Now 50% Older!

Jason turns 6 today, making him about 50% older than in the photograph. And no, we do not get snow this early in October (the photo is from mid-December-2005).

Happy Birthday, Jason! Enjoy it while the # is that low! I've already passed my 25 X 2 #!
Hope your daddy takes a picture today so he can post it when you're 12.
Enjoy your cake and presents.

I think he had a pretty good day - although I was not there.

The mornign started with me calling at 07:00 and playing a game of HOT or COLD with him to find his present. He got a Spiderman backpack, a Spiderman MegaBlocks set (just think Lego), and a Spiderman board game. Along with a Spiderman birthday card. Sofia bought him a small cake and we will have a fuller celebration this weekend when various family members meet at my sister's to do a Thanksgiving / Birthday celebration.

MOI: not so much the movies as the 1960's cartoon ( actually, I am not aware of him having watched the movies more than once each). He is much more into Power Rangers (but that has its own problems with him wanting to act out action moves).

ghee: thanks!

Of retirement and death

-
All I long for, all I have longed for for years is to retire (prior to wanting to retire, my ambition was to play). Given a chance not to work, I would take it. However, this is not because of laziness or some inherent trait of sloth. Rather it is because I want to pursue my own interests and ideas; I want to do my own thing. One of the saddest things I find in talking with people about not working (aside from obvious disapproval) is that they like working, they would get bored not working, after all, there is only so much TV one can watch. Hmmm ... a pretty sad comment I think. I have a mind full of ideas. There are lots of things which grab my interest, which distract me as I journey through life. Finding what I want to do is hard., because every week I can have a new thing I want to pursue. Some might argue that I am not disciplined. Definitely, I am a poor finisher - great starter, but lousy finisher. I believe I have found what my ideal job would be: owning and running an incubato

Half-and-half

Borrowing and modifying an idea from Ingrid , I present 14 bits of information about myself. Seven are real. Seven are false. This is also partially inspired by Carra 's post about weird things about herself. When I was into model rocketry, I used to roll my own rocket engines and make my own rocket fuel. I often had "catastrophic" engine failure. I have never been intoxicated. Not even a little bit "happy". I have had the privilege and pleasure of going out with women from every continent except Antarctica (for the obvious reason there are no indigenous Antarcticans). I volunteered one Christmas at a soup kitchen. I naively believed that such simple acts of generosity helped people over temporary setbacks until they could get back on their feet. The reality was these people were pretty wretched and needed far more than a ladled bowl of soup, a slice of turkey, some stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce to get them "over the hump". It was a sta
