Things I like

It's been a fair while since I'ved posted here. Well, it's been a hellvua long time. Nevertheless I'm back in the blogging saddle. Thought I'd crank things up with some thing I like.


* Good whiskey. I swore off the stuff a good while back, but I'll always be a fan of good whiskey. I hate seeing folks ruin perfectly good whiskey by mixing it with stuff. I've seen guys buy a $50 bottle then ruin it by cutting it was a 50-cent Coke.

* People with heart. Hell I know we all have a heart or you'd be dead. The heart I'm talking about is having the moxey to set up and stand out.

* People who don't quit. I hate a quitter. The deal with quitting is it's real tough the first time you do it. Then after giving up and quitting a few times it becomes easy. I like folks that hang in there no matter what the odds.

* Dogs. There have been very few times in my life when I didn't own a dog. They loyal and listen without talking. I think it was Gene Hill who said, "People who say money can't buy happiness never had a puppy."

* Kids. I've got a good one and wouldn't trade her for a gold cow. Even before I was a parent I like kids a lot. I spent four years in high school as a teachers aid in the kindergarten. In fact, I've often said if I had it to do over again I'd be a kindergarten teacher.

* Trees. You see to many neighborhoods these days that don't have tree. Bradford pears dont' count. I'm talking about real trees like oaks, hickory and maple. There's just something strong and solid about having a bunch of trees around.

* Old men. I grew up around some world class old men and I'm looking forward to being one. Some people dread getting old, but I'm looking forward to it. You can be amean cuss and sort of get away with it because people will just say, "Aw don't mind him, he's just an old man."

* My wife. It should go without saying that a man should like his wife, but I think I like mine more than most husbands like theirs. I'm sure I married the best one. She puts up with a lot and doesn't complain and she surely has a lot of things she could complain about. They behind every great man is a woman, but at times I just hope I'm good enough to be the one standing behind her.
