Happy St. Patricks Day

I lost .8 of a pound.  Not too shabby.  About 2 more pounds to go and I'll be at my target weight.

On the odd side, we are at war with Mexico.  Well a trade war anyways.  It's the 1930's all over again.  Rising anti-semitism in Europe?  Check.  Wasting money on stupid gov't programs? Check.  Yay
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. -Karl Marx

Anyway...  That's my brief foray into politics.  Now onto more interesting stuff.

The poll is not going so well for my hat.  The sailboat is in a distant second.  I forgot to add when introducing myself that I am certified by the Coast Guard on Basic Keel boat Operations (don't ask).  This has come in handy approximately 0 times due to the extensive coast lines of Kansas and Missouri.  As soon as Kansas gets a Navy though, I just know that I'll make Admiral (at least as soon as I learn to swim).  I know what you are thinking...  "You got certified in sailboat operations without learning to swim?  You are stupid."  And you wouldn't be totally incorrect.  But that is the nuclearcowboy way.  It looked like fun and I don't fret the small stuff.  Anyway...  A guy at work has a Guppy 13 that he is trying to sell me for $500.  It's in decent shape and sailing is a lot of fun.  Slow but fun.  

Things have been slow around here.  Patrick and Nellie are enjoying their time off.  Miranda likewise.  In my attempt to get some exercise, I may have convinced Miranda to try fencing.  I'm not real great at it but it will be some exercise and better than sitting around.  Patrick and Nellie love it (at least the swinging the foil around) but don't care for the mask.  It's not a big deal because with the way they attack, I'm the one that needs the mask.

Well I'd better get off here.
