The quiet before the storm

Posted on August 10, 2008 | Comments Off on The quiet before the storm

Not referring to the Russian-Georgian deal, or even Baby Barry’s vacation before his presumed coronation two weeks away, but the two three tropical waves from the African coast which seem likely to become hurricanes before the week is out. It’s selfish to wish one of them on the Gulf of Mexico, just so we might get a little more rain, given the chance of death and destruction. So we won’t go there.

    Didn’t want to rub it in, but it’s 72F and raining behind my window at the moment.
    Visitors are welcome, of course

    Y’all sure know how to live. It’s 102F here. Have fun on your trip.

    Dick, I’ll be leaving at the end of the month.

    Ah, well, time flies. Especially when you have an eight year old around.

    eight year old around
    Huh?
    You mistake me for someone else.

    I’m referring to my eight-year-old. Whose various activities will ensure that the end-of-the-month arrives very quickly for me, if not for thee.

    Oh, I see. The last time I had my own an 8-y.o. around was 14 years ago.
    What a wonderful time it was.

    It can be wonderful. I’m sure it will be much more wonderful when it’s over. 😉

    It can be wonderful. I’m sure it will seem to have been much more wonderful when it’s over. 😉

    Wait another 6-7 years, and you’ll dream of this time of perfect happiness.
    Haven’t you older kids?
