2nd Blogiversary

Two years ago today I launched this blog and I just want you to know that I've enjoyed sharing it with you. I want to thank you for all of the comments and kind words as I've had some serious ups & downs over the past two years.

Though I haven't been blogging much as of late, I still enjoy it and will continue for the time being. However, something is going to change. I don't know what, but it will.

I just went through a transformative weekend that has changed my outlook on life*. I'm thinking differently, communicating differently (that's the sound of Mrs. Horns dancing on the table you hear) and adjusting my outlook on life. All for the better.

We'll see what happens, but I urge you to stop back.

*Still a Democrat :-)

Crash & Burn

The wagon didn't treat me well this time around. In fact, I don't think the wagon fights fair.

Stress from work has kept me very busy and I won't be posting much until next week.

This Fri, Sat & Sun I'll be participating in the Landmark Forum and am really looking forward to it. If anyone has thoughts or experiences with them leave a comment.

Next time you hear from me I'll be a member of the cult Landmark graduate.

All the best,

Uncle Horns

Fire Dog Lake - Contest

In honor of our VPs recent exploits and the creative prose by their commenters, FireDogLake is having a contest aptly titled, Dickfest.

Submit no more than four lines of prose/poetry and win some Bill Maher swag and get your poem put on a t-shirt. Hurry as time is running out...

My lame entry:

he shot him in the face
he doesn't need a warrant
taking care of their base
isn't it abhorrent

Day Three

After a long and stressful day at work, I remain, smoke-free. Yeehaw. I'm tired.

37 Ways to Say Someone Is Dim

My favorite:

Skylight leaks a little.


One that's not on the list that I learned from my woodshop teacher in high school:

"Half bubble out of plumb."

(The plumb being the two lines on a carpenter's level.)

Day Two

Happy to say, still smoke free. Things are getting a little hectic at work, but I'm battling the stress by chain-eating Smarties. The sugar gives me a bump and that's a good thing. I'll be varying my intake soon by picking up Twizzlers & Blow-Pops later today.

Here's to many more smoke free days & nights...

Goldfish RESURRECTED

A goldfish gets its bowl drained of its water, then the water gets replaced by Mountain Dew and the goldfish dies. The Mountain Dew is then drained and replaced with water. The goldfish is still dead, but is resurrected with a 9 volt battery.

Back on the Wagon

There's a reason I haven't been blogging about my quest to quit smoking. I'm sure you can guess that the wagon hasn't treated me very well, in fact the wagon ran over me several times, backed up and tried to finish the job. Fortunately, the Horns' are a resilient people. Starting today you are going to see much more about my quest to give up the vile herb. (Not that one, CG, this is a family blog.)

I have a renewed faith that I can do it. I know the impetus has to come from within but I'm getting great support from Mrs. Horns and the lads. Particularly, the wee one who crawls on my lap, inches from my face so I can smell his budding halitosis and says, "DADDEEEEE." I don't need much more of a reason than that.

In the past, I've gotten tremendous support from the people who stop by to read my clever three word posts and I hope that continues. Rest assured I will keep everyone comprised of my battle and I appreciate all of your thoughts and good wishes as I put cigarettes behind me for good.

Snowy Wishes Come True

We have about 13" of snow here in northern Delaware and I'm in no mood to begin shovelling. It will be a relatively laid back day at the Horns' Estate as the wee one is at his grandparents and will be returning late this afternoon. The eldest lad is at his great-grandparents and will most likely return tonight.

The wee one and I were at the mall yesterday before it opened and had a little brekkie from the McDonalds. He really likes the hash browns and after getting his, he tore off toward the fountain. We sat beside the shooting water when he noticed all of the change at the bottom. "MONEY!" he exclaimed as he started to climb toward it. I pulled him back and explained that people throw money in and make a wish. He thought about that for a second and then hurled his hash brown into the center of the fountain. I'm not clear on the wish ruling for the hash-brown-in-the-mall-fountain, but he seemed happy and giggled as we watched the hash brown bob like a cork in the cascading waters.

I'm So NOT Surprised

Bush told Blair the US would invade Iraq two months before it happened:
Tony Blair told President George Bush that he was "solidly" behind US plans to invade Iraq before he sought advice about the invasion's legality and despite the absence of a second UN resolution, according to a new account of the build-up to the war published today.

A memo of a two-hour meeting between the two leaders at the White House on January 31 2003 - nearly two months before the invasion - reveals that Mr Bush made it clear the US intended to invade whether or not there was a second UN resolution and even if UN inspectors found no evidence of a banned Iraqi weapons programme.

"The diplomatic strategy had to be arranged around the military planning", the president told Mr Blair. The prime minister is said to have raised no objection. He is quoted as saying he was "solidly with the president and ready to do whatever it took to disarm Saddam"...
