Fuzzy

My head feels clouded today. The sky is overcast. I have no clear mission for the day. Seems like I have 100 little things that I need to do for other people. I have not heard a word back since my interview and that disappoints me as I was/am thrilled with the company. Christmas lurks. I want to be working on the house. And time keeps on ticking…

Oh, speaking of fuzzy, Tommy likes Pink Floyd, as he should, so last night the other kids were away so Tommy got to see The Wall (wikipedia entry) for the first time. As Cathy and I watched it with him, I had this strange realization that last night was possibly the first time I have ever seen the movie sober. I have a list of things that I almost did. Rather than regret not doing this things I remember them to prevent hesitation in future opportunities. One of my big almosts came in 1990 when I had passport in hand, credit card at the ready, and I almost flew to Germany to see Roger Waters perform Pink Floyd’s The Wall in celebration of The Berlin Wall being torn down.

Cathy gets eBay – really well!

So, Cathy has this collection of Rodney Reindeers from Hallmark. They have been discontinued. We had 6 but now there are seven people in the family. I offer to help her find one more but she wants to take care of it. Several days pass and I hear nothing about it so I decide to take some initiative and check eBay. Rodney has about 85 auctions. I exuberantly relay the information to Cathy who responds with, "shutup!"

Apparently Cathy discovered Rodney on eBay on her own. And lost her first auction. In an effort to not lose again, she bid on 6 auctions! She won 3 of them. So, if the number of Rodneys are supposed to match the number of people in house, Cathy had better get to work because it appears we need to more than double the size of the household.
