There’s an old saying that there is always two things you can count on, death and taxes. Well thankfully number two, taxes, are the one due this coming Thursday. As bad as they are, they sure beat death, right? Oh well, gotta keep the govt funded so they can keep wisely spending our money. (sarcasm of course)
Today Ty has a birthday party and I think Jag is going on a hike. Yesterday Ty was at his friend Sam’s house until a little after 4 pm. Meanwhile Jag went on a mountain bike ride and Lori and I hit Home Depot and the grocery store. I managed to get some 1 inch thick insulation up in the garage and we also put it up on the downstairs sliding glass door near Jag’s room. We don’t ever use that door anyhow and it’ll let a lot of cold in and heat escape. We then put up some thermal curtains on that door and over Jag’s windows in his bedroom. Then Lori cleaned up the basement and it’s now cleaner that it’s ever been.
Yesterday afternoon Auntie Kristin (from L.A.) interviewed Jag for a documentary she is making on kids views on our Country and politics. We let Jag do this in private so he’d be as candid as he wanted. It was centered around politics and issues like immigration, gun control, the economy, Presidential candidates, etc. After the call Lori called Kristin and she said Jag did amazing but did say that her and Jag are on opposite side of the spectrum politically on some issues. We were happy to hear this as most people in Los Angeles are pretty democratic, disconnected and brainwashed, in our opinion. Kristin said she needed some kids out side of Hollyweird as they all say the same thing, too funny. Kristin also said she was amazed how well of a grasp Jag had on all the candidates and the issues saying she had no clue about anything when she was 13. My how times have changed but then again Jag is smarter than a lot of people out there.
We’re supposed to go to Dr. C’s to watch the Bronco game today but will have to work around the kids schedule, what’s new. Jag is supposed to start with the Nordic Prep Team (dry land training) Â this coming week but we still need to work out the finances with that. As I said earlier, we have taxes which are a bit higher than expected. Maybe our $2 lottery ticket is a winner!
I woke up to 65 degrees in the house so I just turned the heat on for the first time this year. It’s now 6:30 and everyone except me and you know who, is still asleep. Guess I’ll run so I can get back to Home Depot and buy a cover for the air conditioner as we won’t need that anymore until next summer.
God Bless.
