What cheered you up today?

[Chief]

My age is increasing, but my observation skills are not.


Ever see "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour"?

 

[Henk]

No, but you know what I have been seeing latly is that the young ones know a lot more than older people, but the experiance are not there.

This made me feel good to see this and know that there are some people that see the way we feel.

Had lunch with Wife and Baby at local eatery. Had a great Cheeseburger with Fries and two beers. Wife still has a bit of post partum but improving. All in all a good lunch.

Makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong

Off to Mortons tonight with the wife. Wine, women and MORE WINE!

My Mother is coming over to watch the little one. She digs the crap out of her time with her. Wife and I get a hall pass every Friday evening while Mom comes over and plays with her Granddaughter.

Grandparents have advantages.

 

[Gnomey]

England beat the Aussies

Grandparents have advantages.

Yeah, pretty cool. For me, it's a whole new world, as they say.

One thing I've noticed is American GPs are more reserved than European GPs. Kinda strange but my Wife's Parents do everything (well, while they were here) for the kid. As I was joking to others, I'm benched for the duration of their stay! My parents show up once a week. Not that they care any less, but they just keep a little more distant.

Funny, you would think it would be opposite.

 

[SpitfireKing]

I got the perfect poem written!

 

[Matt308]

Back home from traveling.

And Henk, what are your aspirations? Are you gonna play PS2 for your career? What are you doing to improve your skills my friend. Not a dig. I really am curious.

 

[Henk]

Matt, I want to go over to the EU to work their a bit to get more cash to start a little hotel here taht we call a B&B, but I must first work to get the cash to do so and them get more cahs to open the place, but I need more cash to first study to know how to run a B&B and them have enough left to open a place like that. I took the best job I could find for the best pay, for a non black person in SA to get a job is not easy.

I love my job now, but it is not long term, it is a start to greater things.

 

[Matt308]

As long as you are bettering yourself with aspirations, Henk. All the better my friend.

 

[Henk]

Thanks Matt.

Family is very big over here. The Grandparents are still a major part of family life. For intance my wifes family gets together with the Grandparents every Sunday for coffee and cake and besides the fact that they live only about 6 house down they get together several times a week.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Oh and what is cheering me up. Going to go and sweat for a few hour today at the Saunas.

That's pretty cool. Good to have that interaction between generations. Keeps everybody in the loop.

 

[mkloby]

I think that might be a trend in more recent generation - the increasing distance of families. My grandparents and their immediate families all lived in one city, or neighboring cities, and saw their parents almost every day. My wife's family is actually still like that - and they all live in the same town. Of course living across the country that doesn't include us.

What cheered me up today - I got a 2 day weekend!
