I understand that I’m getting older, which means that either my bladder has shrunk to the size of a pee, or its tank level sending unit had begun sending erroneous signals to my central nervous system. Whatever the deal is, it means I seem to almost constantly have to take a piss (except, it seems, when I’m actually standing there trying to take one; then, not so much). So I’ve gotten used to getting up a time or two in the middle of the night to take a leak, and, since I don’t really sleep anyway, that’s no big deal. But it gets a bit old in the morning.

I mean, I have to take a leak before I get into the shower. Also when I’m in the shower, and as soon as I get out of the shower. I have to pee while I’m brushing my teeth. In fact, as soon as get done taking a leak, I feel like I need to pee again. And, most definitely, I have to piss on the entire 30+ minute ride in to work. You can talk about the conservation of mass all you want, but I think it’s bullshit. When it comes to bodily liquid, I am definitely creating more than I’m putting in. I really don’t get it.

Speaking of things I don’t get, Super DIRT week starts here today. This is apparently a big deal, and involves cars going around in circles on a dirt track. I have to admit I don’t really care, but they’re supposed to have some really nice weather for it, so good for them.

The weather dork is referring to the impending 75+ degree weekend weather as “Indian Summer.” This, of course, is bullshit. In order to have Indian Summer, you need to first have enough snow on the ground to track small animals – or at the very least, a killing frost. Neither of which we’ve had yet. I’m not sure where I get that from, but it sounds pretty truthy, so I’m going with it. Plus I’m old now, and therefore automatically endowed with wisdom.

The dogs and I (oh, and the cats) are on our own for a few days, as da wife is off to DC for something or other. Hopefully the cats are fully prepared to start actually eating the dead critters they keep leaving around and crapping outside. Tough love from me.

Oh well, early day for me, so it’s time to get my act together. Plus, I gotta take a leak.
