Happy New Year

I am just saying Happy New Year now, so when I forget later you can't give me grief.
Also, best wishes to the family of James Brown.

Picture of Cheese

This was going to be a picture of cheese but the photo would not upload.
So, I decided to try and upload some funny cars I photographed while driving. Here again the photos will not come along as requested. They may just want to take more time than I am willing to allow so it is your loss as they were all great and interesting pictures. Maybe some other time.

Server is Down

Our server is down. It is much like having a sub in the 3rd grade. I would be better off at home as I am doing very little, as everything I could be doing would require being on the server.

Such is my burden.

We missed KRS10's birthday part last weekend. Happy 30th!! We wanted to go, but both grandmothers had Christmas parties to attend and were unavailable. It seems like all had a good time.

We went to a baby shower for Powers and Brandy. Actually the Mrs and the Younger went to the shower. I went with Powers to play pool. It was such a macho thing to do that while playing pool I had a burger and drank draft light beer. Sometimes I like to be a dude.

Here is a funny story. On Thanksgiving I called to talk to my mother and sister and wish them well. When I was done talking with my sister she said something nice in salutation and I said, "thank you". I did not think about it much, but the Mrs and the sister of Mrs were a gasp. I guess I should have reciprocated in kind and that, "thank you" was not a good way to end a call. Who knew?

I am often times confounded by the relationship I have with my family. Not the Mrs and the Younger, but my mom and sister and those types. I mean I do love them in my own way, and wish them nothing but the best, and generally I care for them. I just have some blockage that keeps me from getting all emotional about them. And the further away on the family tree, the less trouble I have noting the blockage to the point where I am not too concerned about them. I have a truck load of cousins and aunts and so on that I just can't make room for in my limited circle of caring.

I don't wish them ill, nor I am overly rude to them when I am guilted into seeing them at some function or another, but in large I am not interested in seeing them at all. I don't care what they are doing, and I don't want them to care about me.

I think this must have something to do with my childhood. I wish I figure out a way to sue my 1st grade teacher for this but don't have any reason to blame Mrs Bibler, so I will go on as before dreading the next time I have to see these people.
