All the Small Things

What a week or few... Chrissta spent a week at girls camp, we some how survived with the thanks to many a good friend. Work has been busy, baseball games, a home grown sports injury, and a whirl wind business trip which is where this post begins.

Planes are not built for the large in stature. It does not help that smaller folk, seem to be less sensitive to this fact, not to judge but check it out next time you fly, the larger (taller) folk seem to be less inclined to recline, while the less taller folk seem to want to sprawl or lie flat when flying. I really don't have an issue with it, except when they try to recline the seat and it stops a little shorter than expected, and the looks start and the backwards thrusting against the backrest begins. What are these folks 5? Come on, its immature and it hurts my knees. Something to keep in mind the unassuming nice large man behind you may be listening to punk and feel like moshing, soon.

Listing to my iPod on shuffle did however take me away to that special place, and a song would come on and it would remind me of a special time, like the time my dad me tickets to the Hank Williams Jr concert, and Larry and I rode from Washougal Washington to Portland Oregon in the very back of the diesel Peugeot on these hard rubber things. Or the time when we were out moving irrigation pipes and a corn stock fight broke out and Larry ended up in the emergency room, needing stitches in his eye lid. Then there was the time Larry and I went over to meet this new chicka, that his mom wanted him to meet. (Turns out it was something special, they got married and have four fantastic boys.) Then there are the songs that remind me of driving out the Dallas (Oregon) on a warm spring afternoon with the windows down and the Ramones blasting. Or the trip to Portland with Brandi and Chrissta for sushi and some Social Distortion.

It got me thinking about the finer things in life that we all enjoy. Here are a few of those things for me.

Mighty Fine Burgers - Great Burger, and I know.
Wahoos Fish Tacos - Love me some Fish Tacos
Rudys - BBQ need I say more?
C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream - Little spendy for shaving cream but DANG! (hide it from your wife)
T.V.
Good Books.
Friday Night Football at the Round Rock ISD Athletic complex
Watching my kids do anything.
Doing anything with my kids.
Alone time with Chrissta.
Long Boards from LongBoard Larry
Music - most of it.
Late night guy movies with Stan, Sam, (any Smith really) and Benson.
Football Saturdays at Kyles.
and of course hanging with friends old and new!
