Friday, December 26, 2014Good morning crew,
Ha! My first day of vacation (technically...I was off yesterday too, but that was a federal holiday). These few days we get every year are precious. When you are a young buck you don't really think about it, but at a certain age you begin to realize that your life is trickling away day-by-day as you sit at a desk and stare at a computer screen (or whatever you do for a living) just to make money to pay a mortgage on a house you hardly ever see because you spend most of your life sitting at a desk and staring at a computer!
These few days of vacation have to be taken advantage of. We have to cram a lot of living into these few days to make up for the other three-fifths of our lives that we spend sitting at a desk and staring at a computer.
So today I am going to put one of my Christmas presents to good use! I got the latest edition of SimCity which I am going to load onto my laptop and put in a good 8 hour day playing.
Carpe diem!
Laugh it up,
Joe

***I figured that at age seven it was inevitable for my son to begin having doubts about Santa Claus.
Sure enough, one day he said, "Mom, I think I've figured something out about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy."
Taking a deep breath, I asked him, "What is that?"
He replied, "They're all nocturnal."
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*A man picks up his golf-ignorant girlfriend after he has come from the links. While he's driving the tees in his pocket fall out. His girlfriend asks, "Harry, what are those things that just fell out of your pockets?"
"Oh, those are called tees. I put my balls on them when I'm driving."
"Oh, well. Ask a silly question, get a silly answer."
