Ugghhh, midnights...



Went to Kingsport Fun Fest and did 8 hours of fun weather presentations for kids all day, and then drove back to a meeting a the Morristown Chamber of Commerce for two hours, all in all 12 hours on my day off. One of the kids in a class was 6, she was going into first grade, and was a much more pudgy version of Olivia. She was smart as a whip, knew what she wanted and even knew some cloud names. I was laughing out loud at her. I finally said, "You are the cutest thing, you know that?" She turned all red and hid her face. Of course, Olivia would have said, "Yes, I know. It's because I'm going to be a paleontologist."

Went back home got to bed about 7:30 pm, slept badly until about 10 pm, then got up and rode my bike 15 miles to Farristown, KY. It's near Buggytown, Paint Lick, Whites, and Happy Landing. It was a tough ride, but I did watch Repo Men on tv, a reality show about repo-ing cars from derelict owners. It's a good show. I'd like to do that, actually. Either that or serve subpoenas or summonses to people. I think that would be fun. It's part acting, part investigation work, part intimidation. Since my facebook application says I'd make a good New Jerseyian, then I think I'd do well.

I miss my family. I always have fun for two days, sitting around in my underwear eating, watching whatever I want, belching, farting, you know. But then, it gets old. I mean, you can do all that in the Terrestrial Kingdom, but you have no family to do it with. So I'd rather have my family and give up all that. If I have to.

Ok, better get back to work. If I have time and can think of something more interesting to write about, I'll add more.
