Daddys little girl

So I came home this week from work and Lisa told me that Krislyn, who is currently 3, had something to tell me. She was all excited. One of our friends kids was over, he is 4 and his parents had gone to a funeral and Lisa was watching him for them. Well, evidently he had got himself alone with her and wrapped her in a big hug and planted one right on her lips. At first she was supprised and shocked but then I guess it hit her what it was and she began to grin ear to ear. Yes my 3 year old was kissed by the neighborhood bad boy. (Well he is actually a sweet little boy but I'm sure you see my angle.) When she told me I said "Did you slap him?" She got a puzzled look on her face and just kind of stared at me. I then said "Next time a boy kisses you just give him a good slap on the cheek. Well her little eyes filled up with tears and she began to cry. She said "But Dad he is my friend." She then ran into her room and would not be comforted for a good 15 minutes.

Dad is insensitive. I admit it but what is a guy to do. Some boy comes along and kisses your little girl? I gave her hugs and told her I was only teasing about it (Yes I lie to my daughter too.) I told his mother that I would be forced to introduce him to my shotgun if he tries anything else. Oh the joys of being a father. After 4 boys I have come to realize that girls are indeed from a different planet then boys.

Fine I'll go ahead and do it!

So here I am with my own blog. I do not own a cell phone and am happy about it. I tend to be an old fashion type of guy and new technology does not excite me. All the gadgets that people get excited about do nothing for me. (Unless it is a power tool) Now for me to have a blog that is something else. Well see if there is anything interesting enough about my life to make people want to actually read it.

I have lots of people in my life that I have not kept in touch with. Many of them are very important to me but with work, kids, projects around the house and life in general I have not kept in touch with them. Maybe this blog could help fix that.

In my life I have had a great many experiences and opportunities that have made me who I am. I entitled the blog based on this. Many years ago my oldest brother Frank and I were talking about some opportunity I had facing me and he said something to the effect of "The opportunity of a life time comes along about once a month." I have found that to be true. I have seen opportunities come and go many times and I am none the worse for wear. Hope to see many of my friends and acquaintances on here from time to time. You never know it could be the opportunity of a life time.
