Posts That I Hope You Will Read

It might be a holiday weekend but I am busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. Don’t know why I like that line, but I do. Perhaps it is because we once had a one legged painter. True story.

I am around five or so and my parents have hired a one legged painter to do some work around the house. The painter is standing on a ladder in our living room and working on the ceiling when misfortune strikes. Now you might ask what sort of misfortune befalls a man who has already lost one leg.

The answer is that his prosthetic leg falls off. Only because the fates like to torment man it falls off while he is standing on the ladder. Family legend reports that I retrieved said prosthetic leg and gave it back to the painter. I imagine that he must have had pretty good balance to stand there on leg while he worked on reattaching the other.

Anyhoo, if you are in need of some reading material you might enjoy one or more of the posts that are listed below:
