Month: September 2018

  • My weekend?

    Decided on a trip to the VA Creeper. Planned a scout meeting. Flooded a house. Cleaned a house. Flooded it again. Programmed. Replaced two shutoff valves with ball valves. Continued my pursuit to learn how to grow food inside. Documented issues for a client. Hung out with a dozen, half-naked cool people. Played with fire. Knocked holes in the drywall. Gutted a fandangled washing machine. Visited Home Depot 3 times and Lowe’s once. Made my first ever Aldi purchase. Dwelt with some personal politics. Read a book with my son. Programmed some more. Killed a hornets’ nest. Balanced books. Created invoices. And cooked meals for a week.

    Typical.

  • Tears of a Parent aka Oh How I Cry

    My children may never know
    How many tears I shed for them
    Tears of joy for their successes
    Tears of sadness when they are down
    Tears of regret for my mistakes
    Tears of anguish at my shortcomings
    Tears of frustration for lack of time
    Tears of angst for their future
    Tears of confusion when they do not listen
    Tears of acknowledgment that they walk their own path
    Tears of befuddlement for making the simple hard
    Tears of acceptance for innocence lost
    Tears of pride for the compliments they receive
    Tears of satisfaction when they smile at their achievements
    Tears of ecstasy seeing them grow into independent adults
