So our title for this post has nothing today with the content of this blog except it randomly popped into my mind. The rest of this blog is random as well so I guess that is our theme (not the assassination of Roman emperors).
- One of our most recent date nights involved attending a film series feature films from WWII. We settled into to the back row and shared a box of popcorn with each other while watching Anchors Away. The rest of the crowd at the film was of a slightly different age than us -- by an average of 50 years older. Arthur and I have always known that we are "old fogies" (with the most respect for our readers of the older generation) deep down inside and often find activities that attract a more mature crowd to be to our liking.
- I am one of the newest members of the bell choir at our church. Frankly, the bell choir is one of the best parts of joining a Methodist church. I am holding strong with the D and E bells as we prepare for Easter services.
- Our evening walks have returned in full force thanks to spring weather and longer evenings. We head out after work, talk about what we did at work, if we learned anything, and then discuss the major issues of state. Arthur often tells me that I am like a border collie and am always happier after a good, long walk-- it's true.
- We are counting down the days until Arthur gets his new screen printer at work-- 4 more days. We might even have a party to mark this momentous occasion.
- A few weeks ago I planted our tomato seeds and have seedlings happily growing in our basement under the grow lights. My boss and I both planted tomato seeds about the same time so I have been doing some friendly bragging about how well our seedlings are looking.
- We recently attended a wedding shower (a couples shower which is why Arthur had to join me) for two of our friends who are getting married this summer. Our table included Arthur and the husband of the matron of honor who are in our Bible study group. He is a high school English teacher so the discussion around our table focused on Mark Twain and writing Huckleberry Finn as well as Arthur trying to determine how he could make a machine to unwrap gifts that would be more efficient. The guys didn't seem to be interested in ooohing and awwwwing over the KitchenAid mixer or the latest model of crock pots. Why do we invite men to showers-- who is kidding themselves to think that they will have a good time?
- Arthur is currently watching clips on YouTube from Troy. I think he has decided to be more manly and warrior-like so tomorrow he is going to shout in is deepest, growly, man voice, " I am Arthur, slayer of inefficient processes, crusher of souls. Look on me in despair. Just beyond this door lies my destiny. Do not forget how menacing I am, I'm a lion. (So this loses a lot in translation being typed than hearing him shout it-- it made me tremble in fear.)
- I had a patient this morning who is terrified of flying overseas. The main reason is because there are sharks in the ocean and he doesn't want to end up in the ocean with the sharks. Two minutes later he tells me that his wife got him a gift certificate to go skydiving this spring which he is super excited about. I'll take my chances with the sharks if my plane ever goes down versus jumping out of a plane.
- Final randomness-- you are more likely to be murdered by your spouse than be attacked by a shark. Omnia Vincit Amor.
