not all that pissed off

Been away for a bit. Doing some really enjoyable stuff and don't have a tremendous axe to grind on the pissed off scale. (Am sure that will change in the days ahead though)

Even the air travel wasn't enough to get me started (that'll damn sure change).

Having kids and grandchildren around was absolutely fabulous. And the older they get keeps the festiveness going. Disappointed that it wasn't longer but will take what I can get.

It's truly wonderful watching the little ones' faces as they observe the goings on around them. Even the smallest, most simplistic item can produce such an intense focus. And the excitement they show cannot help but put a huge smile on your face.

And the enjoyment watching the kids' interaction and fascination with their children is outstanding. They are to be complimented with the job they're doing.

To add to the syrupiness, we are blessed that the kids have married the most delightful, fun, supportive, thankful, and a bunch of other accolades, spouses. Thank you (and your parents) for who you are.

Didn't think I was going to go all out and not have the least bit of pissed off ramblins, huh?

Enough of the whining: UT fans who think Florida ran up the score. (didn't play too good, huh?) Donovan McNabb on the additional scrutiny that black qb's receive (didn't you just get beat by a team with a black qb?) And last, but not least, -Americans. (if you were born in the US, you are an AMERICAN)

Enough for today, more at a later date.
