One of the great mysteries of life

Here I am sitting by the lake reflecting on the meaning of life. Ok, not really, I am reflecting on much more important things than that. After all, if there is one thing I have learned in my life it's that you will never understand, nor figure out life and its meaning.

Stopping By The Lake On A Sunny Evening

You know life is good.

I'm sitting here with my little notebook, down by the lake with a cold beer in my hand, writing in this little blog and thinking "life is good". Well actually I am thinking that and two other things. One is that it is very hard to see the screen of my little notebook when I am outside of the little house on the lake because of the glare of the sun, and two, that I am probably going to have one hell of a headache in the morning.

Everybody Talks About The Weather

As I was driving behind the dirty windshield today, I realized something. Every morning before I go to work, and then when I get to work, I flip through all the channels to watch the weather forecasts. I learned along time ago that no one can accurately predict the weather so I put all the forecasts together then use a proprietary formula to come up with what the weather will be. I am right 50% of the time, which is about the same as any one channel. But I digress.

Men is men, women is women

I heard something on the radio this week that got me thinking. There was an article in the Boston Globe the other day about a business that wanted to have a "Gentleman's Only" night at their restaurant and N.O.W. and the ACLU both objected to it saying it was discrimination.

Why is it discrimination when men want to have a men's only club but not when women want the same? Can I join Curves? I think not. Honestly ladies, and yes I even include you from NOW who maybe on the fence if you know what I mean, do you really want to hang around with a bunch of men who are going to be drinking and swearing and burping and passing gas? Is that really your idea of a good time? You won't find me wanting to go to a Tupperware party or a Mary Kay event. Not interested in the least (now Naughty Nightie might pique my interest some).

It's not that I am not for equality among all, I certainly am, but why does everything we do have to become so homogenized? Well, at least when it comes to women thinking they aren't being included? I think women should be paid the same as a man, I don't believe a woman's place is in the home, they should be allowed all the same opportunities as men in the work place, but they don't need to be included in everything, just as men don't need to be included in everything a woman does.

I don't know, maybe it's me, but men need men time and women need women time, because once we lose this, we all become the same, and I am sorry I like the differences between men and women. But the maybe I'm just a pig.
