2. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

6. There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.
7. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

DAD'S 41st BIRTHDAY WAS ON SUNDAY!!!!!!
On Sunday, Febuary 15, 2009 Dad turned 41. Not quite a big deal as 40, but it still makes him closer to 50!
On the chilly day of Dad's birthday we headed down to the Kansas State Fairgrounds with Kert. I got to bring my barrel horse which way interesting. Dad placed but didn't win any money :( and Kert placed but didn't win any money. :( When we were all packed up we headed out to get some dinner. Usually we eat at the Sterloin Stockade, but whadja know they close at 9:00 p.m. and we got there at 9:10. Bummer. Just up the street was a Freddies so we headed there. Luckly it was open.:) They have great chicken strips and the SKINNIEST, SALTIEST fries I have ever eaten. When we were all done eating we headed back up for ice cream. Kert and I opted for plain ol' chocolate while Dad got this new chocolate special. I didn't think that it looked very good but Dad said it was pretty good but not worth the money. Can you tell he's an accountant? We got home at 11:30 that night and we went to bed. After that day, Dad would never be 41 agian. He would be 41 and 1 day!

22 days til' I turn 13!
