We had homemade pizza for supper last night. It was delicious:
On a completely unrelated topic, I thought troop cuts were in the offing, but that hasn’t stopped military recruiters from bombarding me with text messages about a career in the service. It’s not really me they want. It’s my daughter, who is starting her senior year of high school next week. Either the little shit is giving them my phone number, or, more likely, the school is passing off my number as hers and cooperating with the recruiters to generate cannon fodder.
At first I just ignored the messages, but finally I broke down and replied to one yesterday, letting the recruiter know that the number belonged to a lazy, middle-aged hippie who is wholly unsuited for military service. She called me anyway! (I guess they don’t read replies but rather call any number that generates a response.) We chatted for a while, and after she learned that my daughter’s plans don’t include military service, she wished us luck and hung up. I’ll go back to ignoring the messages.
Last completely unrelated topic: my car is in the shop right now getting a really cool stereo system installed, and I’m ridiculously excited about it. I don’t buy new cars for myself because I’m cheap practical, and Florida is a wonderland of low-mileage cream puffs if you know where to look (hint: obituaries), so I don’t miss the new car experience at all.
But I do miss having the latest integrated media technology. Now I shall have it, and just in time for my long drive up to visit my old gran this weekend!
Got any exciting plans yourself?
