Why Do I Bother?

My brother and his wife cooked dinner for us today, [tag]Easter[/tag]. It was very good. He marinated 3 butterflied legs of [tag]lamb[/tag] in different marinades then grilled them today. I love lamb.

It was also nice to see the whole [tag]family[/tag] together today. That doesn’t happen very often these days. It almost didn’t happen today in fact since I usually work on Sundays, but a fortunate accident made it possible. Saturday I went into work as I always do. I unloaded all of my gear and went to sign in when the person who covers our [tag]vacation[/tag] time off showed up. It was unexpected since I wasn’t aware that anyone was on VTO (vacation time off) that day. He approached me with a confused look on his face and said, “what are you doing here?” It seems that I had signed up for Saturday and Sunday off this week and had completely forgotten about it. It took me about 2 minutes to load up again and get the hell out of there. A bit embarrassing though. I’ve never done that before.

While it was nice to spend time with my family, it was even nicer to spend some time with my [tag]wife[/tag] who has been away the last couple days visiting her family. We went to see a movie, “Inside Man” with Denzel Washington, and came home to eat grapes, drink wine, and play a game of cribbage. Our 3rd anniversary is coming up next month. I am still so much in love with her in spite of the fact that she recently pointed out a new [tag]gray hair[/tag] where there shouldn’t be one. Use your imagination.
