Top 5: Things I Noticed About Dad’s Update

5. It was Depressingly Good. Better than Mine, and By More than Just a Little

4. It was Surprisingly Similar to Mine Back in the Day When I Did These Entries for Fun and Nobody Ever Read Them- Back in the “Geocities Era”

3. He Didn’t Label His Top Five… I Think It’s His Top Five Favorite Things… Possibly Whilst Drunk

2. Dad Doesn’t Know How to Put this on the Internet, so I was Able to “Salvage” it, as he Said

1. Dad, Too, Suffers from ADHD.

The Following is an Update Straight from Don Gillespie

Motto: Never leave the computer running and unattended while Dad is home. He can be dangerous if not under direct supervision.

> Yes just as the motto states, you snooze you lose (the right to provide an update). Or maybe I should use computer sign language Bear with me, this is my maiden voyage, and I’m glad to have you along for the ride.

> Cell phones are evil and have made slaves to most everyone that has ever placed it to their ear and heard the vastness of dead silence. As a communication tool they Suck (Can I say Suck on here? Or should it have used Su*k instead? Maybe “really are poorly designed” would have been a better choice of words. Oh to be politically correct, it is driving me up a wall and I have just started). Well I have rambled enough that I forgot my point. Cell phones do su*k though.

> What is happening in the world? As I was walking to the barn this morning to get my truck so that I can drive to work and earn a buck, I noted that the North Star does not seem as bright as it did when I was a kid. Could it be that the universe is running out of fuel? Maybe the Dad on that star has turned down the thermostat. Maybe it is the subtle light pollution from the metropolis of Lebo. Maybe it is air pollution that has blocked some of the brilliance. Maybe my eyes are not as good as they once were. Or could be the memory has recalibrated me to make me think the North Star is not as bright. As a kid the little dipper was clearly visible, now it is best left to the imagination. The North Star is the end of the handle of the little dipper, if you were asleep the day the teacher covered that topic.

Something that was cool and everyone should experience at least once. One late night the new weatherman said the Northern Lights were visible. We, Vickie and I, went up to Sun Dance and watched the lights. It was super. I would try to describe it but you would be bored and I could not do it justice. Trust me on this one; go check it out the next time. The preceding was my obligation to provide meaningful content to this column. There could be a test at the end so take notes.

> Speaking of sleep, what the heck is this with the early version of daylight savings time? Crap, it is only an hour earlier, yet I fell like I lost a week some place. In a few years, maybe Congress will see a need to have an additional hour adjustment. Then it will be daylight savings savings time and we will lose an additional week. Just thinking about it makes my hair hurt.

> !nuf rof tsuj gnitirw drawkcaB. (Figure this one out, it is the test).

> Well time to sign off. Provide all comments the normal way. I’m sure Aaron will pass them along. At a minimum the bad ones for sure. The “Quote” section was done by Aaron. Then he needed to go off and think for a while and left for a minute.

Top 5:

5. The stars on a clear night.

4. The stars on a clear night while setting in the hot tub.

3. The stars and an occasional airplane passing overhead on a clear cool night while setting in the hot tub.

2. Watching a meteor shower sitting in the hot tub.

1. Finding the computer running and your son in the basement playing pool, totally unaware of any of the above.
