SHOW ME THE MONEY, HONEY!!!

I just returned home from my daughters home. The scene is now set for the NCAA final game on Monday. I am in a pool for the game and I have one chance to win. U.Conn wins, and I take home the money but if Duke prevails, I lose. I am currently in 7th place but I am the only one who went with the Huskies. Go U.Conn. To be honest the money is nice but the chance to rub peoples noses in defeat is even sweeter. This is the new kinder softer ThomaS.

I watched most of the Duke game tonight with my grand son and grand daughter on my lap, sleeping. My wife and I went out earlier for dinner and to watch the first game. It took me 35 years to realize that my wife is my best friend. I enjoy her company and respect her intelligence. She is so much better than I deserve and I have a lot of amends to make with her. Having the chance to restore the relationship gives me great satisfaction. Of course if she learns of this I will deny it and this entry will self delete.

So much of my happiness today is understated. A pleasant dinner, a good game, good conversation ,good company and grand children curled on my lap are what fills my life with meaning. Gone is the mad roller coaster seeking of thrills and escape and the lonely drowning of reality. They are not missed.
