it’s TAKE YOUR HUBBY To WORK DAY!

take your hubby to work day
What I am about to say is going to cause a number of very different reactions.

Allow me to advocate for a new and very special day called….. TAKE YOUR HUBBY TO WORK DAY!

Instantly, what goes through your mind,  ladies? Are you saying, “this is a great way for my husband to see and better understand my life?”… or…. are you thinking,” akk! he’ll see what I am really up to during the day! I gotta hide Sven the thong wearing cabana boy.”

My guess it is neither of those… but more on the side of…. hmmmmm… ‘let me think about that for a moment.’

I won’t go into all the details, but my daughters did spend time with me at work and Laura did visit with me as she could… but this isn’t about them… this is now about ME! In our ever changing world, visiting with your wife at work is a great way to see her in a new setting, better understand her challenges and do something positive for your relationship. If nothing else, it gives some background and texture to the stories she brings home each night.

Seeing each other at work addresses some real issues, the average couple spends less that 30 minutes a day talking to each other… and people wonder why their relationships seem to be rocky? So whether it is meeting for a regular lunch ‘date’ or spending time in each others workplace once in a while… the time together is well spent.

My Laura is a Professor, so it seemed only natural for me to take a day every once in a while to sit in her classes and play at being a student again. Hey, I actually learned something…. just ask me about ‘cranial nerve 8’! I have also had the opportunity to watch her interact with students, which only proved to me that she has ‘adopted’ a number of them….  Maybe I am looking through ‘rose colored’ glasses… but she never fails to impress me.

So, if you are not as able as my wife is to ‘take your hubby to work day’… what can you do?….  try to meet more often during the work week…. maybe over lunch. The atmosphere is more relaxed… and you’ll be surprised … and maybe, just maybe… you’ll enjoy yourself.

Banning BB guns in Boston? woo-hoo

I remember my first Daisy BB gun... I still own oneJust when you think that it couldn’t get any wackier… politicos in Massachusetts want to take away your BB gun and they are asking surrounding states to do the same!

Don’t you feel safer?

I guess they must think that your BB gun is a ‘gateway’ weapon leading to massive purchases of Uzi’s, red meat any manly thinking. Gosh, we need to stop all that.

Funny how so many states are moving in the direction of licensing citizens to carry a personal firearm… and in the state of Massachusetts they are moving in the opposite direction.

Obviously, there are other things happening: in Michigan– The state ‘drops the minimum age for hunting deer, elk and bear on private land by two years to 10 for archery and 12 for firearms.’

Sooooo…. it has been a busy week… but the coveted BIG WEENIE award goes to the great — once heroic state of Massachusetts…. a full 4 incher!

da Big Weener

 

If you have a chance to see the NRA’s news and Information site… complete with Sirius Patriot 144 Radio , news and discussion.

Hmmmm…. I wonder when California will move towards allowing citizens to carry?  Hey, from what I have heard more states have passed laws allowing citizens to carry than not. So, Come on Arnold…. get off the tofu and back on red meat.

All of America’s veterans have placed our nation’s security before
their own lives, creating a debt that we can never fully repay.
Our veterans represent the best of America, and they deserve
the best America can give them.

— George W. Bush

Roasted Duck comes Early! USC — 35 Oregon — 10

little trojans... big dreams!Well… finally a ‘cup-cake’ game! We have waited all year since Arkansas for a game that would be decided relatively early… so that we could sit back and enjoy the game!

The game really wasn’t close… and this may seem rather partisan… but the Oregon Ducks showed little class: Number 99 appeared to be thrown out after his second low blow, and after the game, most of the Oregon players just walked and ‘ducked’ into the locker room without shaking hands …and the Oregon coach seemed to waste everyone’s time with unnecessary time outs and questioning and protesting virtually every call.

Sheeeesh! It’s not like he had a chance to pull an “Oklahoma.”

However, roasted duck was very sweet this year!

Here’s what others are saying:

Dissin’ Ducks!
Trojans Pluck Ducks!

Next up: CAL Bears come up next week followed by the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame! Kristin plans to join us to watch the Trojans meet the Irish two days after Thanksgiving!

fight on!
