Stressful Jobs - June 20, 2006
Some of my loyal readers don't like my obligatory dead pool postings that I cross post here (for no other reason than to keep my post counter moving). This is one of them about Ronnie Biggs, known as the Great Train Robber - who, unfortuneately is not dead yet. Only 7 more postings to do.

Some of my loyal readers don't like my obligatory dead pool postings that I cross post here (for no other reason than to keep my post counter moving). This is one of them about Shamil Basayev, Chechen Warlord - who, unfortuneately is not dead yet. Only 8 more postings to do.
Show the rest of the story...Celebrating Father's Day - June 16, 2006
While some fathers will be celebrating this weekend with breakfast in bed, relaxing at the one day you don't have to do anything, I'll be waking up in a cheap hotel room with 8 hours of gas guzzling with 2 toddlers still to be done to reach my destination. Granted, it's family time, a chance to reconnect with stimulating conversation and beautiful scenary. Still, given a choice, I'd rather be golfing.
Over the last two days I've found two articles worthy of attention. The first article was written by a woman about how men should be appreciated. Here's a key quote:
When women marry, we get things that we want and value. We get the opportunity to become mothers. We get a home, our nest for our little ones. What do men get? They get the right to throw themselves on a live grenade for the protection of their families.
I don't feel underappreciated personally, but I really enjoyed the article.
The second article is one man's rememberances of his long since passed away father. The writer was only 6 when his father passed away, essentially growing up without one. My Dad died when I was 29 - a big difference - so many of the thoughts in the article don't apply to me.
But what did hit home was this:
I hope you’re proud of the man I’ve turned out to be, Dad. I’ve tried so hard to always do what’s right. I’ve tried even harder to be a good Dad myself. Everytime I hold those beautiful babies of mine somewhere, in the back of my mind, I think will this be the last time I hold them? If nothing, you leaving me has taught me to take nothing for granted - especially being a father.
Nice. somebody get me a tissue!
Celebrating Death - June 08, 2006
The cross-posting of my Dead Pool obligatory posts here on this site has left many of my loyal readers (both of you) unfulfilled - not to mention my overall lack of posting. But today loyal readers, it is a day of celebration.
AP: Most-wanted Iraq terrorist al-Zarqawi dead
That, in and of itself is worthy for joy. However, he was also on my roster.
That's four scores for me this year - Louis Rukeyser, Don Knotts, Lloyd Bentsen, and now Zarqawi, boosting me into 2nd place overall - however, quite a ways out of first, but still ahead of Dead Pool legend Hal Horn.
Sweeeeet
However, I've got 9 obligatory posts to do before the end of the month.
