.......... at least for a month or two!!!!!!! I got a promotion and a transfer to the regional HQ office. My wife is a CPA and it is tax season so she cannot move until after April 15th and our Son is a Sr in HS and graduates the last WE in May so the movers will pack us up in June.

I start the new job on April 1 so I will once again be a full time road warrior for few months. Once we relo then I will be traveling domestically and internationally about 25% of the time which means any where from 1-2 days each week to 1-2wks out of 6wks depending on destination.

Interesting and good answer to a Dear Abby topic.

I found this response to a Dear Abby topic to be right on target.

DEAR ABBY: In a family, blended or otherwise, the adults are the heads of the family. It's the so-called "executive system." Their relationship must be kind, harmonious and respectful because it sets the tone for the entire family dynamic.

Damn! Are we all bored with being snow bound or what?

I have not seen StepTalk hoppin this much in a while. Or maybe it is that I have not been on as much in the past 6mos due to work issues.

I getting some great Stalker time in today with the 4-6ft snow drifts in front of the front and back doors to our house. I have to say that even though the Skid flunking out of Military School has put some strain on the Rags family home life it is good to have a healthy 17yo to work the shovel.

Go freeze your ass of for a few more hours Skid! }:)

Feb 11 ..... The best day of the year.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

46 and still lovin life, my wife and my Son (SS). Though I have to say I have seen enough snow for a while.

I have been snowed in the house and working (occasionally) from home for three days. The three of us are making it a point to be in different rooms since we are getting sick of being locked in together.

But, as I said. It is the greatest day of the year. The only problem with this birth day is that I am now undeniably closer to 50 than 40.

Hey, I am a man and we just get more distinguished with age.

Update and Status on Rag's Boarding/Military School Flunkie Skid

I have been in denial on this and avoiding updating the Stalker community on the status of my Son (SS-17).

The good news is that I have been able to prevent his Mother from killing him or causing him permanent disfigurement by skinning him alive or slow roasting him like a brisket on a Texas BBQ pit.

These we love the most break our hearts the deepest.

Well, the amazing Skid has managed to resurrect his historical lack of maturity and decisioning capability. During the TG holiday from school he managed to lie repeatedly about having turned in all of his assignments and stayed up all night playing World-of-Warcraft then being semi catatonic during usual waking hours.

When we got home Sunday we found his progress report waiting in the mailbox. It was horrendous to say the least.

So, what can I do to help him once again pull his head out of his ass? I can't do it for him but I can get him some help.

The SpermIdiot Clan Strikes Again

This evening my wife calls me upset because SpermDad and SpermGrandMa call ranting that the kid has Swine Flu .....

Which is absolutely not true. The Skid has Viral Syndrome with Flu Like Symptoms. There are a couple dozen kids in the school infirmary with the same stuff. Most have been tested for H1N1, none tested positive.

Married to the perfect woman.

My wife actually left ME speechless this evening........ and that rarely happens.

She was watching one of those Wonderful Wedding shows on one of the Chick Channels when she turned to me and said "You got of cheap on our wedding Rags!" (We eloped to Lake Tahoe). I commented in my snarky smart ass teasing sort of way that there was nothing cheap about my Wife and that I had spent orders of magnitude more on her during our 15yrs of marriage than the $25K my first I-Ls spent on my first wedding to the psycho frigid ice queen.
