Went to the gun range today and murdered a bunch of paper. Scored 197/200 on a bunch of targets after I got the sights adjusted.  ;D

We got home a little late and the wife had actually started cooking dinner!  :D

Having a job is much better than not.  Good on you Billy.

I worked at a defense company for many years. I got laid off in '91 when peace broke out, and hired in again in '96, working there until '14, when I retired. My hiring manager told me that I would have to take a drug test, and I responded, "If they fail me for coffee, I'm had". We both got a chuckle out of that. But I used to drink 2-1/2 pots of high-test a day, back then. Now, two cups of coffee, and I'm feeling like a tweaker.

I doubt that you are boring. After all, you have more animals than the zoo and running from swarms of honey bees sounds like fun.

yes all that is unusual, maybe, considering.

but i used to buy heroin with police officers with me in the car, and went to jail with communists who were newly captured from the jungle, and bounced down the road at 115 mph after having lost control of my motorcycle.

i haven't done anything particularly risky for a long time. i suppose getting stung by 200 honeybees in 30 seconds could qualify but all things are relative.

i once went down the road at 50 mph on the roof of my truck while 13,000 pounds of honey went off into the verge, but maybe that doesn't qualify.

what exactly does "boring" mean? i don't know anymore.  seriously.

i think facing hard moral questions and making difficult choices is really where the important scenes in th emovie lie. moral dilemmas are where the seriously life-changinf decisions have to be faced.

that's the un-boring stuff, and we all have to do it.
