I woke up this morning and the stupid colder weather from Arkansas has made it's way down here. It's supposed to warm up today quite nicely, but for the moment it's a bit chilly. Hopefully today will be very uneventful. I hit submit on my stupid taxes this morning, I'm getting really tired of the IRS always figuring out a way to screw the little guy while giving all the people with tons of money the big breaks. The separation of the classes is getting worse all the time, and if no one else will say it, I will. DEPRESSION! There, now let them try and deny it. How long do they think we will buy the "recession" BS? Anyway, I guess it's time for me to do something productive, like sit around and lounge all day. :-)

Well, the ape has journeyed to Louisiana. It's been 2 days and the locals seem hospitable enough, although I'm not much of one for crawfish. I've tried them on occasion, but never seemed to get a taste for them. I'm starting to unwind, hopefully I will become completely relaxed in the next couple of days. I am having fun with my daughter and grand-daughter. My wife is actually talking about coming back with me. The culture shock for both of us will be a bit of adjustment, she's been down here for six weeks. The best thing about being down here is there's sun, and NO RAIN. I've been wearing shorts most of the time and lounging like a lizard.
Well, that's all I have to write about today, hopefully things will be this uneventful all during my trip.

Well, it's been a few days since my last post. I don't have allot to say right now, there's been allot going on, I'm trying to tie up some loose ends at work before I take a weeks vacation.
Not
that I need one, the urge to kill has subsided some since I upped my
medication. I only have a month of vacation time, but trying to
find time to take it is rough. I did get some good news though, I
saved some money on my car insurance (for real). About 20%, just
by switching companies. I won't say who I went with, but I did the
whole thing online in about 30 minutes last night. I probably
won't post anything for a week, unless I just have something to really
say. I'm going to try and enjoy the week away from work.
Maybe I'll have a major revelation and have something really witty to
say when I get back. :-)r />

I had a dream that I woke and went to check my e-mail .... lo and behold, I had absolutely NO SPAM. No Viagra, no lengthen your pecker, no arousal, no third notice for a free washing machine, nothing. Just the e-mail I was supposed to have, work and friends. It was great. Too bad it was just a dream. :-(
On an up note though, I just watched Ringo on Private Sessions, on A&E TV. It was great, so at least there's that bit of goodness on this Sunday. Rock On!

As most know, the divorce was final yesterday for Seven and her former spouse. This is a time to spend looking back, not in anger, but in reflection of ALL their time together. They have two wonderful children whom they love more than life itself, and would do anything for. They need to remember that no matter the good, the bad, and everything in-between, the children come first. This is not a time to start throwing knives at each other, as you will need to pick up the pieces and work to start the next phase of your life. Do not listen to any of the childish banter of those who are not real friends, and correct those you know if they begin to act so. Remember, adults acting like children and saying rude things is a form of jealousy on their part, not yours. I wish both of you the best and am there for you.
With utmost respect and admiration, Zaius.

Well, Seven has been busy lately, me I just try and keep up. Sleep deprivation makes you think about allot of things you might not normally think/talk about. With that in mind, I will try and respond to her latest blog.
I say this trying to look at both sides (which of course being a male is impossible), but I think it truly is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. That doesn't mean you have to bore the rest of the world with your stories about it. I remember a couple of girlfriends I had before I found the one I couldn't live without. All men fall into lust and then if their lucky, they fall into love. Me personally, it's the eyes first, if she has those eyes that say "yes, I am really listening to you" and in the back of her eyes you see the "I would also like to jump all over you and get kinky" then you have it. However, that's just one part of the whole picture.
I am revealing a little more about my life here than I normally would, but I've been married to a wonderful, tolerant, half crazy woman for 24 years, and I can't remember what life was like before her. There are times we would both like to kill each other, but we haven't. We hold hands allot in public, I don't consider us "an old married couple" and we have 3 grown children. I even have a granddaughter. But if someone asked me what the secret was, I would just have to say, I don't have a clue. One thing I try to do is always go to bed with one line - "I love you". Seems simple enough, sometimes it's really hard, but it can make all the difference in the world.
There isn't any magic formula, or special cocktail to make things work. Both men and women have their own issues to deal with. Some like their mate to be tall, short, large, skinny, smart, average, funny, big butted, big chested, models, red haired, blondes, with some brown in them, white, black, Indian, etc, etc, etc. Everybody has their "specifications" for an ideal mate. I think if people would just stop and think about one thing, everything else will work itself out........ So what is the one thing? That's what you have to figure out for yourself. (yes, I stole that from City Slickers, so sue me) For me personally, they have to be able to put up with MY ISSUES. My wife does her best, and for that, I am eternally greatful.
There are no words of wisdom here, I'm just trying to navigate the waters like everyone else.

I was going to do something special today, but work has me overloaded again, so instead I just archived the old stuff and started a new month.
