Time to restart

It's time to restart the blogging, but I think I'm going to go quiet at first. I'm thinking about going ahead and posting some of the chapters of the book that I have just finished writing, abut I'm not sure about that either. What I do know is that there are a lot of things that I'm pondering, and getting them out in a written form seems to help.

For the first post in over a year, I hate to say that I'm going to have to cover middle age and the increasing revelation that I have entered into with both feet. The bottom line is that I really don't mind. Here are my top 10 signs that I have entered middle age:

1. I'm often a passenger in my car because my 15 year wants to drive
2. I'm living with three women (wife and two daughters) who all criticize my fashion choices
3. I look forward to the commute home and National Public Radio
4. Lawn care is high on my priority list and it irritates me when the grass is too long
5. I'm pretty sure I'm not the smartest person in the room anymore
6. God is less vengeful
7. I've lost all but one grandparent
8. I avoid arm wrestling my son because I'm afraid I might lose
9. I have no illusions that if I quit shaving my head it would grow back
10. I have friends who are Elks, Shriners, Rotarians, and part of other "old guy" groups

If anybody has any thougths on that book idea let me know.
