A new chapter

If I blog from my phone, will I do it more consistently?

Work

The VofR is a dispatcher for 14 Fire Departments and 5 Police departments. In this job you see the entire gamut of calls. The other night while working the Fire Tactical position a 2-Alarm Apartment Structure Fire where 4 young children and their Dad died came in. The VofR stayed strong. Sad New Years night.

Funny Book

Finished a laugh-out-loud funny, weird, memoir by author and comedienne Elna Baker. The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance, made me laugh and made me cry. The VofR has a little bit of a crush on Elna Baker. Just a little one. She's wicked funny.

Super Bowl Sunday

Ok, Jason, you MUST have something to post today!  It's Super Bowl Sunday!  It's sports!  You must have some thoughts to share?

As for us, we will actually, at least in part, watch the Super Bowl.  I don't remember the last time I watched the Super Bowl.  My brothers would shun me if they knew.  Now, with a growing son, I just feel this great need to expose him to the sports world -- and allow him to have a clue what other kids in his class might be discussing tomorrow.  

Who will I be rooting for?  No clue.  I had to google who was even in the Super Bowl a few days back. 

Sadly...

I haven't really had many worthwhile thoughts this week.

However, if you saw my son today, you'd think he's been abused. It's sad really, and funny because he's a boy, and really does just bounce back.

Yesterday, running as fast as his little legs will let him down the hall, trips over nothing, and bashes his forehead into the corner of the doorway. Ouch. Huge goose egg. Probably more like an Ostrich egg.

Today, out at the park, little punk decides to stand up in the stroller. Of course he falls out, head first onto the sidewalk. SPLAT!

Fat lip, and an abrasion on his chin. He looks like an MMA fighter that lost his last fight.

What a kid. Maybe I can post some pics tomorrow.

Mine's dull compared to your list.  

new rules...

So... the reason posting has been erratic Amy, is that I only do this when I'm at work. And....I've been off for a few days, so here I am. Basically my attendance here is going to be sporadic, but I will try to write something meaningful whenever I can.

Last week I talked about making a list of things I love.

This morning, I will write 10 of them. Amy, you can go ahead and add as many as you wish.

1. I love my Wife and Son.
2. I love football.
3. I love Sports in General.
4. I love motorcycles.
5. I love to drive fast.
6. I love to read good fiction.
7. I love to write. (however, I haven't truly written in many years)
8. I love the Internet.
9. I love the way my kiddo comes and wakes me up in the morning and drags me by the hand to go play with him.
10. I love lots of different TV shows.

Amy....you're up!
