Just Another Blog Post
I don't really have anything too exciting to report. And I have some time on my hands. So let's just prattle on in an extremely self-indulgent matter that would seem to indicate I feel my own little world is far more important than it really is (in actuallity, I know my own little world is EXTREMELY unimportant, but it is, after all, mine).
Firstly, I went to the Fresno County Fair and saw Average White Band open for Tower of Power. The highlight was the funnel cake. Even when I went and saw Weird Al Yankovich at the Orange County Fair, the highlight was the funnel cake. At the Minnesota State Fair, which is far more fun and interesting than any fair actually has a right to be, the highlight was still the funnel cake. I don't care what you do when you get to the fair, any fair, if the highlight for you ISN'T the funnel cake, then that just means you didn't get the funnel cake.
Next, it's football season, as we are all well aware. And as such, I cannot write a blog post about nothing and NOT bring up football. The Steelers have me happy once again. The Monday night game was a good one. They almost had it taken away from them by the refs, but all ended happily. In Fantasy Football, I'm 4-1 in my Money League. I'm trying to work out a 4-team trade. It's interesting how these sort of things come about. You start talking to people and they start talking and before it's all done, you have 4 people involved in a trade. The porlem right now is, one of the key people in the trade, is getting cold feet and won't respond to any attempts to communicate with him. If that trade falls through, I will be very very upset because it would greatly help my team.
Married life has been good. Still not sure that there's too much different today than 1 month ago (other than Jenn being far less nervous about The Big Day). I like being married. Jenn knows how to put a smile on my face, which is a great thing.
For example, yesterday, driving home, I saw an accident. It was just a fender bender. It was so minor that Jenn didn't even see or hear it. But I saw it coming and saw it happen. That always unnerves me. I get very tense when I see an accident mainly because I can't help but think of all the crap that goes along with that sort of thing. And she instantly took my mind right off it. It's a good thing.
Lastly, I'd like to say goodbye to my Grandma Britton. She had been very sick for the past few months and she passed away Saturday morning. She hadnt' been the same since my Granddad died the morning of my high school graduation. He was pretty much the only thing that really made her happy. I'm not sure that she was ever meant to be alone for a month let alone 10+ years. But I'm going to remember her from when I was a kid and would go to her house during the summer and play cards with her. I'd drink Gatoraid, play cards and watch her Soaps with her. Those were my summer days before I turned 16 and got a job. I like to think that she was sad when the summer was over because I wouldn't be coming around any more. She never said as much, that's not just the way she was. But I know always enjoyed that time and it's hard for just one person to have fun when there's 2 of you in a room.
Goodbye Grandma. I love you very very much and will miss you. But I know you've wanted to be with Granddad, so it's better that you're happy.
