Sitting here tonight, happy to be alive.
I'm by myself,..the house is empty. The wife's visiting her mom in Florida, #2 is at work. This is a big house, with two living rooms...I'm sitting in the one that has the furniture from the old house in it. ( it just feels more like home to me) when I'm by myself, I listen to music instead of turning on the TV, and I'm doing that right now. Additionally, and as is getting to be the norm with me, I'm having a drink.
That's Jameson black, boys,..that, and Jameson Caskmate has become my go to.
( And to think only a couple of years ago, you couldn't pay me to drink whiskey)
I blame it on my attempt to make the knees disappear, both before, and now after surgery. But in hindsight, my knees really don't hurt that bad anymore..hence one more reason for the nostalgic waxing.
Its a badge of honor nowadays to raise children to be functional, contributing adults, I think my wife and I have done that..
# 1 has been in the AF for 6 years now, has his college guaranteed if he wants it, and is the apple of my eye. #2 Is going to college in February, and working as a waiter until then. Admitedly He is more of a challenge for me to get along with, but people say that he reminds them of a young me...
so,...he's got that going for him.
I have a job that I'm good at, and happy to be working there. MOF it's got me written all over it...I wear a shirt that has the word " Genius" embroidered on it. The wife is exceptional at hers, She is very well paid, and she is equally happy there as well. ( again two rarities in life.)
I go into the garage, which is a great space, and there's that car sitting there..Everytime I go down there and turn on the light,......I just smile. Hello Monster....
I'm gonna be 60, and in pretty good shape for a crotchety...I'm happily married to a beautiful woman, and have been for 32 years this December.
it's gonna be Thanksgiving soon, Christmas is right around the corner, money is tighter than usual because of my surgery, and a couple of slow months, but I couldn't be happier.
None of this is to brag...I'm just realizing how lucky I am, and just felt like stepping up and saying so.
Good evening fellas.
Time to turn up KONGOS.
