A day off....

So what did I do today? I didn't set the alarm! HAH! I actually slept in till 9am, boys and girls! It was the best sleep I've had at Ty and Mel's yet. It's not that I'm uncomfortable or anything, it's just a different place, y'know? It's not home. But after passing my airbrakes course yesterday, I felt exhausted. So I read a bit more of The Restaraunt at the End of the Universe and zonked right out.

So, I woke up, did a light workout, then went to the gym with Tyler (if I'd have known I was, I wouldn't have done the light workout), and then we went out for lunch at a place called Houston Pizza where I. in fact, had a meal that totally didn't resemble pizza. Well, actually, it had sauce, meat, and veggies and was some what round and bready, but it wasn't pizza. It was a Quesadilla. I bet you wanted to read my blog just to find out what I had for lunch, didn't you?

Well, Michelle informed me of something that got me all teary eyed when I checked it out last night. First I'll give a brief back story. My buddy Shannon and I always get together and, not so much as berate our wives, because that would be dangerous. No, we'd get together and put a little spin on how tough it is to be a husband and father. Now, I in no way want to take away from how hard it is to be a wife and mother because we all know that Michelle has put up with me and the kids for many, many moons. It's just that when we get together, be it me and Shannon or any of my other guy friends, it's just guys, y'know? This explanation will probably only be understood by guys, eh? So we thought it would be funny to come up with a web comic that puts a tongue in cheek spin on the daily crap that husbands and fathers put up with. Very tongue in cheek! With disclaimers that say in no way should your wife kick your but for reading these comics.

So Shannon and I did a little net research to see which domain names were available, and after coming up with site names that actually existed and brought up content that not only made me blush but vomit in my mouth a little, we came up with the name "Take it Like a Husmand." Shannon secured the domain, put the website on his server and I started to learn a little HTML. We came up with some good ideas for the comic, and I was doodling again to figure out characters and looks. And then....

I came to Medicine Hat. And the whole project was put on the back burner. I promised that as soon as I could I would start submitting content, but with out a PC (I'm typing on Ty's Mac that I only know how to email and blog on) that would be a while. Plus this whole adventure is eating up my time, too. So Michelle tells me last night that I should check out the site. And I did! And I nearly cried. Shannon Porter, you're a sweet man! I'm not telling everyone what's there, but they can see it for themselves if they go to www.takeitlikeahusband.com. Check it out and say, "Awwwwww!"
