And so it began...

"Hello World", as was written in the early years... of code :)

Well, on the inspiration of my Darling Wife(DW) and her dedication to recording the nuances and titbits of life that bring that little twang to the heart on remembrance - I have started this blog.... another few bytes of life thrown out there to be devoured by the ether of electrons.

I will admit that I have extraordinary little hope of updating this regularly, and even less that if this blog does last past one or two instances, that any who read it will be able to understand more than a few non sensically, misspelled words that may seem to be mashed together like a paper mashe projects from one of the Darling Kids(DK). Or if the unlucky reader can overlook those above art's of murdering the English language, I raise my glass to the adventurous spirits that can stand reading more than a paragraph that seems to have been sprayed liberally with a high calibre comma dispensing machine gun... because unlike my resume or other official documents -- my DW has not proof read it. :)

So after that little disclaimer - What do I intend; I really don't know...  other than at times a quaint saying, or memorable moment comes upon me that I would like to somehow record.. as if through these choice items recorded I aim to give some resonance of the quirky perspective of life the Great Lord above has chosen to give me.

And so what of today is worthy of note;

Coming Home:
Upon leaving work today I looked at my diary and unexpectedly discovered, with much glee, that I had tomorrow off. The mood lasted the journey home, and amplified nicely by the joyous greeting of kids running out of the house, up the drive and DD1(Age 5) even letting the carefully constructed bird catcher (made out of an old broken washing basket, old rope and a stick), fall, just to smile a greeting at me in the car.

In particular, DD2 (Age 4) deciding that today I needed to be directed to parking as if I was a jumbo; with many hand signals and orders shouted (Just missing those airport red hand light things) and then once completing the precision exercise (That today was a complicated maneuver due to the directions) she offered sincere and heartfelt congratulations that I had managed to so safely park the car.

Progressing inside I found DW blossoming nicely with pregnancy, sitting on the kitchen bench cooking dinner. I proceeded to inform her of my unexpected find that I had tomorrow off - her response, with an evil glint in her eyes and a quirk on her lips was... "Oh, you think you have tomorrow off,... do you?"

Twas' good to be home.
