Frankly Speaking

I got engaged this weekend. I just thought you would like to know, because my life is so very interesting.


That is all for now.

My younger daughter's 12^th birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Traditionally in our family, 12 is the shotgun birthday. When my older daughter turned 12 I passed on the Stevens single shot .20 gauge I received on my 12^th birthday. The younger daughter informed me that she doesn't want a shotgun, she wants a rifle. She always has to be different. So, this weekend I picked up the Mossberg 702 Plinkster .22LR. She is about to be the proud owner of her very first scary black rifle.

Of course, that was before I knew that they also offered it in pink. I see a paint job in her future.

Now I can't wait for her birthday, because I'm ready to head out and throw some lead down range. I haven't even shot the thing yet and now I want a .22 for me. I forgot just how much fun they are.

Thanks to a restructuring of the tax tables, my take home pay has gone up. Today my pay was exactly $18 more than it was two weeks ago. Now all I have to do is figure out where to spend all this extra money.

But I can't help myself.

Am I the only one who notices a striking resemblance between the recently deceased Paul Harvey and Jim Carey as Fire Marshall Bill?
