Mid-life Crisis=Robots?

Last night, I told Leslie that I may be about ready for a mid-life crisis.  She asked me if that would come in the form of a sports car or an affair or what.  I think it could come in the form of building a giant robot.  I could ride the robot to work, have it destroy people i didn’t like (note to reader: be nice to me), it could do math for me, it could protect me from inclimate weather, it could build other robots for me so i could start a robot army, and countless other things.  We’ll see.  I’ll keep you posted.

I was thinking this morning about my months after graduating from college: I was staying at my parents house, looking for a job, and dating Leslie.  My parents house was undergoing a flea infestation.  I don’t know how those things happen, but i never want to have carpet.  Every night when i got home, i would take off my shoes and walk through the house in my socks.  I would then venture into the bathroom and pick around 25 or so fleas out of my white socks and put them in the toilet.  I would then walk through the house again and repeat.

Then i found a job and moved out.  The End.

I have been married now for 10 years. Got engaged 11 years ago, and had my first date with Leslie 12 years ago.  We went to ToysRUs.
