News on Monday


Ugh, last week was only 4 days and I almost didn't make it. This week does not look promising.

We'll open with the latest in science news: they want to study Ian. I was approached by Ian's teacher at school who is going for some kind of degree about an impending contact from the schools honcho about her desire to interview, video, record, brain scan, DNA test, fingerprint, EKG and disect my little boy. My reaction, "this could be seen two ways: one, he is amazing kid-lets study him; or the other way: wow, this kid is a complete wacko, lets be first to study him before he gets into the prison system." I still don't know which it is.

In sporting news, we all went to a womens basketball game on Sat. The only pro team this state has is the Connecticut Sun. Whooo-Haa! One chick was over 7ft tall. No dunking. Reagan sat with her friends while Ian devoured nachos with extra cheese. Extra cheese so he could get it on the floor, me, Mel, the people next to and below us...

Reagan told me she would be moving out in the future. I told her she couldn't. She said she was going to save money and buy our house. We'd have to live in her room. Great.

Congrats be to Mel and Caryl for being accepted into the church here in town. Dad and I were again rejected. (ok, we opted not to join at the current time).

Reagan begins the softball tournement this week. She can't wait. Unfortunately it falls on the same night as bell-ringer rehersal (they are slated to ring next Sunday). So, do you go to the game or do you go with Grandma to bell-ringers? Anyone have a good answer to this? I don't.

And with that, we decend into another week we could be doing something really worthwile... Hope it doesn't leave a mark.

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...
