Preparing For Battle
by Steve West on December 12, 2010
Yesterday, I saw the first flakes of snow of this winter season. Today, I bought a new shovel.
Brenda and I are preparing for a new house purchase this spring. It's about 50/50 if it will happen. The point being, the more winters I go through here (DC - Home of the Snowpacolypse), the stronger my arguments are to move to Florida.
"But I like Olivia's school, my family is so close, I moved from California to be here"...(whine, bitch, moan). Brenda's arguments, valid as they may be, don't get my spine re-aligned. I hope she noted the snow blower that was on my Christmas list.

I have today and tomorrow scheduled off from work (unrelated to any on-the-job sarcasm). I haven't requested two days in a row off from work since last summer, I think. So I treated myself to a couple of midweek vacation days to R & R. Go »Special Olympics 2011
"Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." The Special Olympics motto still brings a tear to my eye. Go »Steve's Supermarket Adventure (Cont'd)

I had a very strange thing happen to me this morning. Overnight, I had a dream that featured my ex-wife, Betsy. I told Brenda about it and wondered what the image of Betsy represented in my subconscious that made me wake with such a clear image of her. Go »Vanity Plates
Although a few are a little crude, many of these vanity plates are clever and funny. I've never had a desire to acquire one myself but I do admire a good one when I see it on the road. My personal favorite is "PLAN AHE". Go »

If there's anything I can do from here to help, just ask. The collapse of the housing market has left a lot of nice houses here for fairly cheap. Florida is wonderful this time of year, but then it's wonderful just about all year.
