And why shouldn't I ...
... be awake and posting on my blog before 7 am Sunday. Went to bed early last night. That means I got up early.
Random stuff: Bought a hatchet yesterday and despite the rain went out in my woods and started to clear. A hatchet helps with the small limbs, though I ended up hacking away just for the heck of it on some big limbs. Also broke out the chainsaw. Felled another tree, a pretty big one that had broken at the trunk about 12 feet up. The broken part was still attached and it looked like hell. But I was able to cut the thing up. Need a sharper loop on my saw... I think I burned the trunk down from friction :) Slowly making progress on the property and so far my back is holding up.
Meanwhile, here's what a 19-year-old receptionist at work said to me Thursday when she saw me wearing a "Seton Hall University" sweatshirt. "Seton Hall? Is that where your kids go to school?" Tres amuson. She started to backpedal ("I mean, where you went to college"), but shit, no one ever correctly guessed that I could have college-age kids before. (By the way, she's 19 but has a one or two year old kid.) Maybe I should retire the sweatshirt. Is it wrong for a 41-year-old man to wear an alma mater sweatshirt if he's not at a basketball game or retired? I tend to wear whatever I want. Friends of mine have heard this story and are giving me a hard time now ...
So that bride in Georgia ran away to New Mexico, lied to her family about being kidnapped, made the national news, and blew off 600 of her family and friends, not to mention threw away the money laid out for the wedding. And now the wedding is "postponed." Postponed?
