It's my 50th today!

I've been avoiding it like the Rockets have been avoiding the playoffs. Yes, the truth, it's coming. It must be done and there's nothing I can do about it. Yes, its my 50th. Makes me seem older by the day. No, its not my 50th birthday. That too is not too far around the corner but I get to wait another whole year for that one. I'll be 49 come July. This is 50th blog. I can't figure out if its something to celebrate or If I've made some kind of milestone or what. Our trip to the land down under upped my numbers considerably. Another trip sounds awfully good but I can't do it just now. Easter is virtually here. Another LTC weekend. How long have I been doing LTc on Easter weekend? Not sure. A long time no doubt. As hard a weekend as it is, I really look forward to it. The drens will all be in and we can't wait for that. I just made that up since the oldest calls us the rents. We haven't made G-rents yet so I guess we'll just remain the rents for now.

When that does happen, and I'm not pushing for it, then the drens become the rents and we become something else. Is that suppose to happen before or after 50? Who knows? When its supposed to happen. But when you get my age, you start thinking about what you'll be called when it does come. I think I've decided on G-pa. Any thoughts. I had to write it down so I won't forget it. I am closing in on 50 you know! The bride took me to see the Stros twice over the weekend. The weather was beautiful, the baseball, well, better game 2 than game 1 on Saturday when the Nats struck and wouldn't leave us alone. I hate nats. There, I made it. My 50th blog. Happy anniversary.

Drens all, see you soon!

So Much to Say, So little time

I thought of a bunch of things to blog about today with so little time to really do any of them justice. There's life after our trip to Australia but the whole International date line thing was really different. I'm not sure why so much different than going the other way but it was quite different than going to Romania. Or I could talke about the Houston Rockets, not really, they're just pretending. Or the start of the Houston Astros season. I'm not sure which is more exciting, winning a 1 run game on a wild pitch or getting stomped the next night 11-something. It's a long season, I know. Or the Texans, who are quietly working their tails off to improve. Even though they won't take Young and I don't think they should, are going to be vastly improved, but who couldn't improve on 2-19 or whatever it was. They will be better all around. What about Cooperstown or Louisville, which will it be, who knows? Ask Jas about those.

Or, its Easter season, perhaps the strangest of seasons in my particular line of work. We worship the fact but refuse the holiday. Some days I still don't understand. Oh well, theres LTC coming and all the good it does. The childs are all coming in and we really look forward to that. I really truly am a positive person, I really am. Too much to do now. Gotta go. Next blog will be my 50th. Who knows when and what it will be.
