What I Should Get K for VD
The only way I would ever buy tickets for Karen & I to spend Valentine's Day 2020 at a Lamb of God is if I wanted Karen to leave me. <GRIN>

Editor's Note: Future prhmusic, remember how cool & fun it is to view source code? You do that a lot in Karen's office. Was that too subtle?

Damn! We're All Hypocrites, Right? Part II
From this article - freebeacon.com/issues/menendez-calls-chain-migration-obscene-dehumanizing-term-month-after-using-it - comes the sad news that we, human beings, are hypocrites:
I didn't put this on the "Get Your Political Opinions 4.0" page because today is Ash Wednesday and it's the beginning of Lent. Jesus spent his time on Earth with the hypocrites. See the connection?

VD
I think this is funny, but your opinion may differ.
It was 18 years ago today, 2 days into working at my very first TWing job, that 2/14/95 arrived and I failed as a husband.
For whatever reason, I didn't make it to the store to get even a card for my wife. I remember that night and it wasn't one of my finer moments. You see, only 7 years earlier, 2/14/89, Karen and I had restarted our relationship. Now, 7 years later, I had failed her.
This AM, as soon as I woke up, I gave Karen my card, which included a gift card to a new nails place that she had mentioned she wanted to try out sometime. I listened to her, I got her a thoughtful gift. And it's not just me that believes that:
She didn't remember that it was 18 years ago today that I had not gotten her anything.
My mother has dementia. I can't quote Karen's reply verbatim but it amounted to that she didn't think I needed to worry about getting Alzheimer's because I was able to remember VD 18 years ago. I remember because, I guess, I tend to remember dates that are not my finest moments. Off the top of my head:
It will kind of make up for the fact that, tonight, after supper, I am taking Alex and three of his friends to the Iowa Women's basketball game at Carver. Karen has no desire to go and Megan is working her normal 6-10 shift at Fareway. I've said that I would much rather spend VD with my wife than at a basketball game without her. The game starts at 7 so the journey to Carver begins at 6:15. The women *do* play PSU and I expect a good game since PSU is ranked #8 in the country. The women have lost their last 4 games and are on the edge of not making the NCAA tournament. Iowa City is hosting NCAA first and second round games. I think it would really suck if the women missed the tournament when they could be playing in front of their hometown fans.

- I remember 10/7/1991 as a 'not so fine' day because I failed miserably during Student Teaching on that day in my Language Arts 10-1 class.
- A lot more that I've written about on this blog.
