Get Over It

It's a wonderful day here in the great pacific northwest. The sun is shining and mist is rising from the green grass and healthy vibrant cedar trees. I can think of very few things that are more uplifting than a beautiful day after having gone through the bleak dreary days of winter. Shoot, I didn't even need a flashlight to pick up Rip's easter eggs this morning as we strolled through the park.

While walking around one of the lakes I heard a bit of a racket and the saw what looked like a duck putting on some sort of mating ballet in the water. Soon there will be mother ducks waddling and swimming around with their adorable broods in pursuit. Ain't life grand in the spring.

Although I'm taking a wee bit of a sabbatical from the foundation, I'm always on the lookout for something to aid me in the delivery of relief to the fragile and often broken souls turning to us for help and what I found yesterday should work very well, LED ZEPPELIN LULLABYES!! It seems like the perfect aid for those boomers needing a little help in achieving inner peace. Have I ever mentioned that boomers can be the biggest pain in the ass on the planet? Somewhere along the way a lot of boomers decided that happiness and success were entitlements, not something that had to be earned. As my former room mate Billy was so fond of saying, so it goes.

As I like to say and often get in hot water for saying at the foundation:

Suicide is not painless if left to an amateur.

And this is something that I'd probably be drawn and quartered for saying but I often feel like screaming while listening to certain self absorbed boomers going through their "poor little me" routine.

  1. Not yet March and Spring has arrived in Canada? The gods are truly smiling on you! The boomers should listen to songs with the word "boom" in them. Try the link below if you want to laugh and spit at the same time.

    1. yes, spring is here and the grass is starting to grow. the gods might be smiling at the moment but those rascals can turn a smile into a frown pretty quickly.

      The boomers would like Lulu because of her age. Almost every boomer I know won't listen to anything other than their "classic rock"

  2. Yeah, spring is always nice, especially up north.

    The Rat is always going on with his "poor little me" routine, and some followers actually pretend to give a shit. If he wants sympathy it is in the dictionary between sex and syphilis.

    1. picked up more daffodils this morning and my watch has been sitting in the brilliant sunshine. the manual says after a full charge it's good for 180 days, so i got that going for me too.

      yeah, the rat is very sensitive to criticism. he didn't appreciate my honesty.

  3. It's starting to look a lot like spring here as well, but still a little chilly in the mornings when I have to walk the husky hound. I have found myself in the woe is me phase lately because I have been bummed about my ear surgery, but I know it could be a lot worse. Sometimes it's just hard to see the forest through the trees. Thanks for the perspective, Mr. Rosewater.
