Good Morning Vietnam

I was going to just write “good morning” but when I thought of that in my head, “Good Morning Vietnam” popped up! I don’t know if you remember but that was the title of the great Robin Williams movie from probably a good 20 years ago. He was a radio dj in Vietnam. It also had Louis Armstrong singing “What a Wonderful World” in the soundtrack. Oh well, just a little history lesson for you to throw you off your game.

Before I forget, which we often do, here’s a quote from the youngest yesterday when he was getting dropped off for school. Our routine is they get out of the car and both tell me they love me and I tell them I love them too and to have a great day. Well yesterday the youngest said, and I quote, “love you dad, I’m going to save some lives and be a leader”! Now we’re not sure where that came from, he’s always coming up with something clever. After school I asked him if he in fact did save some lives and was a leader to which he replied, “sure did”. Meanwhile we heard from the misses friend, (who has kids in both of our kids classes) that her daughter told her what a great guy the oldest is and how he’s always standing up for her and protecting her when other kids are jerks. It seems when some of the boys tease her or other kids, it’s always Jag who comes to the rescue by telling them to knock it off. Good stuff, what great parents we are!

So no one liked or commented on our targets yesterday. The misses and I were just shocked but nothing much surprises us anymore. I guess maybe everyone (all of you) are already desensitized and don’t think it’s a big deal. Oh well, to us it’s just crazy.

Now here’s the big news of the day, we think, maybe, just maybe, the misses headache is going away! For the past few days it’s been maybe a 3 out of 10 which is the first time it’s been that low on the pain threshold in 14 months. We’re holding our breath hoping it continues to get better. We’re driving up to Vail tomorrow at 7am (what fun on a Saturday) for a treatment with the top acupuncture guy there is. Johnny is the guy who referred us to the guy down here until he could squeeze us in as he was booked up for two months. (I told you this a few posts ago) She just came down and said its ok, she has a little bit of a headache but it’s better than it’s been.

We had our Skype call yesterday for the misses new job (I sat in as an unpaid consultant) and then dropped by the office to pick up some things she needed. I’m not sure what she has going on today but I’ll be here and there. It’s 13 degrees outside and feels great. I love the cold weather every now and then.

Ok, time to go, here’s your quote for the day, enjoy.

“Participating in a gun buyback program because you believe that the criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you believe that the neighbors have too many kids.”
