The lost Monday

Thoughts from a day lost to gastrointestinal ambiguity:

  • Halo: Spartan Assault is pretty good, but I’m glad it’s not any more than $6.99.
  • A lazy day is so much more appealing when you feel well. “Too sick to be up and around, but not sick enough to sleep all the time” is a lame place to be.
  • Saw a cool photo of the space shuttle Enterprise coming south down Rideout Rd. in 1978 for stand testing. It was in a book on Huntsville aviation that Lea gave me for Christmas that I rediscovered yesterday. It was about even with the rocket park just north of the fire station, directly adjacent to where I worked for five years. I’ll look into the legalities of posting it.
  • Hate that I’m going to miss Texas chili for lunch, but it feels prudent to do so.
  • Thought some more about a tough post or two coming up. Actually considering composing objectives for one of them ahead of time. Heh. We’ll see.

  1. Oh, Bo…that ship has sailed, I’m afraid. My goal now is to keep her from getting too serious with anyone before she gets out of high school. We actually had a talk last night about how the world is going to open up to so many, many different experiences and opportunities in college. She seems bummed that everyone around her seems to be attached to someone.

  2. I hope she takes that to heart. We change as much from 17-18 to 22-23 as we do from 2 to 7. I hope she’s prepared for the foundations of some things she “knows” right now to be shaken, and occasionally destroyed. I hope she realizes that as long as she’s lived right now, she’s essentially got that long again before her biological clock will begin ticking and there is therefore no hurry right now. I hope she understands that when she is honestly fine by herself is when she’s best equipped to share her life with someone else.

    I hope these things for my boys too, of course. But I worry much more about good women picking bad men than I do the opposite.

    You and Jeff seem to have kept her ear. That’s an accomplishment at this age. Credit to both of you, and may she continue to listen!
