Nothing beats...
 
I just returned home from a few hours at the park with my kids and I have to tell you, nothing beats lounging on on the back deck on a day with perfect weather. Wireless network to surf the web...Guinness in hand...the sound of the three year old having fun chasing the dog.

Life is good.

It is Sunday and I am at the office while my wife and kid plan their day of fun and play without daddy.



I am getting a new job.

What park did you go to that allows Guiness and has wireless access??

I'll admit to sneaking in a cooler of beer to my local park, but it's usually more trouble than it's worth because my wife is always freaked out that I'll be caught and locked up for the rest of my life. Not fun times.

Re-read what you quoted, KWhit. He was at the park. He had returned home when he wrote this.

She secretly likes the thrill and risk. Try doing it naked next time.

It can read either way actually.

I suppose it could. However, the sentence about the beer and wireless internet come immediately after the mention of lounging on the back deck of the home which at least implies the internet and beer are being enjoyed at home after he returned from a few hours at the park. However, there is ambiguity in the way he wrote it.

I thought nothing beats rock.

Life is good.

Time to make a list of things to do:
* find a place to call home
* make sure the home is nearby a park
* have some kids
* find someone willing to create kids with me
* designate a lounge room at home
* make sure the lounge room has the perfect climate 24/7
* get a good laptop
* make use of my unwanted IT education and hook up a wireless network
* load the fridge with a lot of beer
* figure out how you can start liking beer, especially that Irish stuff
* find a dog that wants to be chased
* learn how to not be afraid of dogs to even be willing to look for one

Looking at the list, we'll see 'world piece' before I'm done with it. :)

Ah, but he said "the back deck." How do we know the back deck isn't at the park???? He never mentioned his home at all.

So what about that?


Yeah, I know I'm reaching. :)

I think, by kids, he means his enslaved humans who he uses to mine titanium in his slave mines on Io, ie the Park. His back deck is his evil alien layer, built in the middle of a Volcano, like so many Bond Villains, but on another planet. Guiness is his trusty whip and perfect weather for them is acid raining on hardened Jupiterian carapace, which cleans off all the human guts from a hard day of slave driving. When he refers to liking the sound of "The three year old chasing the dog", it's really a code word that he likes hearing the test runs of the Zoltharian Death Ray that will soon be pointed towards Earth. Wireless network to surf the web- well, aliens from Jupiter use it to look up porn, too.

Of course, I could be wrong.

SI

I sure hope that list isn't in chronological order :)

Yep, this weekend was amazing here, too. Not a cloud in the sky for 3 days, cold in the morning, up to mid-70's by afternoon...just beautiful. To not have to use the air conditioning 24/7 by mid-April is amazing to me. And in fact, this morning it was 39 degrees when I woke up. In the 30's on April 18 in Tallahassee. I must be in heaven.

Yeah, it has been the same here in New Orleans. This is the most beautiful mild spring that I can remember in the 5 years since I've moved down here.
