Wow. Whatta day it was today. I had a terrible week at work. At a job I hate with a group of poeple that have it out for me that I despise..........yadda yadda yadda. Don't want to talk about it to much so my blood pressure will stay within acceptable limits. But today was a much needed and unexpected threat. I woke up this morning feeling sorry for myself knowing that my weekend would be a repeat of many of the recent past. To my supprise. My brother in law called me to see if I would go kayaking with him. Now most poeple would think that's crazy considering its only 40 degrees out. But I'm so fed up with my current situation of employ that I thought this was just the medicine I needed......man. was that ever the case. My brother in law Doug has always been a great friend as well as a great father to my neace and nephews and a good husband to my one and only sister. When he called me today I jumped at the chance to spend the day with him. and what a great day we had. Doug has also always been a inspiration to me. Mentally, spiritially, and intellectually, and to be able to spill my guts to him today was a outlet that I needed. Doug doesn't know sh!t about knives. But he knows me and he was able to put my mind at ease to a lot of things that I have lost sleep over as of late. Like I stated. Today was a gift. And I am gratefull for the poeple around me. Here are some pics.

when I got home...to my suprise. My 9 yr. old daughter had a friend spending the night. Her friends name is Anna and what a pleasent little girls she is. I fixed them my famous popcorn and told them some of my best ghost stories. To hear them giggle and have fun was a perfect ending to a great, needed day. Today was a gift indeed.

Looks like a blast brother. Good to see you got some needed time away.
 
Dude, that's great! I hadn't heard from you all day, awesome. Azalia to Rocksey?
 
Hey Todd, sorry to hear about the work bs, I feel your pain. Nothing like some time outdoors to soothe the pain tho!
 
Glad today was the pick-me-up that you needed. Hate to hear you been bummin' bro.


Looks like an awesome time. I really need to get my own ship in the barlow navy.
 
Looks like a great day Todd. And your story about making popcorn for your daughter's sleepover eases a little of my fear for when my daughter is old enough to bring other people's children into my house to co-terrorize me!
