#19: A lone man in the wilderness.

Diane was out of town helping family this week (the same family that stayed with us last month in post #5 "Nephew and Nieces Invade the Rebel Base").  They have adorable kids, and I was happy for Diane that she was able to go see them.  However, while she was gone, I was once again reminded how pathetic I am as a single man.  Here are some of the things I learned while she was gone.


1. Honey Nut Cheerios are like manna from heaven; otherwise I might have starved.


2. I have bad habits when I am alone.  I stay up too late.  I sleep in too long.  And I don't put the seat down.


3. I feel sympathy for couples who have a spouse on the road a lot.  It makes me want to be nicer to the traveling sales guys at work.


4. Diesel is a great dog, but snuggling with him just isn't the same as snuggling with Diane.  Plus, he really needs a bath.
