Of course it really (obviously) doesn’t take me much to get excited. I had heard a few days ago that the Cubs were going to be making a trade for Bob Feller, who as I remember died last year from old age, and I thought…..”wow, the Cubs are finally looking at a guy who could make a difference for them.” But I need to, and am working on, getting more of a life. For beyond my job and lacrosse, I appear to be pretty out of touch.

Case in point….my favorite show is still “Columbo,” yet it hasn’t been on in years. I do not watch sitcoms, and really hardly even watch TV. I do not participate in “guys’ nights out,” and prefer walking Viper around the neighborhood to anything exciting and modern. I do have fantasies, but most of them revolve around a lush green lawn and getting to use my new tractor. Call me a romantic, I know. I am a real catch.

But at least my offspring are a bit normal, though sometimes a bit twisted. As an example, tonight’s picture is of Ben, who swore he to me he was not Luigi, but just Ben. Most of the time however, he is a Transformer. And I am not quite sure what the other two are other than smarter than me….but I have set the bar low.

So tonight I will hit the bed and ponder why in the world my wife ever married me….something I consider only occasionally, but am sure she ponders every night. But why should I let it bother me? After all, I didn’t marry into this genetic pool…….I just enjoy the benefits.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
