Top Ten List
It can truthfully be said that my life has changed a great deal in the past few years. I used to live in an old trailer, and ate Captain Crunch and Big Mac's three meals a day. That all went by the wayside, when I met HK. She does a great deal to keep me going in the right direction. Tonight in the Top Ten List, I'll explain some of those things, and why it's necessary.
10. Chauffeur. When we go anywhere, she insists we take her car and that she does all the driving. All of it. It really doesn't bother me, since every time I drive, she starts complaining even before we pull out of the driveway. Even if we take 12 hour car trips, she does all the driving. No problemo.
9. Skipper of the boat. Again, with the driving thing. This time on the water. What bothers me, is it takes her about two seconds to make the decision. "No Hare, sit in the back". One of my goals in life is to drive the boat. I don't see it happening any time soon. Of course it is the middle of winter.
8. Dog walker. Of course, they're her dogs. But, do you know what it would cost to hire a dog walker?
7. Political pundit. If you know HK, you are very aware of her leftward political leaning. She does a good job making sure those around her know about it also. I have my own political consultant, and I don't have to leave my living room.
6. Laundress. The only reason she does my laundry, is she says I am incompetent to run the washer. Something about replacing the pump twice, and repairing it another time.
5. Appliance repair person. As I said above, we had to replace the pump twice, and repair it another time. In fairness to me, the tools belong to her and to quote Benjamin Franklin, "Be not a borrower or lender be." Believe me, if's for the best.
4. Movie Critic. Me, "What do you say, we go see the Dukes of Hazard. Jessica Simpson is in it." HK, "We will not watch such drivel. There is some highbrow English thing on, with actors from Masterpiece Theater. We need to go see that. I'll drive." I get culture that way.
3. Fire builder. She used to be a Camp Fire Girl. Me? I could see the house burning down. It would be back to the trailer for sure.
2. Mexican Restaurant expert. It must be some kind of mental thing, but when I go to a Mexican restaurant, I can never remember what to order. Once when HK was out of town, I had to call her and ask. "Hello." "Yea, hey I'm at Cinco de Mayo's Pancho Villa's. What do I eat here/"
"El Grande Burro." "Thanks, have a nice trip, see you when you get back."
And finally the number one thing about HK...
1. She hangs sheet rock.
Back Tuesday with another, So as I was Saying essay. We will talk soon.
