No and ifs or butts.

Well, Ian is feeling a little better. Doc did a chest x-ray and came out fine. He is behind me playing trains at his train table.

I've gotten such a dose of sailboat instruction lately. Last night they told us to assume everyone around you is an idiot (I asked for clarification, everyone around me on my boat is an idiot or everyone around my boat is an idiot???). I think most people are idiots anyway... Not you folks though, you "get it".

My latest beef: cigarette butts. What is the deal with folks believing they can throw these anywhere? Last night on my drive home, the car in front of me chucked on at me, then his passenger did the same. Where they trying to make my car explode? Cause, really, the jetta doesn't need the help.

Going into the supermarket last week, a lady in front of me drops her butt (cigarette butt for those of you with bad thoughts) right in front of the store entrance. The butt canister is like a half step away... Don't even get me started at folks who dump their ashtray whereever the mood strikes them...

I think it should be a jailable offense. Anyone agree?

If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, we'd all have a happy christmas.

What about still-lit-and-smoking cigarettes? Not enough you get second-hand smoke, you have to get it from their trash, too.

todays survey

Since you all have done so well with the past two surveys I've taken ( another shirt slogan for Dad and do you get full eating salad or just bored ), here is another: If you eat, say, a bag full of fortune cookies - and I am not saying I have - do they all come true or just a first/last rule? Do they all negate if you eat more than one? Anyone? Bueller?

And now we are One!!!!

Who would have thought: you would keep reading after day 3? I would keep writing after day 2? (see http://robertwmason.blogspot.com/ for reference) that you would get anything out of this? that I would get anything out of this? that I would make 250 posts into this thing..? And "get" I did. Last month, I signed my first contract for a writing position (in my free time) with a Rhode Island magazine. I used many excerpts from my blog as samples and they dug it, enough to want to pay me. I am very excited about that. A big thank you to all of you that keep reading that misadventures of my family, friends and I. The journey thus far has been fun and giving you a bird-eye view into our lives is weirdly fun. At first it was like walking around naked, now I am a full fledged nudist; so to speak. In looking back over the first year, I live like a king. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of reflection to see how good you've got it. Usually this hits me on business trips and ...

How I'll probably die

My new thing has gotten me running, yes running, the past week without complaint and without watching the clock. Unfortunately, the high-risk fringe sport will probably have Ian find me at the end of the treadmill runway, twisted, with a guitar slung from my neck. What is it you ask? Some kind of Mariachi Marathon? Close. Running while playing Guitar Hero is the greatest thing since running with my buddy Jeff. Come to think of it, that really was just running with someone calling you, "fatty" the whole time, but I digress. Running while jamming on guitar trying desperately to keep up with great hits like "American Women" and the surprisingly fitting, "Band on the run". See what I did there? Anyhow, it is freaking amazing. No longer are my eyes glued to the maddening clock. No longer am looking at data (which I seem to hate when it is counting my exercise), I am playing a game. I am a Rock God when I run. Now, I know what you are thinking. Being a...
