Okay life continues to move forward with and without my input. The good news is that I did receive my passport by FED EX yesterday. So thanks to the Irish Consulate for the help and the understanding that I appear to be semi literate when it comes to filling in forms. Now I need to start to confirm my tickets as I have them in paper and know some of the flight times have changed. So life gets better if nothing else

So my wife and I are having our last and final child. I am going for a vasectomy. Having had the first consult and meeting a doctor, I believe I need to be on Valium before I go. He did what felt like a complete examination and for several days after it felt like he had strong hands. Don’t ask but it was painful. So more details than you needed I guess. I know I would like to / need to be completely asleep while this surgery takes place. I have yet to visit a few other specialists before I make a choice.

Life is good otherwise. So I found a friend online of late and think I managed to insult him by spelling his name incorrectly. What is funny is I spelt it correctly to find him and when I emailed him I completely goofed! So with any luck I did not completely ruin the chance to meet up with him when I get home.

So no more news, but my kids were asked while reading the other day why is the dog in the picture wearing glasses. The answers were great!

Twin B: Because he needs them to read. –> A logical answer.

Twin L: Because his insurance would not pay for contacts! –> WOW. Not a conversation we have ever had near the kids as I wear glasses. No interest in contacts. But the answer really shows how what he hears is been logged for future use.

BTW: Open your mind and look up Ron Paul if you follow American Politics! This guy is interesting and though provoking.
