One thing I just remembered that I don’t like doing is mowing the lawn. I used to do it all the time but lately I just don’t want to do it anymore! I think it’s time that I teach my son responsibility and so I’ll give him a few lessons in lawn care. That will be nice!!
One thing that I have been thinking about is how much my life has changed over the last many years. I saw some old pictures of me from my high school days and its funny how much different I looked. I had long hair and a typical teenage attitude. My, how far I’ve come.
Nowadays, I am a typical office worker. I go to work and get home at about the same time every day. I guess I’m a slave to the grind, but my life is pretty good so I don’t complain too much. It would be nice though to relive a few of my older days. What fun it would be!!
I love the fact that spring is almost here. The weather has been getting nicer and nicer lately and I am ready to get out of the house! I have a lot of yard work to do and I am itching to get started. I like being outdoors and getting things done.
The winter was long this year and it really took a toll on my house. I have a few boards that need repair on my fence as well as a few shingles that have come loose. I guess I’ll have plenty to do before next winter sets in!
One little known American hero is named Oliver Hazard Perry. He was the hero of the battle of Lake Erie against the British. His mantra was “Don’t give up the ship” that remains the standard of the U.S. Navy today. The problem was that his ship was wrecked and sunk when he hit a reef off the coast of Westerly.
The remains of the ship have finally been found. By two divers named Charles Buffin and Craig Harger. The divers have found numerous cannons as well as metal objects, shot, and an anchor. I herald this discovery as a great piece of American history has been brought back to life.
I must say that I was very incredulous when I heard the T.V. evangelist Pat Robertson told his “700 Club” that the penalties for marijuana possession were to harsh. Pat made the statement on air to his audience. He said that treating offenders would be a better option.
Some people claim that he was endorsing the legalization of pot but his spokesmen denied the claim. He was simply saying that using pot was wrong but that spending years in jail was not correct. I believe we will have to wait for further clarification on the issue.
