off on monday

I enjoy being off as much as the next person. I had big plans for the kids and my beautiful wife. We were going to take the boy to the beach. Well adventure 1 was not fun for all involved. Sam was not thrilled with the beach at all. After coming home from school and a brief lunch out as a family a much needed rest provided fun for all at the old swimming pool. You know long weekends can become extended honey-do-lists, but sometimes it is just more fun to do whatever whenever. It is so simple

Thank you to my wife

I have been very lazy here recently, but I have to say thank you to my wife. She was wonderful when the kids were visiting family and we had such a wonderful time being able to re-connect and spend time going new places and trying new things. It was also wonderful when the kids came home and we were a whole family again, but for just those few days it was nice being a couple, a party of two, a pair. Now we are a whole family again and I am more appreciative of my wife then ever. So plainly: Thank you Meg you are great!

Calvin's Birthday

Today was my cousins birthday and it was bittersweet for me. I for those of you who do not know my uncle died the day before Christmas last year and I have not spoken of it much but that is for another day. I so enjoy my cousin and his family and today was strange because at his party my aunt was there and I have expected to see him, but alas I he did not. The party was a great time for all, but my Aunt Donna without Uncle Dave was very different. I don't want this to be a sad post, but I do miss the man. I decided today that being lazy about visiting family this close is simply unacceptable and it is time I do better for my kids, wife, and my sake. So, I maybe out more often on Saturday's and Sunday's for now on.

Some observations

I have a simple observation - I just don't blog that much I don't feel that I have much to say about things. I have tried in the past to be witty, critical, mystical, magnificant and I don't do any well. So I made some changes I have decided to just make simple observations about things that make me pause to think so I changed the name of my blog to reflect what I think I will do more often.

Things in these crazy times can be so simple if you let them just be simple as an example I have observed a whole bunch of people running around trying to save their own job, but did not do anything for their employees and you know what I kind of think that is the correct thing to do. Now before you go off the deep end keep in mind that in every job I can think of everyone wants to be the one who comes out on top (or at least does not want to be the last one out) and that being the case if your company has laid you off or gone under or has done nothing illegal with the TARP funds and you are upset over the way they have handled themselves then take your knowledge go into business for yourself and start a business. Give them some competion. Do you realize that econmically speaking every recession or depression has caused more growth in industry over the 5 years following the start of the slide and many of those company's maintained existence for the next 15. All this despite the governments attempts to fix things (folks they fix nothing).

So here is my simple observation - if you are complaning about your company doing stupid things and you got the shaft 1, 2, or even 5 years from retirement I am with you try to get as much money from the company as you can shore up your own savings and be responsible for your self, but honestly most of you would retire around 55-65 depending and would not be able to sit at home with nothing to do for more than a year anyways so get out there and get a job or start a business. For all you people my age or younger quit your bitchin and do the same who cares about the stock market now. I watch my 401k go down down down and you know what in 30 years when I retire I will care, but now why? It's not like I can take the money out and avoid a 10% tax and additonal bank penalties. Go on with your life and hold the politicans accountable in 2010 for bailing out these companies and making $1 Trillion dollars appear out of thin air becuase clearly they are not respenting our interests.

These are my new simple observations.
