The Meeting

Had a meeting the other day at the marina.


 It was one of those frequent meetings we hold during the summer to be sure that we have everything in the world under control.

We're certain, that during those few hours we are holding the meeting, the world is definitely a better place.
We solve all the problems we can think of and settle many difficult situations. 
Nevertheless, the world seems to fall apart again after we adjourn.


I think we need more meetings. All in favor say "Yes".


Just say'n.

Can you spare a dime

I was on the railroad the other night, heading home from Manhattan. Sitting in the station waiting for the passengers to load in, this man gets on the train and proclaims, "Excuse me, I am not a beggar, I simply lost my wallet and need $5 to buy a ticket home. Can anyone help out."

Now that is a legitimate concern. However, I saw this same man do the same thing about six months ago. That night, the person next to me said they would be happy to give the conductor $5 for the ticket if the man wanted it. He suddenly decided that this was the wrong train and got off.


I guess this plan works for this guy, he seemed cleaned up and able to live life. But I mean, if after six months you are still using the same scam, I think maybe it would be a good idea to reevaluate  life and think about other alternatives. 
Then again; maybe he likes what he's doing and it gives him a lot of free time. It's his life not mine, so I guess I will stop trying to fix it. Just say'n.


Hey, we need more friends to join us! Well, we don't really need them, but we would sure like them. Click on "Follow this blog" or hit the Facebook or Twitter app. If you do then we will be able to take the train home. LOL.

series of events

We set up our summer yard decorations this weekend. We have a small fountain that looks nice in the garden. When I went to plug it in, I found that the plug was broken.
Went to the garage to get my tools, and discovered they were missing.
Went to the closet to look there and discovered the door handle was broken.
Found the tools in the closet and tried to fix the door handle. I needed a new part.
Went to the hardward store and got the part. Wrong size, so it took two trips.
Fixed the handle and then went to the plug. Fixed the plug and then found the pump didn't work.

Said the hell with it and went out on my boat.


There are just day's when being on the water is the only answer.

Then Came Bronson

Got some real harsh comments back on my blog about a motorcycle rider (See me roar). Wasn't my intention to offend anyone, it was just an amusing happening at a stop light. Some of my friends are bikers and they are wonderful people. 
I think if I lived out in the country I would probably have a bike, but I'm not brave enough to try that in traffic.
 Heck, I'm old enough to remember being glued to the TV for every ephisode of  "Then Came Bronson". He was a free spirit on a motorcycle going anyplace he wanted.
If you remember the program, then you remember the freedom of being a biker. Hmmm, what great thoughts those programs gave us.


Anyhow, the notes got me thinking about how we love to feel a part of something and are quickly offended when we think that thing is being attacked. 
Feeling good about something is really important and makes life worthwhile. But why do we have to become so angry when someone else doesn't agree with us.  I've seen a lot of destruction take place because somebody didn't agree with somebody else. 
Life is too short to be offended by other peoples opinions. At least that's the way I feel, but that is just my opinion.

Is anybody home up there?

Took a trip with the family to go to one of the kids college graduation. My wife bought a couple new outfits and put them in hanging bag to keep them clean. As we are all busily packing the car, she asks the youngest to take her hanging bag downstairs. 


We get to our destination and when we unpack, you guessed it, no hanging bag. 


When questioned about this, the youngest replies that we told him to take it downstairs. We didn't tell him to put it in the car.


I really worry about what is going on in his mind. The only place I can regain my sanity is when I remember that someday he will have children. Revenge is sweet.

Dentist

Went to the Dentist today. I thought about running away and not coming back, but I went anyway. I hate going to the Dentist and today was no different than all the other times.


It just isnt natural to have that much stuff pushed in your mouth and then told not to bite down. And this sucking machine that sounds like a vacuum cleaner in my mouth; I am sure it is going to remove my tongue one piece at a time.

Then after an hour of screaming drills, probing fingers, pounding picks, and periodic pain they finally release me.
 It takes a few minutes to un-cramp my fingers from the arm rest, during which the Dentist tells me that at my age I need to come in more often for cleaning. 
I smile and tell him he is right, but in my heart I know that at my age, all I need is more time away from this torture chamber.


Gotta admit tho, my teeth do look better.

Love you

I heard someone tell another person "Love You" and I thought about that phrase for a while. I love my dog, but that feeling is a lot different than how I love my wife. 
One thing I really love is blueberry pie, but I also love my kids and grandkids, and I wouldn't want to put them in the same category as blueberry pie.
 Making love is a whole lot different than being in love.
Bible says perfect love cast out fear, but there are probably a lot of definitions concerning perfect love.
The Eskimos have fifty-two names for snow because snow is really important to them. I think we ought to have as many words for love.

Happy Mothers Day

Being a mother is a highly discriminating process against the male population. Men are never allowed to bare children. For this, the male population breaths a collective sigh of relief.  However, the real problem with a woman becoming a mother is that once the obstetrical delivery is over, then she begins a life of delivering her children all over the area by car.

Mentally, she will become a split personality, for she will now need to think two thoughts, one for herself an one for her child and because of this she will develop eyes in the back of her head that see everything. 


Then, when all is said and done, and we sit down to celebrate with her, if there are only four pieces of cake for five people, she will declare that she really doesn't like cake. 




Let the discrimination continue, men don't want the job.


Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful Mothers.

More Truth

Talked yesterday about truth and how difficult it is to find honest people. I looked in the mirror and in all honesty, I still didn't find a person who is always honest. Don't look at me like that, go look in the mirror and see if I am not right!
Anyhow, in my seeking out truth I found this quote:


"Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth - to see it as it is, and tell it like it is -- to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth."


Isn't that a wonderful thought; unfortunately, this man said it:




Ah Tricky Dicky; alas, truth is stranger than fiction.

Truth

I think one of the great lines in movies is in "A Few Good Men" when Jack Nicholson says "Truth! You can't handle the truth!". Seems that the longer I am around the more I realize that truth is a very rare commodity.


Groucho Marx (there is another name that shows my age!) once said that there is only one way to find out if a man is honest - ask him. If he answers "Yes", you know he's crooked.


I listen to the politicians and major corporation executives on the news, and I think most of them would answer "yes" to the question.
The truth is, most of us should answer "no". At least that would be an honest answer.

Spring Fever

This winter was very long, at least where I live. I think it lasted two years, but that may be an exaggeration. The good thing about a long winter is how much more you appreciate spring. In our area the trees are out, flowers in bloom, birds singing, and above all, my boat is in the water. Oh how I love spring.


When you think about it, there are always going to be winters in our life, and it may not always be weather. Sometimes there are just difficult days when things don't go right, or times when no matter what we do, it just turns out wrong. I guess these times are there to make us really appreciate the good times when they arrive. Have to remember that the next time I am upset or disappointed.


But for now I think I will go out on the boat and enjoy spring.

See Me Roar

Was at a stop light today (which is the same as a go light but a different color) and the motorcycle pulled up next to me. He thought he was the greatest thing since the discovery of gold. I mean, he was leather from head to toe, had a motorcycle that had to weigh 3000 lbs., and he could make noise with it like a trumpet blast from hell.


Beneath his black helmet, he wore a long ponytail that rested upon the logo on the back of his leather jacket. The logo said something about Hell's somebody, but I could catch all of it. 
All-in-all, this leather-bound masked marauder was very impressed with himself.


The light changed and he throttled up, popped the clutch.......and stalled his motor. As I drove away leaving him behind trying to start his big bike,  I chuckled and said a prayer of thanksgiving to God above for bringing me such a wonderful moment. Life is good all the time.

The royal wedding

Watched some of the Royal Wedding this last week and was amazed at the amount of passion the event evoked in people. One TV person described Kate's dress and literally began to cry. I am always happy when people find a place that touches their life, but I do sometimes wonder what goes on in others minds.


I also watched some of the news about Quaddafi and the goings on in Libya. There was a lot of passion being expressed by the people there, but in all honesty, it made about as much sense as crying over Kate's dress.


Then I watched several of our national leaders discuss the economy and how they would fix it. None of them agreed with each other, so I guess there is no solution to be found soon, as our leaders appear to be clueless.


Finally, being given a choice of several news programs to watch, I went back to the Royal Wedding. Given all the other reports I had just observed, I decided I might just watch Kate's Wedding dress and cry for a while. Won't solve any problems, but might make me feel better.

Good Friends

I like spending time with good friends. 

The fun thing about good friends is you really don’t put any expectations on them and they don’t put any expectations on you. 
We all just like being together and having a good time.

 To bad the people running the world can’t learn to be good friends.
