We're Going to Disneyland!

It's that time of the year, the summer holidays.  If we had kids and an extended family we'd be traipsing to all the amusement parks annually.  Since we don't and since Pkin really is not a "man of the crowds" and given the fact that I hate to be hot, we seldom go to theme parks unless there is a good reason.  And there is!!!

The Pirates of the Caribbean re-opened after a few years of refurbishment.  Yippee!!!

More on the Delta IV

This evening at 8:33 PM the first Delta IV Rocket launched from the West Coast.  It was beautiful. 

Pkin Got Fired

Today the great Pumpkin, the man with no boundaries, the person who says exactly what is on his mind, was informed by his physical therapist, after the session, that "this office has standards of professionalism and conduct" or something like that and they would be referring him back to his physician.   See, Pkin got fired.

How do you process information like that?  I've taken Pkin to work functions, invited friends and family over, have gone to friend and family events, and even taken him to many public places.  Yes, he is more blue than not.  Yes, he says what is on his mind.  Yes, he can rant.  But let's face it, the physical therapist only has to see him for 30 minutes three times a week for three to six weeks, or now two to five weeks.  My goodness, how bad can Pkin be!?!

Pkin is a libertarian, and he is convinced the therapist is a politically correct liberal.  Oh does that raises his ire even more so I'm sure Pkin was in excellent form. 

You Be The Judge:

1. Should Pkin learn from this situation? 
2. Should he temper his comments? 
3. Or should he be validated in his opinion that self-righteous, nearly pious PC people are in fact the funniest people in the world and therefore should be the butt of jokes?

Advice to Unmarried Women Everywhere

Men lie as do women so be careful to understand what you are lying about and what he might be lying about because the truth always comes out in the end.  Disclaimer:  Unattached lesbians, I'm not sure if this advice is applicable.

My dear Pkin lied about painting my toenails.  He implied that he was very capable of doing them so that I would not have to go out to a shop.  It's been almost five years of marriage and not one brush stroke has touched my toes.  Pkin also implied that he was always up for nookie, another misrepresentation. 

I lied about being more open to change and that I was not as rigid as I really am.  I'm sure he thought he'd loosen me up, well maybe if there were more nookie ...  LOL!!!  He keeps reminding me that he's 45.  Once again, he's lying.  He's 44 and six months and 18 days.

More advice includes children, have them early which means you need find a man early which implies that you need to settle.  When you are young you have less standards and do not realize that you are settling.  I recommend that if you are smart marry a wimpy man who you can push around.  If you are less innately intelligent, marry a smart motivated man who you can push around.  Marry young, and have kids and be nice enough so that he doesn't find his co-worker attractive when you are 35.

I think that's all the advice I have to share.  If I think of anything else, you'll be the first to know.

Knowing Right, Doing Right

There are things in life that are easy to understand for example doing the right thing is the right thing to do.  It is also very easy to know what the right thing is. 

It is not, however, as easy to actually do the right thing. 

Fear keeps most people from doing the right thing.  For example fear of losing a job may keep someone from saying something that is very true and should be said.  Another situation of fear preventing you from doing the right thing is when you fear losing a friendship so you don't tell your friend that his or her new lover is actually one letter off, loSer. 

We know, logically, that if we fear losing a job the job must not be worth it in the first place.  And if we fear losing a friend then that person is not truly a friend and we're not really being much of a friend ourselves. 

It's all so easy in black and white, but we have mortgages and rents and we have a deep need for affiliation doing right is hard, oh so very difficult.  More to ponder ....

Freedom

Another Pkin contribution:

Liberals favor government action to promote equality, whereas conservatives favor government action to promote order.

Libertarians favor freedom and oppose government action to promote either equality or order.
