We had a nice quick breakfast this morning with the gang at the club. Then I got home to help get a few things organized around the house with Devin. Then for a while I watched College football while trying to match about 74 pairs of socks. Parents of young children, DON'T let them grown up. When they have the same size shoe as you (or bigger) all the damn socks look alike but NONE MATCH. And don't get me started about the underwear. Hell I don't know what is worse, thinking I am wearing Man Child's underwear or getting yelled at from the fire breathing hydra because I could not tell the difference.

Now her underwear I can tell. The problem is folding it. It is like taking 34 wads of dental floss and making a nice stack out of it. Once she complained about how I folded her underwear so I interlaced about 17 pair and it took her an hour to get them apart. But we got it done and watched a bit of ball.

Then it was time to start thinking about dinner. I was thinking about a nice pan fried steak, but that was too heavy so I ran to the store and we got the fixings for a nice healthy plate of nachos. Chips, roasted chicken, cheese, onions, salsa, pico de galo (there is a difference ya know), nacho peppers, taco sauce, more nacho peppers, sour crème, and more cheese. Yeah a nice light healthy meal. Oh yeah I had a very tasty non alcoholic beer by Becks. (Seriously it was pretty darn good.)

Now here was the most amazing part of the day or the weekend and after last nights football game it would have to be amazing to top that, Devin and I sat on the couch for almost 2 hours watching a couple of TV shows we DVRd. Yes Devin actually sat on the couch for two hours plus. I had to keep checking her pulse and holding a mirror under nose looking for vital signs. Now I am not medically trained even though our company has a worldwide recognized ILCOR approved First Aid, CPR, AED program, but I would know what to do if she had not vital signs. I would drive immediately to the horse stables open the gates and sing "Born Free" and watch that equestrian expense annuity kick in. (Really I am sober, just a little tired.) BUT I DIGRESS.

It was wonderful to sit and enjoy a few minutes of peace with the one you love.

In case you were wondering, we have not had a chance to get much past Abe Abelson's opening article in Barron's so the investment economic chatter will have to wait till tomorrow I hope. (What was that noise? It sounded like 52 people madly cheering.)
