One of those nights...

Thursday night... my "hump day" as they call it.  Most people's hump day is Wednesday -- that is people with normal, daytime, Monday through Friday-type jobs.  That would not be me.  No, I'm not complaining.  I could change it if I quit my job really wanted to.

After tonight I still have Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights to go, but at least there's some light at the end of the tunnel.

Neil is crabby as hell tonight.  Both Beth and I trying to figure out what his major malfunction is.  Nothing is making him happy.  I'm afraid it could be a long night for the Speaker of the House.  The one good thing about it is we both know this isn't forever.  Well, that's good and bad.  Time goes too fast.  This reminds me of a beautiful song by Darius Rucker called "It Won't Be Like This For Long."  It pretty much sums it all up.  Warning: if you've got children or grandchildren, this will make you cry...

Tear jerker, huh?

Well, there's not much else to say.  Time to get ready for work.  See you next time.

It's back to work tomorrow.  I am getting the itch to make myself useful again.  I can only be off work for so long and I need to do something.  I could not stay at home all day every day.  It's not for me. So today, since I had the day completely to myself, the task at hand was to do laundry.  And do laundry I did.  As I write this, every article of clothing in the house is clean, folded (mostly) and put away (kind of). My job here is done. While completing the menial task of washing clothes, I had the television on as a distraction.  As usual, since it's not football season, I dialed up Turner Classic Movies. The Singing Nun , starring Debbie Reynolds and Ricardo Montalban, was on, so I casually watched it while waiting for clothes to dry.  Aside from being a nauseating mellow drama, I knew enough about my 1960s music history to know it was based on a true story.  Yes, there really was a singing nun. In fact, we used to have a record of the Singing Nun's bi

Parenting is a tough job.  But I am determined to teach the Tax Deductions good from bad, as evidenced by this video demonstration of the Boy.  He learns quickly.  In fact, he goes so fast, you might have to watch it twice. Still, he's a keeper.

"New" old pictures!

I'm not stupid, but I can be a slow learner some times. Other times, I'm a little intimidated to try something new because I'm afraid I'll screw it up - hey, I've got a history. So after we got our new Mac I was really disappointed that it didn't recognize our digital camera.  In the Microsoft world, much of the technology is "plug and play."  Just plug the USB port into your PC and the new gizmo is up and running.  I have found that isn't necessarily the case with a Mac.  (it could also be very possible I'm doing something wrong - hey, I've got a history). I knew when I purchased a Mac that they weren't compatible with some things - it is Bill Gates' world and we just live in it.  Apple is Microsoft's competitor and Microsoft is the giant of the world.  But the payoff to owning a Mac is that you get a fine-oiled machine that just works .  And that's very much proven true so far. But one rainy evening I decided to ge
