Maybe it isn’t right to post something someone else has written, but my blog is about retirement and even though I could rewrite this and make it my own I choose to post it the way I received it. Because I am lazy and this is good just the way it was written?
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Grandmothers and Grandfathers? Well, here it is:
There was this loving grandfather who always made a special effort to spend time with his son's family on weekends. Every Saturday morning he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some quality time -- just him and his granddaughter.
One particular Saturday, however, he had a bad cold and really didn't feel like being up at all. He knew his granddaughter always looked forward to their drives and would be disappointed. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter for the drive.
When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather who was still in bed. "Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?" he asked. "Oh, yes, Granddad, it was really wonderful. We didn't see a single asshole, blind bastard, dipshit or son of a bitch anywhere we went!"
Almost brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

Now before you call me a son of a bitch, I promise I will not exercise my right to use my copy and paste feature to post cute things people send me ever again. At the very least I won’t do this again until I run out of things to say on a holiday weekend. Just so you know it is not that I am lazy, overstuffed with turkey, or that it is the day after Thanksgiving that made me resort to cheating by using someone else’s work; although I really don’t want to write anything right now. Come to think of it I am so stuffed from yesterday that all I want to do is nap. No, the real reason I stole this e-mail and used it as my own posting is because I am home alone.
What does being home alone have to do with anything? Well it is Black Friday and my idea suggesting, proof reading, spell checking, nagging, lovely wife is out shopping and there is no one to suggest to me what to do, or read what I have done, to say nothing about that there is no one I can yell out to about how to spell that word I would want to use if I knew what words to write after she told me what I should write about. No the only way I can hope to post anything today is to resort to subterfuge and hope my wife does not spend all of our money. Happy Thanksgiving and Good Bargain Hunting on this Black Friday.
