@TDitH: At least you know you're GF is not after you for your money. That's a plus.

@Vapor Yeah. She's a good person to be with. She's even read my articles on here.

That's awesome. I think you have a winner there.

been getting a couple of thunderstorms here lately, but it's typical VA weather. since i'm finally back to having those summer temperatures i drew this on my wii u gamepad from the miiverse community today

She must be drinking from a pineapple.

you are correct, sir!

Today has been clear and good so far. And quiet here in the office, just the way I like it.

Ate lunch with the wife and kids at Gino's a bit ago, before stopping at the local grocer for juice and the bank for a money order. Typical life stuff.

A more interesting thing happened the night before last. I received a strange voice mail message to my home phone from my dad in which he was rustling around, making sounds... and then I could hear him say..."Oh help me Jesus".

Now I don't know about you, but even though my dad has been known to call about "emergencies" that amounted to him not knowing how to do something on Ebay, this sent up a red flag.

After not being able to contact him via his cell phone, his home phone (which I had the operator break in to for me because I kept getting a busy signal - and she said nobody was on the line), and through my stepmother's phone... I loaded up the family and we made the 20 minute trip to his house to check on him.

My dad is paranoid and carries a gun just about everywhere with him, so I knew I had to be careful knocking on the door.

After he knew who it was, he came to the door and nothing at all was wrong. He didn't even remember why he called the house.

My day was quiet for the most part. Highlight was getting free tickets to see Cage The Elephant next month.

My day was mostly spent at home watching WWE Raw 20th Anniversary Collection.

Last night it got rainy, but it stopped long enough for me to set up a "treasure hunt" outside for the kids to do, complete with a "map" and such. So they spent the rest of the evening setting up their own "treasure hunts".
