I think I’m going to sign off, take a shower, and chill for the rest of the night. _ **MWAH!!** _ ---

My package from Amazon arrived today; 2nd day instead of the usual cheap way we paid for. Which means it passed through where I work. Which means I get to good-nature-dly bust the chops of whatever coworker had the low side of G lane yesterday. Not a bad deal at all! ---

The one thing I honestly related to old age had finally come to pass. That was more years ago than I like to admit but the pain is still there. **Rubel** , it could be worse, I got bifocals in second grade. When you are myopic, Presbyptiric and have astigmatism, you need glasses to find your glasses. My dear wife says I’m no fun to go skinny-dipping with. (rotates hands) I reply “Braille dear!” ---

Yesterday, we went to the zoo, for the birthday. And we went to outback for din-din. It was fun. My son, who can be a bit rigid, started off the day with a list of animals, and woe betide anyone who fell behind. By the time we reached the baboons, he had mellowed. He just sat and watched, and then started telling stories about the troop. It was a nice day. I figure we’ll celebrate our anniversary again when my son goes to college. 😛 Tomorrow Sunny-son starts a new school. ---

And let the kid know (and I know I’m setting myself up with this one) that baboons are my favorite too. ---
