National Day of Women (aka Valentines)

            I am going to risk sounding like a 40-something year old man who has been married for over 22 years but hey, that’s what I am!             I really don’t like Valentine’s Day. I don’t boycott it but I don’t enjoy the National Day of Women either. Not because I am rebellious or not crazy in love with my wife but I don’t like the idea that this is THE day that I am supposed to shower her with over priced flowers and/or candy!             That’s all.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

            Do you happen to have any investments? Long term investments? I have heard that if you invest in the right product early on in its existence that with the right leadership, management, and a few breaks that your return could exponentially be greater than your original investment.             Well, Tammy and I have two long term investments. The first we have been invested in almost 22 years and the returns just keep coming in. The other is what this blog is about and that investment is just over 18 years. Tonight is senior night for some of the athletes at Heritage High School. Our son, Jordan, will take the floor for his last regular season home game of his high school career. Not sure how to feel about it. Very emotional, obviously. But I’m not really sad. I am very proud, excited, and looking forward to what his next step is.     ...
