The Never-Ending Ramblings...

Blindside

Oh my gosh I am so swamped - with website updates mostly, but other stuff too.

Things at home really suck right now. .

Laney and autumn had a great time at the Blindside concert last night.

So, Reggie just called me on the phone and asks me how I’m doing. Like I’m gonna say..."Horrible Reggie. Things stink for me now. How bout you dude? How's it going with you?"

Remember, Reggie is the number two guy in our department.

So, instead, I say, after a brief hesitation, "Fiiinnne. Reggie. And you?"

"Good." And then he repeats it. Not sure if this is a southern thing or what but I do it too...'good good good.' he says. And then he adds, "I can't complain."

"That's great Reggie." I say, "Can't complain is really a good thing." I should know, cuz I have lots to complain about and I'm envious of his complain-free status. "Especially if you mean it." Not implying he doesn't, just underscoring the greatness of such a desired state.

He pauses for a second. "Yeah." He says like he is really contemplating my words. "It is."

Well, I hurry up and get off the phone with him. It's hard to maintain peppiness when you feel down.
