-Buffet. We still have a few days before she gets back so wish us luck.


That is everything for now.

Until Next Time,

Wayne
