Standing By to Stand By

I came in this morning, after I dropped off Little Bit, to write a nice long note. During our ride Little Bit asked me a very serious question.

Sadly, I haven't the time, and if truth be known, the will to write of the conversation since I should give it due consideration.

I'm tired. My sleep isn't all that peaceful to begin with, and business (thank God) has increased proportionally with the Christmas music and hung Holly.

The reason I'm able to post this note, you ask - my door is locked and I'm still at work on my first cup of coffee. So, please bear with me for a few weeks.

I will make an attempt, as time allows, to post little items as the day wears on, no promises. I must admit, Little Bit's question chews at me; I should write it before the conversation fades. Nothing bad, just a serious question from a rather serious little girl. I have taken a few written notes.




Take care.

Bits & Pieces

Chester Raccoon has ridden with us these last few mornings. Chester is Little Bit's new friend. A few weeks back I'd ordered her the series of books in which Chester and his mother serve as the main characters. She reads me one every day on our ride to school. Chester's a cool dude.

Anyway, when we reached the half-way mark of our ride, along the marshes of the river, Little Bit looks up from her book just in time to see a flock of Canada geese wing south as an even larger flock of seven or eight Herons fly north. It was beautiful, the contrast....she said, "Oh, Papa, look, an illustration from my books."

Never underestimate the intelligence of a child.



If you get a moment and have the time, click here: Penn Jillette gets it. - Imgur. This link was sent to me by my beautiful niece, Hannah. She's a bright and extremely conservative young woman. And, as you can tell she takes after me....thanks, Hannah, and now it's blush time...are your ready....I love you.

I'm sorry for the light posts of late, aside from the fact I've been preoccupied with other matters in my life, my computers mouse is giving me fits....about ready to sling it against the wall. Rusty, my computer geek, said I need to purchase a new one. I reminded him its almost brand new...said, "They don't last forever."

It's less than six months old. Guess they just don't make them like they used to, you know, back a year or so ago.

My office is all nice and clean again. Makes me feel like a new man....I can turn and not get whacked in the knee, twist an ankle, stumble over a box. Anyone want a batch of used brass....I found four sacks and a one pound coffee can full. I have brass up to my ears.

Hey, gotta run...business awaits, and I need to jerk another cup of coffee. Take care.
