happy birthday

I made two mistakes this year. The first was signing up for a class that met on Valentine's Day. The second was signing up for a class that met on Golden's birthday. She has been very nice about it, but I'll be much more careful in future years.

Happy Birthday, Golden!



For those of you who want me to put a real post up today I have some thoughts.

Don't you hate it when you visit a blog and it feels like there is no real topic? It's like the author didn't have any good ideas for a post so he just typed something with no meaning. Just a rambling mess of nothingness to fill the gap in the posting schedule.

It's not like the blogger is doing anyone a favor. He could just admit he is drawing a blank and hold out the promise of a new post later on. He could just ignore his blog for a few days. Instead, he opts to waste everyone's time using a lot of words to say very little.

After reading the post the audience is left with the nagging feeling that the last minute or two of their lives were wasted and irretrievable. A sacrifice the blogger demanded for the privilege of maintaining a strict schedule on his site. A sacrifice that can never be gained back to be used for personal growth or entertainment. An expensive void.

Don't you hate that?

Why is it a mistake to have classes on those days? You got to get your schooling done and you can celebrate anytime.

Happy Birthday!!!
