For the Men...

If you find yourself exhausted and stressed from a daily grind of attending meetings, dealing with whiny students/customers/etc., and caring for a growing brood of small children, I have one word for you.

Today I went to Home Depot where I bought a spark plug, filters, and oil, then came home and tuned-up a hand-me-down chainsaw. After that I proceeded to cut down a pine tree along our driveway that died a few months ago.

It was glorious.

To continue the testosterone fueled escape from reality, tomorrow night we've invited some friends over and we're going to have ourselves a bonfire while drinking beer. I think we might just have to shoot some stuff while we're at it to complete the experience.

I hope that you were able to wear your alcohol, tobacco, and firearms hat while you did this.

Augustine would be so proud.

And suspenders...don't forget the suspenders!!! Ok...denim overalls will do too.

And I second the Augustine comment.

Josh, to recycle our quotes from the painting days of the Moose double: Mmm, he he. Uhhh, he he... FIRE!! FIRE!! YEAH, FIRE!! He he... he he he...

Power tools are great.
