Today has been a good day despite an aligning of events that did not work in our favor. These events were, as follows:

1) The kids off from school for Good Friday.
2) Cold temperatures and blustery winds.
3) The neighbors mostly out of town.

Now, you combine the above three on a bad day, and you’ve got the kids fighting all
day long. However, today went pretty well. I skipped basketball, having downed some melatonin last night, late, and falling asleep near eleven. This morning I let the “Live At Town Hall” DVD run in the player while I cleaned the first floor. I also loaded a ton of music onto my Mp3 player. The boys played video games through most of the morning. At about noon we turned off the video games. T, S, and I played football in the backyard, but we didn’t last long with the cold weather and potential for conflict. I read some Murakami on the couch and watched yesterday’s Thursday night lineup. The boys played upstairs with their action figures for a solid two hours. Amazing. The only downside…the first floor toilet clogged and I lost a very frustrating hour working on that fucker. My stomach, also, is killing me. I don’t know what I ate, but it’s burning a hole in my stomach.
I guess that I’m feeling my way through different moods today. This is a good thing. Easter. Rebirth. More later.
