Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
T-Minus 60 hours and counting until my plane takes off for Argentina (with connecting flight in Chile). It is actually more like 61 hours but T-Minus 61 hours did not sound as cool. There is something about a nice round number like 60 that makes it sound more exciting / suspenseful.
This morning the wife and I were comparing concerns of ours about the trip. Actually, hers are better catagorized as outright worries. Here are the things we are thinking about...
------ The Wife ------
- How will the kids and I deal without a husband / father for 20 some odd days?
- What if he gets sick down there? I will not be there to nurse him back to health.
- What if his hotel is in a bad neighborhood and he gets robbed / attacked?
-------- Me --------
- I don't have 20 days worth of clothes, how will I get any laundry done?
So as you can see, we have different concerns. I have other concerns as well, just none that I will admit to the wife (gotta keep up the macho persona). I will admit I am taking more time lately to have the daughter on my lap and to pillow fight with the son. Yesterday the daughter and I took a trip to the grocery store to buy ice cream, cookies, soda and potato chips (4 things strictly forbidden by the wife - though ice cream is allowed occasionally). We consumed these as the Colts beat the Chiefs in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Then we watched my OTHER favorite team (that being whoever is playing the Cowboys) win their game. That reminds me of another concern for my list, how will I find the Colts games on Argentinian television?
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
