     1:30 am and I am wide awake! Since I started raising my granddaughter my life, as I knew it, has went a complete 180. Tonight I am on upset stomach duty. One minute those cute laughs and smiles can be at close range and then…well here comes dinner!  Been watching a lot of children TV lately, no really, a lot, and have you noticed that Porky the Pig wears clothes but yet, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck run around buck ass naked! WHAT’S THAT ALL ABOUT? Then Miss Daffy and Miss Bugs, well they get clothes and hair pins, hm-mm?

 Ever feel like you’re running the race of your life in flip flops? Not those high speed flip flops neither.Those Dollar store kind.The kind that a nickle piece of gum can wipe out. So here you are coming around the final turn.The crowed cheering you on.Coming to their feet.Pointing at you .Yes you…no..they are pointing…pointing..squash..there goes contact with flip flop and gum.Flips come completely apart! You tumble, slip, slide and come to a dusty halt  just short of the finish line.Then the rush of thousand of other flip flop wearing racers rush past you! Wait though! There is a  different way of looking at this.The crowd was cheering for you. They were pointing at the gum. waiting, watching and then..you , out of thousand other racers, made contact with the one piece of gum that saved the racers from certain dusty impact.You are a Hero! They rush down and lift you on their shoulders, yes, free beer tomorrow! Right!

 So I went the distance and wrote, published two books. Yes, me, an author. Friends and family are impressed,.I am impressed. Then, book stores around the country stop stocking hardback books.Why? Because the e book is the craze of the day. E book. Wow. Isn’t that the way the book publishing journey began? PDF file, load it up, check for formatting, send off, Wait. Now for 99 cents, my book that was hard back, gets downloaded into ..you guessed it, a hand held computer, back to it’s original place! Oh , by the way, it’s called Tin Roof Memories, available on the amazon.com book shelf. Thought I’d squeeze that in.

 Been walking a lot . You know, stroller. Tricycle. Hand in hand. Noticed that I’m getting hard. Yep, the bottom of my feet are like rock! Been eating healthy too. So healthy I am only allowed in rooms that have fans! My Grandfather used to be able to pass gas on a dime. Shake his hand , he’d pass. Walk behind him and you are in serious danger of  sudden  unexplained wind patterns. I realize now ,I have become my Grandpa.

 Am I the only one who listens to the voices in side my head? Just asking, put your hands down.  You know they got those smart phones now. Smart phones! You can actually see the person you are talking to. So this means the Wife can call me while I am driving and still tell me how to park! Sorry Honey, safety first. No talking on cell phones while driving! What do you mean  who is that there with me? Right!

 Ok, just a rant about ordinary life..or maybe not so ordinary.
