Mr. Dad - a published, unfinished draft originally written

There are currently 4 children running around and attempting to destroy my home.  2 are mine, 2 are the babysitter's.  I am tasked with keeping them all alive, fed, and poopy-pantsed-free.  So far, so good.  It's almost time for the 2 wee ones to go down for a nap.

Getting ready to head out on a "vacation" to St. Louis in a few days.  I'm really looking forward to it, although there's still a decent amount of work to get done before we leave, and Jeannie's going to be bringing a big work job along with us.  So it might be less of a vacation than what we would hope for.  Oh well.  At least there will be other people to help play with our kids, which means the potential for naps.

Back Ridge Boys

I feel like a new person since returning from vacation.  I feel free from a lot of things I felt trapped by before - my phone, Facebook, G&T's, too much food, no exercise, my schedule, renovation inertia.

So I've stopped checking Facebook, I've stopped drinking G&T's every night, I've stopped eating exclusively crap, I've started getting up at 5 to run and not feel rushed in the morning, and I've started working on shit in our house.  It feels great!  I need the time away to reboot, I guess.

Since I'm not checking Facebook, I need an outlet for all my million-dollar ideas.  This blog will once again be that outlet.

First post-facebook million-dollar idea:  An Oak Ridge Boys album consisting entirely of Backstreet Boys covers.  Album title:  Back Ridge Boys.

Billion dollar idea:  Same thing but with the Backstreet Boys covering Oak Ridge Boy tunes.  But personally, I'd rather hear the Oak Ridge Boys do "I Want it That Way" than hear the Backstreet Boys do "Elvira."

Maybe a joint tour?
