I have not been doing very well on my blog updates, mostly cause I have nothing to say. But I can't sleep and I am bored so I have the "perfect storm" for blogging.
The biggest question I have is why I would name this blog questions when I don't ever have any questions?
When somebody puts a word in "parenthesis" do you have a picture of someone doing air quotes with their fingers?
Living with a 2 yr old makes me realize how great they have it. The hardest thing Carson has to do tomorrow is get out of bed, then he just has to play all day until he gets hungry. After somebody makes his lunch for him and cleans up after him he can play some more or perhaps take a nap. How great is that? He doesn't even have to be bothered by using the toilet when he has to go he can just go in his pants and somebody else takes care of it. Free food served to you, playing all day, naps and no job....that is my utopia.

The Trade Show
If I keep having trouble sleeping I may be blogging more than I thought.
We had a trade show this weekend at the Idaho center and today was my day to cover it. So I got a cup of good ol chevron coffee and headed over the hill, by the time I got there I was pretty revved up because I bought the "extreme caffeine" coffee. As I rolled into the parking lot 15 minutes after the show was supposed to start (I always like to show up to trade shows late because they have all kinds of threats about punishing you for unmanned booths and tearing down early, so I always try to tear down early and leave my booth unmanned as much as possible. I mostly want to see if they are going to try kick us out of a show that we pay $$$ to be in, as of yet they have not even warned us so I will keep trying) Anyway, I rolled into the parking lot 15 minutes late and there was like 2 cars in the whole parking lot, my first thought was
Every show we do Kate gives me a information packet that has all the details for that show in it, she puts it a nice folder with a label "Canyon County Home show" for example. And every show we do I lose that folder, (the last show she gave me 2 folders and I lost them both) it is a little ritual we have. So I was looking through my bag not finding the info packet and lo and behold I find a info for the last show we did, which does me no good at all. Then I remember not only does she give me a info packet she always emails the schedule to me at least twice sometime three times. So I get out the lappy and fire it up. As soon as I get logged in I notice that I am picking up wireless from the hotel next to me so I check my email and go to a few other sites that I frequent and waste about 10 minutes doing nothing. Still nobody in the parking lot
I finally get outlook opened and find the schedule and sure enough the show doesnt' start until 11:00,
the end
I did show up 15 min late (the second time) and started tearing down my booth 45 minutes early and still now warning from the trade show police.

"Holy Crap! everybody in the whole trade show is late today"My second thought was
"was I supposed to go to the Idaho center or Expo Idaho".I ruled out the latter pretty quickly because I had helped set the booth of 2 days before and I was pretty sure this was the same place. So the only other option was all of the other 100 exhibitors were late......but wait.... maybe I should check the schedule my secretary had given me for the show and see what time it starts.

The Begining
My plan was to name this blog, "Questions; where there are no right or wrong answers just questions". I thought of it while my dear wife and I were driving to Washington and she became tired of my questions that seemingly had no answers.
The objective of this is to ask questions, leave random comments and possibly entertain. I also have trouble sleeping sometimes and this will be a great way to pass the time, and I set a goal to write something for 20 minutes every week. The way I see it you have 2 options, either tap in and become part of the mass of information that is our society or check out of society and live as if the information super highway does not exist.
Spelling, grammer and punctuation are optional, as the only rules to my blog is there are no right or wrong answers.
So enjoy the Questions blog
