Sad, but true, man. That's why I've been gone so much these days. Gina's been too sick to do much of anything. So I've been trying to keep things running.

Yeah, that'd be all right wit me.

Yeah, I guess sleep is over now, right? I never was much a fan of it, to be honest. I get about 5-6 hours on a typical night. I guess I'll get even less now. :)

When you say "light beer",

When you say "light beer", is the light beer up there like in the US or is it less alcohol?

I remember we meet up with a few folks from down under and when my buddy came out with a case of light beer they were like," why the hell did you buy light beer?". Come to find out "light beer" over there meant less alcohol. ;)

LMAO! Those mini kegs are the best! I'm in love! They are a perfect evening for two people on a work night. I went out to a friends last night and we drank a mini keg. Those things are smart! They let you know when it's time to go home by spitting foam out...LOL! Otherwise we would have had a couple of more beers. But, the Heineken mini keg knows best. When I get enough of them I'm going to build a padel boat out of them for me and my daughter.

I'm Happy for You and your Wife

Becoming a father radically changed my life for the better. There hasn't been an age yet where my son hasn't brought real joy to our lives. Mine drives, is 5 inches taller than me, has a big circle of friends, yet he still comes to me for help; and often to have fun.

You are in for a great ride.

:^)

They are a blast. Mine are still young'uns but just the other day me family-inlaw were placing bets to see which of the two kids would be the first to drive a car through the garage. ;)

Mine is going to be a teenager soon! She started talking about boys and I showed her my gun and made her name it....LOL! Having a daughter is tough man! Boys are easier at this age because you only have one penis to worry about.... with a girl you have to worry about them all! She asked If I was going to shoot every boy she goes on a date with. I said "No Honey, I just have to shoot that first one, the rest will leave you alone after that".

Well our daughter is already

Well our daughter is already talkin' 'bout boys. Just the other week she was talking to Grandma and says, "I like Kodi the best but when he is mean I hate him and then I like Jack better." Not to mention she has both boys warped around her finger and runnin' around in dresses. Kodi is one of her best freinds but when she met him he would spit and hit. I told her what to do if the teachers did not help and one day she poped him squar in the mouth with a swift right hook and he has behaved ever since. He is still mean to the other kids but the two of them together rule the play yard.

As for when she starts dating, I'm kinda thinkin' like Dave. Except when the boy shows up he'll have to come inside and chat as I and a buddy of mine (he could scare the devil himself just by the way he looks) clean the shotguns while chewin' tobacco in the "Dungeon". ;)

Typical, everyday

Typical, everyday conversation with the Princess;

Princess, "Daddy, can we buy THAT (toy/truck/motorcycle/jewelry/shoes)?"

Dad , "No sugarplumb. Not today plus it is very expensive."

Princess, "Well thats ok, I like expensive so can we get it?"

Dad, "No."

Princess, "Well, can I buy it?"

Dad, "When you have the money honey you buy what ever your heart desires."

Princess, "Daddy"

Dad, "Yes sugarplumb."

Princess, "Can you give me some money so I can buy that toy?"

Dad, Starts laughing and does not respond and then, "When you start working and earning your own money you can buy it or better yet, go ask Grandma and Grandpa."

Princess, "Ok. Thanks. I will ask them tonight."

And every now and then she will throw in, "Well, then can we buy it for Kodiak?", knowing that he will not use it and it will end up being hers anyways.
