There is a time in your life when you realize that there are just no brain cells left upstairs anymore.
Since the children started walking I would hide things on the high shelf. Well, I haven’t been to rehab yet, but I have been fighting an abnormally strong craving for chocolate. Consequently, I hide my satisfying little chocolate bars in a box on the top shelf in the pantry. I have always wondered why they turn up missing. I mean, who is going to bother to look that high? Dumb me. So while I am in there wondering what happened, my 6ft 6inch son walks in and literally looks down at my box.
Ok. You do not talk religion or politics when operating a business. So one of my customers brought up what is going on in Washington, before he had a chance to get far in the conversation, the person with him starts to get upset. I mean he got really upset. After about a minute of listening to him before he calmed down, I realized I had no idea what side he was on. Interesting that both sides are so upset with the other side, you literally can not have an open conversation about it anymore.

So the other day I pick up one of those baked chickens at Food Max. You know those really good chickens where they season the outer part so the skin is darkened and has a lot of flavor. When I do this I usually put it in the refrigerator until dinner time when I reheat it. So, I go to pull it out of the fridge, take off the plastic cover, and much to my amazement (and it really shouldn’t be by now), the chicken is white. How can that be, until I realized someone, had picked off every piece of skin.
I am going to become a fatty. I have hired a baker at FlapJacks to make some fun and fattening things.
We are going to makes cookies, scones, pies, and pastries.
First I am going to get a scale and weigh all of us now and then we will check back in a year and weigh us all again. We will give out a prize to the one who has gained the most weight.

A wonderful story concerning one of my darling children.
A few weeks ago, my daughter who is now off to college, calls me too say she has a problem.
“Dad, I locked my keys in the car and I need to call AAA.” “Where are you”, I asked?
“ I can’t tell you”, she replies. Hmmm. I say. “Ok, how am I supposed to help you”?
“Just give me AAA’s number and I will call”. “OK, fine”.
So I give it to her. Ten minutes go by and she calls back,
“They need you here before they will to come unlock the car”. “Ok, where are you”
Long Pause
“The pot dispensary”.

Sometimes you wonder if there really is a God and sometimes you get answers.
Last week I kiddingly told you of how I would like to call a military recruiter to come and take my kids away and then this really happens...
This morning my daughter comes down with her phone on speaker. She was talking
to Officer Sam from the Navy. It seems that Officer Sam was trying to recruit my daughter.
I am going back to church because my prayers have been answered.
