Random Personal Notes

by Armed Liberal at May 19, 2008 11:33 PM

I tend to talk about my wife Tenacious G, and Biggest Guy - who is doing just fine, thanks - and not enough about my other equally wonderful and bragworthy sons. So I thought I'd be a doting parent for a moment and share this.

(Note that we had a successful surprise birthday party for TG Saturday night)

[13:48] {Middle Guy}: hey pops [13:48] {Middle Guy}: how was the party?
[13:49] MARCDnzgr: huuuuge success
[13:49] {Middle Guy}: nice!
[13:49] MARCDnzgr: Debra's husband Mark got video of Grace walking through the door
[13:49] MARCDnzgr: priceless
[13:50] {Middle Guy}: hahaha
[13:50] {Middle Guy}: do you have a copy?
[13:50] MARCDnzgr: I can't believe I managed to surprise her
[13:50] MARCDnzgr: getting it - will be on YouTube
[13:51] {Middle Guy}: haha
[13:51] {Middle Guy}: that's awesome
[13:51] MARCDnzgr: she totally busted me
[13:51] MARCDnzgr: found the cc charge for liquor from the Wine House [13:51] MARCDnzgr: I lied like a rug
[13:52] {Middle Guy}: oooh wow
[13:52] {Middle Guy}: what did you say?
[13:52] {Middle Guy}: and how much booze did you buy?
[13:52] MARCDnzgr: too much
[13:52] MARCDnzgr: 1 case champagne (drank 3 bottles)
[13:52] MARCDnzgr: 1 case white (drank 6 bottles)
[13:52] MARCDnzgr: 1 case red (none)
[13:54] {Middle Guy}: wow
[13:54] {Middle Guy}: so yeah, what story did you sell her?
[13:54] MARCDnzgr: yeah, we're liquor-heavy (dont get any ideas!!)
[13:54] MARCDnzgr: on the booze? That I bought a case of wine for us and that some friends at work wanted some too, so I bought for them
[13:56] {Middle Guy}: haha yeah I was like I was thinking of not coming up anymore, but i might have to make an exception
[13:57] MARCDnzgr: be nice to see you - we're gone this weekend but will be the weekend after
[13:57] {Middle Guy}: ... you're gone this weekend and there's a ton of booze in the house... hm....
[13:57] MARCDnzgr: roh-roh...
[13:58] {Middle Guy}: heh it's cool i think i'm stuck down here hosting a beer and brat shindig
[13:58] {Middle Guy}: you got lucky
[13:58] MARCDnzgr: sounds nice
[13:58] MARCDnzgr: I need to get down and see your digs
[13:58] MARCDnzgr: maybe next weekend?
[13:58] {Middle Guy}: sure
[13:58] {Middle Guy}: oh i have a fun story for you
[13:59] MARCDnzgr: shoot
[13:59] {Middle Guy}: I was pretty damn pleased with myself
[13:59] {Middle Guy}: So I went to my game theory prof's office hours today
[13:59] {Middle Guy}: and I asked him out to lunch as part of the dine with the professor deal marshall has
[13:59] {Middle Guy}: and we were talking etc
[14:00] {Middle Guy}: and i was like oh btw I'm {name}
[14:00] {Middle Guy}: and he was like Danziger?
[14:00] MARCDnzgr: ??
[14:00] {Middle Guy}: Me: wow, uh, yeah
[14:00] {Middle Guy}: him: yeah I see your name on the top of the scores chart all the time
[14:00] MARCDnzgr: nice!!!

[14:01] {Middle Guy}: and it's a pretty damn big class
[14:01] {Middle Guy}: so i was pretty f**king pleased with myself walking out that door
[14:01] MARCDnzgr: no kidding
[14:01] MARCDnzgr: now you hit him up for any interesting projects he needs help on...
[14:01] {Middle Guy}: hah exactly
[14:01] MARCDnzgr: seriously, congrats
[14:02] {Middle Guy}: yeah thanks pops
[14:02] MARCDnzgr: deserved glory, methinks
[14:02] {Middle Guy}: I'm doing pretty well for myself this quarter
[14:02] MARCDnzgr: you feel damn good
[14:02] MARCDnzgr: can't articulate exactly what it is
[14:02] MARCDnzgr: your 'aura'
[14:02] {Middle Guy}: haha yeah
[14:02] {Middle Guy}: thanks
[14:02] MARCDnzgr: meant what I said about proud
[14:02] MARCDnzgr: was just thinking how cool it is to be learning something with you
[14:03] {Middle Guy}: thanks pops
[14:03] {Middle Guy}: :-)

That's funny, and oh so heartwarming. My children are a bit older and they are now the ones inventorying the booze before I come visit :-)

#2 from Brent Buckner at 5:50 pm on May 20, 2008

That brought a smile.

Post a comment

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
