Ok, Blogger just ate my last post. Between that and the problems today I am irked. Blogger, I am calling you out. You and me baby, bring your best and hope that I leave your sorry behind with the ability to continue functioning. Grrrrr……………

This evening we engaged in the simple task of trying to bathe two young children. Not real difficult, but time consuming.

My son convinced me to get into the tub with him. I didn’t really want to do it, but in the interest of harmony and a speedier bath I climbed in. Things went along swimmingly until he started to complain about having to wash his hair.

He then made it very clear that he was not pleased with this by urinating in the tub. Good thing that I love him because the shower that followed was very brief and quite efficient.

Nothing like being peed on by a child to make your evening.

Yes, an afternoon confession for all of you. I enjoy looking at my tracking software to see who has come to visit the shack. I find it very interesting, it is kind of a like a puzzle in which I have enough pieces to creat the skeleton of the puzzle, but I am not able to fill it in.

I look at the IP addresses and I can gather small details, little nuggets of information that I try to use to decipher the mystery that is you, the reader.

Sometimes I am provided with the name of the business/school/organization of your IP address. It is a nice addition. I look at it and try and imagine what you do for a living. Are you a spy, a teacher, a doctor, lawyer or something else. Who knows.

Maybe you are someone I know from the outside world who doesn’t know that I have a blog. There are endless possibilities.

I used to have an email address tied into the site but I pulled it because of the vast amount of “email” I received. Besides if I used all of the pills that these people want me to take they really would call me “Tripod” and I’d scare the neighbor’s horse. And that would be a shame.

But beyond all that I also received multiple requests to Blogroll people. It is not so much that I mind being asked, but that I am unwilling to do it for everyone and not interested in explaining why every time I decide not to do it.

The issue is very simple to me. I Blogroll sites that I find to be of interest, but the problem is that I have found so many that are of interest it is a little overwhelming. I am not real keen on the idea of listing 69 links on the side of the blog. I feel an obligation to visit sites I have blogrolled and I don’t have time to visit 69 sites.

There are blogs that I visit on a regular basis that I haven’t blogrolled and I don’t necessarily know why. I probably will end up doing it, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. If you ask my wife about it she’ll tell you that I operate on “Jack Time” and that “Jack Time” doesn’t seem to correllate with time in the outside world. I do things at my pace.

Anyway, I have milked this cow long enough, it is time to go shear the sheep for a bit.

There, that title ought to grab a few readers. 😉 I have no idea whether Blogger is going to quit on me again, so I am going to try and push this through ASAP.

I can understand why people might tape themselves having sex. I see how you can enjoy it, but I also see great potential for mischief here. Once you are on tape you are at risk for being shown anywhere and everywhere. So if you film yourself you need to be prepared for the possiblity that others will see it.

And if you are 31 and filiming yourself with a 17 year-old girl you need to be ready to have the book thrown at you. Now I am not going to get into a discussion about the age of consent, but let’s think about this for a second.

If you are shtupping a girl in high school and you are that much older you are creating a real problem for yourself, so you shouldn’t be surprised when trouble finds you.

Well it appears that either the Red Sox are going to finally break the curse or in less than a week the entire city of Boston is going to go into mourning over one of the all-time greatest choke jobs.

Boston, I have news for you. This year every team I rooted for in the playoffs has lost. I am beginning to think that it could be in your best interests to pay me not to root for your team.

I don’t need much, I am sure that if you each give me 50 cents I’ll be satisfied, but just in case you might want to make a suitable deposit in my account. If I don’t see the money soon I promise to go into full fan mode and as previously mentioned, this season all of my teams lost.
