The real one

Missing church to go have another shot at birth. Feels like the real deal. Sounds like it anyway. Feels the same to me. Still need a middle name, Laverne.

Immortal Frodo

I was listening to my tiny collection of homemade songs last night, lamenting the poor singing, but satisfied with the music more often than not. I heard on the radio this morning, an interview with Paul Simon's son who is putting out his first (I think) solo album at the age of 37. Made me wonder if time will ever allow me to sit and write and record some songs. Or at least record some music for other people's lyrics. It's still a dream. I think it may come to pass before too long. It's easy to broadcast yourself these days.

Mercenary for hire

One time in a book I read (after my brother told me how cool it was) they mentioned "soldier of fortune" magazine. I thought that was silly. Then one day I saw a copy of it at hyvee. I bought it. It was pretty silly, but obviously taken seriously by someone. Guys who leave the military and don't know how to do anything else. Of people who like to fight, maybe. Then I remember hearing about Blackwater over in Iraq. Soldiers of fortune working for our government. Bizarre line of work if you ask me.
Anyway, I was thinking the etymology of freelance was from a similar circumstance. A hired gun maybe. I'm working on a web design project and finding it to be just as much work as anything else. Plus a bit more frustrating while I'm low on the learning curve yet again.

Happy Halloween

We had a good beggar's night last night. Visited friends and family, and took the car so we wouldn't freeze. Korbin was a pirate, and Asher stayed with grandma and grandpa G. Today is busy and laid back at the same time. If I drink enough coffee, I can stay ahead of events. Rapping like cassidy

Flock

I heard a lot of birds fly over our house this morning. As I was leaving for work, I heard them flying the other way. I looked out the window and saw them in a great swarming cloud, flying over the trees.
I think we will have a baby soon. I'm feeling stressed about it. Not prepared for the labor and birth. Not prepared for bringing another child home. I'm looking forward to the end of pregnancy, however. The anticipation starts to fray the nerves after awhile.

Zebras libras

Korbin and I are reading a cool book at bedtimes. It's the something something of Hugo Cabret. Very cool pictures, and a good mystery. Korbin has a bit of trouble keeping focused on the plot, but we review the previous night's highlights before moving on, so he's getting it.
I am also re-reading one of my all time favorite books, Neuromancer. When i'm done with that I have a few more on deck. Never ending.

Brand new

It's wonderful to learn a better way of doing the things you have to do every day. Well, I think so. Let's say this... It's wonderful to REALIZE that there is a better way, and then to use it. Sometimes I am told it is better, but don't agree.
Plus I am getting a haircut today!
