Thursday Thoughts and Commentary

I get home from work yesterday and my brother-in-law is waiting for the mailman. He’s waiting for his first Social Security disability check. It did not come. He got ticked off. He called them. He ranted. He raved. He could not understand why I did not understand his anger. Well.....

I finally told him what I thought. First of all when I get a check I’ve already made those two weeks of work and have worked another full week. The operative word in that deal is worked. I could complain if my check did not come. I told him he’s on the no-work free plan so just be happy you will get a check. Plus, he’s staying at my house, eating my food, drinking my drinks, watching my TV! Just hang tight until the check comes. He’s lost nothing. I am not really happy the guy is living with me, but don’t blame the government for not sending your free check.

Simon is happy. A lot of other people are happy. My wife is happy. My niece is happy. Sanjaya got voted off American Idol last night. I don’t ever watch. I just know what I have read and heard from my wife and others. I do know they have some people who are not very attractive on this year. It’s going to be hard to market that. Read into that Taylor Hicks. I don’t think he’s burning it up! I did see the girl sing “Broken Wing” the other night. She’s good and she’s not bad looking.

We will have nice weather again today. It will be cool this morning, warm this afternoon with plenty sunshine. It does not get much better than this.

It’s time to get up. Do you think they are going to be showing anything on the news about the killings at Virginia Tech? It’s on 24/7 isn’t it? Enough said. More later!!
