Reprise

It's been a while since I've ranted on here. Time away from the home computer means not having much time to myself in the last ten days. I guess the two year period in my world where I mainly kept to myself during the week is over. Times they are a changing.

Sprung


Nature in the metropolis. Last Friday, I was fortunate enough to make a short escape into the suburban version of nature. Amongst the constant airplane traffic overhead and highway noise sits a nice place to remember what it's like to live around trees.

Spring is starting to show some face. Good things are abound.

Spring Clean your Insides


What goes out.


What goes in.

On a visit to Wisconsin to visit the brothers, I got an oil change. My brothers and I spent Saturday night changing oil, playing yahtzee, sipping beers, and pushing each other's buttons. We average American Joes.

Try changing your oil once. Your relationship with $30 oil changes will become one of resentment.

Unexpected Family Gathering


You eat. Visits from second/third/fourth cousins these happen at my parent's house every few months. I'm usually caught off guard by these visits and tend to do my own thing. I've been to wild parties in my day...but nothing beats an afternoon of spilled sodas, poker games, kitchen haircuts, a broken mirror frame, adults taking naps, kids smashing random notes on the piano, putting everything in the microwave, smoked salmon, and hugging old ladies. Welcome to Sunday.

Remaining a Brewers fan through all the bad years is starting to pay off. Hopefully this team will take the state's attention away from the Bucks for a few years. They deserve a little success.

When your niece looks at your facial hair and asks: "What's that?" It's time to think about changing things up, right?

Leftoverchinese is up 6-0.

Time to do internet 'errands'...yes.
