No pictures today but I thought I'd write anyway. I'm at work having a bit of a focus problem so maybe this will warm up the old gears or something. See, I was up late last night. No, not doing anything cool or adventurous. (I have kids, remember?) But I had the bright idea of watching a horror movie while Dane was at work. He's been working late all week, and we had this movie left over after Halloween and yeah, bad idea. It was called "Darkness" and had the little girl from "The Piano" in it. Pretty good horror movie (no, not "Piano") but mostly it just gave me the willies cause there were these demon ghost thingies lurking in the shadows, and just think how many shadows there are in a big quiet house with an unfinished basement. Whee! Fun night for me.
So now I feel like death. And this morning on the way to work I actually had one of those moments where you tell yourself you can take a quick nap at a red light and then magically wake up when it turns green. "Yeah, then I'll be all refreshed. Genius!"
The good thing, though, -- I mean besides the fact that I came to my senses before actually trying it -- is it reminded me of Yvette. We were driving through Nebraska or Iowa or something and I wake up to see her driving with her head completely dropped to her chest. She was so asleep her head was LOWER than the steering wheel! Sort of like that scene in "Vacation" where Chevy's dozing sweetly in the car and then you see that he's driving.
Anyway, sorry for the had-to-be-there memory, but it cracked ME up.
I've been really nostalgic lately. I miss Yvette and all of you. I feel like I've been hibernating or something. Funny that I keep a blog NOW, now that I have no life. I should start writing about stuff that happened a long time ago and posting scary old pictures. That would scare a lot of people. :) I could hit syndication with material like that.
But no, check back for super exciting entries about knitting follies and kid cuteness.
Of course if somebody were to piss me off... >:D

Ironic, but as a retired geezer, I sometimes look back at the point you are in life, as most adventurous. Kids, houses, jobs, day-to-day mini-adventures, etc. No paternal advice here, just the observation that the passage of time sometimes brings true adventure into focus.
