I"m not sure where the time as gone, I got a call from my employer this week, saying hey were putting you back on the pay roll, see you in 2 weeks. I'm not sure where that 8 weeks went. It has been a lot of fun being off watching my little man getting into things he knows he shouldn't be into, touring around furniture. he discovered the good times you can have in a bathroom the other day. kids must know something we don't because I'm not one to have any fun in a bathroom, but hey what do I know. because of mister wee-mans adventures in the bathroom i have learned the toilet seat goes down so he doesn't try to go swimming in the water.
I have become a big fan of the mid-morning nap though it's pretty sweet, I probably should sleep at the same time he does but then I wouldn't be able to this.
A Co-worker texted me today to see how things were going? 1 question she asked is when's the next little one coming? my response to that was my wife already has me and a mini me, i'm not sure she would be able to handle 3 of us.

Where were you?
I had 1 of my neighbors call me up late last week with the news of the birth of his 3rd child, all girls by the way. we have a boy so I'm not sure what it would be like to live in a house full of ladies. he's a brave man that's for sure. Where was i going with this? oh right, I silly or crazy I don't know, sometimes I'll forget when my nieces or nephews or friends kids birthday's are. I never forget where i was When i got the call When they were born, or they were expecting.
Last Week Madame i were in a Drive-Thru Bank Machine in North Whitby (Brooklyn). I was driving so i had Madame answer the cell. I had a feeling What it was i knew she was due to deliver at anytime. So She said oh would you like to talk to him. I was trying to do 3 things at once, I had 4 cars behind me the machine was beeping at me to take the money. the people behind me were honking there horns. (like they wanted me to get going or something) in the back of my head i was thinking hey this is a big deal for him to call me and share his great news. so i decided to take the call to make my congrats. There was a few angry people? yes but when you look at the big picture is it more important to take the call and enjoy the miracle of a person joining us on this earth, or to keep the line going for the bank machine. if you know the answer please let me know?
The other Phone call I can remember is when my oldest niece was born, it was a warm Sunday in June we were out on the patio of the local pub where I used to spend a lot of time but those are other things to write about later. I remember getting the call mid-afternoon, for the rest of the day i was so excited everyone around us had purchased a round or 2 to celebrate her birth.
It is a funny thing to remember the exact place you were when you get those kinds of calls.

Small World
When I was planning to go to college I was set and determined to go as far away from this Rural area, I ended up going 3 hours north of here in North Bay, The first year was a trial run. I went had too much fun and they said sorry better luck next time. I went back to that same program the following year. I think that was the powers be telling me i needed to become friends with these bunch of people.
Over the years I have learned that it truly is a small world. My wife gets shocked when we don't run into anyone i kn ow.
When i went into my second attempt at Broadcasting. I got know a guy named Zed. He's one of those guys that you don't have to see on a regular bases but when you do, we can pick up where we left off without skipping a beat. It would be awesome to see him everyday but there's sort of a big distance between Ontario and British Columbia.
I had gone home after the first semester and was talking to my dad about Zed and where he lived and that i would be going to see him over the summer break. and he replied yes I graduated with his dad in 1967. So if you're reading this Zed we must start planning now where are little one's are going to get up to mischief when they get to school.

Wonder
I always wonder what it would be like to be able to have full use of my arm and legs. Then I.look how boring that would be, I wouldn't trade anything that happened to me when i was younger, I had a conversation with my Massage therapist (no happy ending) yesterday how it's almost a blessing that i had my stroke when i did. I wouldn't want to have a stroke at this age because your brain is wired a certain way and to retrain yourself at an older age would be a lot harder then having one at birth or soon after.. How do i put this? because my brain was just starting to develop it was easier for me to train my brain.
When i do get thinking about If I had use of both sides I don't think i would stand out like I do, i would just be placed in a category with everyone else.

Radio Reunion
I just noticed that there hasn't been a post from me in a little bit, so While Wee-Man is having his morning nap I'll take advantage of writing something.
I just got my holiday sheet to figure out where I want to take my days in the coming year. One Weekend came to mind in July, All my Classmates and i are heading to North Bay to celebrate our 10 years of being out of our Radio Broadcasting. it is already starting to sound like it's going to be a great time. I can't believe it's been 10 years though the time has flown by. There was some great times and i already know it's going to feel like we haven't seen each other in that long.
There were a lot of great times either on air or socials in between classes so much fun. unfortunately for me I didn't fall in the broadcasting field but no regrets right?
I always started my air Shift with WKRP in Cincinnati, I was always forgetting that we were a rock station and there was supposed to be music instead i would get on rants until someone would call and say to me hey Randy shouldn't you be playing music.
I'm looking forward to getting back to the old spots we used to have a few socials at and seeing the old crew again.

Hurry Hard
Is it sad that Curling season is finished up and I'm already rolling in my head about what Bonspiels I'm going to go into in the late Fall/Winter?
My eldest brother suggested to it me about a day league, I'm seriously considering trying to put it together. How hard could it be. This December will be the 8th year I've been hosting my on Spiel, Which i call The "Whiskey Pumps Funspiel" The winner of year gets there name on a TeXes Mickey. It's named after 1 of the teams that enters I gave them a task before the 1st year it was run. I bought them a bottle and said I would need it in a few weeks. They finished the bottle in good time, it was polished off in 3 days. For doing that Whiskey Pumps was born. They even have there name on the bottle for winning it a few years ago now. it took a few years of trial and error, like trying 2 days, that didn't work because I trusted on the social network as yes I'll have a team. but we have finally weened out the teams that will back out last minute, because there hung over or they don't feel like curling. What started off as a way to get a lot of socials into us has turned out to be some damn good curling. I have a great bunch of guys that i can give a weeks notice and they will be there to have a great time. As you can see it has become a well oiled machine and can now run on it's own, with a little help from my support team, also it's only April and I'm already looking forward to another great pumps in December. I guess I'll have to hit the golf course until that time comes.

Plotting to take over the world
Madame, Wee-Man and I were out last night at a friends for dinner and social, they have a son only a few months older then Wee-Man. It was fun too watch them burble back and forth at each other, I'm petty sure they will be a handful when they get together as they grow-up, You can already see that in the way the 2 of them were playing and both having faces like they've done something wrong.
I'm convinced that babies have there own language, sort of like Look whose Talking. 1 of my nieces just loves Wee-Man a few months ago we were up at my sister's place, The 2 of them were lying on the floor burbling away at each other. My niece was whispering in his ear in what sounded like gibberish to us. They were giggling and laughing away having a great time. You wonder what there really saying. I'm thinking it's on the lines of how nuts there parents are or Who knows what they could be plotting. I like to see that the kids have there own type of communication. I guess you could call it morascode or like a club that Parents and adults aren't aloud to know what there talking about.
