A Day In The Life

I am feeling both guilty and yet strangely exuberant today, for I am taking a well deserved day off and enjoying life as one should. I admit that I am a workaholic, and that it gets in the way of family and friends, and the simple things in life. My guitar hero, SRV, said in his song "Tightrope" that "the simple things in life bring the greatest pleasure" and even though I subscribe to that theory, I find myself mired in work and the learning process. It makes me a rather boring old fool.

Little Bit is growing fast, and is a joy to an old man who gets lonely a lot. Here is a pix of my two best girls.




We have named her Louisea, after her mommy, Abigail Louise, and she quickly earned the nickname Weezy. She is the funniest little dog I have ever had. I find myself going full circle, from owning German Shepherds as a youth to now owning this cute little German wiener. The more things change, the more they remain the same, and all that shit. I went to the pet store last night on my never-ending search for the right computer desk, and bought her a stuffie that is as long as she is, with a squeaker in both ends. My day is filled with this "squeak, squeak, squeak" but it tells me she is happy and playful. Rosie is off Good Will hunting, and I am left to my devices today. I have a bit of a head, so I said fuck it, today I goof off. I am glad that I am doing so, because I am getting a bit fucked up with all this work and no play. Makes Charlie Coon a dull boy, and all that happy crappy.

I think spring may be here, or at least the days are getting better. I sat on the deck with the pup and had coffee this morning, and it was so refreshing I felt almost human. I suffer badly from SAD, and this day is a welcome relief from the gloom and doom of winter. Methinks I shall sit out later, have a cold Heineken's, and take a little nap. There is really nothing else I would rather do...

Drive on,

Charlie~
