“You must have too much time on your hands”

clip.jpgIf the date stamp showed you what time I posted this (on a Friday night), you’d see just how much I love projects. I always have, especially as a little kid. I’ve been working on tonight’s little endeaveur for a couple of days and if it wasn’t for Sarah’s urging, I probably would have worked on it straight through dinnertime without eating.

If previous projects are any indication, some of you will respond to the upcoming one with the never-as-clever-as-they-hope “You must have too much time on your hands” accusation. Actually, I’ve never felt like I have lots of time on my hands because there are always so many engaging little projects to do.

That despised little “time on your hands” accusation makes me wonder what those people are doing while I’m doing my thing? Watching the tube? Playing with pets? Sleeping?! Do these activities innoculate them from the TMTOYH scruteny?

So with this defensive little post, I propose a moratorium on the TMTOYH accusation.  Not even as a joke.

    Oh, I should add that today happens to be my dad’s birthday. If there ever were an example of a guy who stays busy with countless projects, it’d be my dad. Happy Birthday and thanks for the “stay busy” genes, Dad.

    …..but if it weren’t for your projects, the rest of us would lead dull and boring lives.

    Any project that involves a disclaimer must be good. What is it? I can’t take the wait any longer!

    I’m probably a week away from launching this one. I’m waiting for some essential components to arrive. Please hold.

    I love that you are too busy with projects to watch TV, eat and sleep!
    Can’t wait for the next one!
