Morning Pomp and Circumstance

The "do absolutely nothing" three day weekend ran into some trouble today. It started out with attending our friends daughters graduation. At NINE AM!! Graduation, at nine AM in the morning? Isn't that crazy? I halfway expected to overhear one of the students say "hey man, what do you want to do after graduation? Hit the Waffle House or go back to bed?" The graduation in question was my old high school. It was held at Reunion Areana, former home of the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars, the same place mine was held in 1985. Nineteen years ago, I was down on the arena floor awaiting my piece of paper verifying twelve years of hard labor, wondering what the future was holding for me. Well, I'm still here, healthy, can keep a roof over my head, not in debt up to my eyeballs, and have a family that loves me. I don't know if you can ask for much more.

After the graduation we were invited for lunch at Campesi's. A long time Dallas favorite. It gained nationwide fame when Major League Baseball umpire Steve Polermo tried to break up an assault and robbery in the parking lot and took a bullet to the spinal cord. The lunch was good and free, a nice twosome. Chicken Parmesian with Fettuchini Alfredo and enough garlic to ward off vampires for the next 72 years.

I swear to God, the things he says and thought processes that flow through his brain never cease to amaze me. Early on in this Blog, I promoted the idea of trying to give your kids more than you had. Don't force them to work during their early high school years and instead let them enjoy their summers unencumbered. As that dickhead Dr. Phil says, " how'd that work out for ya?" I have ended up with an unappreciative individual that is not even remotely ready for the real world. What a slap in the face that will be, standing on his own two feet. I know, I know, I reap what I sow, but that what blog is for isn't it, anonymous venting?? His outrageously expensive school, has a relatively relaxed cel phone policy. You can have you phone, and actually use it in between classes. Just don't use it during class. Kinna obvious don't you think? He come...

21 Years.  The Time Cannon has been on the web for 21 years. That's hard to believe.  I wish I updated it more often.  I hope everyone out there is doing ok.  I'm going to try and get back to posting, but I've done that before.... Peace.
