Twelve weeks ago my oldest son graduated from high school.
Small break down on my part with the realization that I had a son as old I as thought I still was...
So after I got over the realization that indeed I was almost 40 years old, I decided to kick my ass in gear.
I had 12 weeks of traveling for my job quickly approaching - leaving home on Mondays, coming home on Thursday evenings. It's fun in the beginning.
So...I had a son getting ready to go to college, 12 weeks of traveling and then on top of it all - I decided to grow out my hair and quit smoking.
Yes, I am fucking nuts, thank you. =) But I did it!!
Therefore I now have a supply of little umbrellas for my drinks so I can celebrate when ever I want to.
I am also looking very forward to my next self challenge.
Stay tuned... *evil grin*
Stay tuned... *evil grin*
Just for fun... surely you all remember Cheers!
Cliff expounds his "Buffalo Theory" to Norm:
“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
