Ok, ok, I know most of you that didn't think I had lost my mind before are sure now with the move to Stillwater and the "new do". Yes, I am progressing well through mid-life change/crisis, what an interesting adventure. This had been kinda fun though, I like my haircut, am really excited about the move (sign in the yard this week) yes!.
What else, been crying a lot lately, not sure about what this is other than the "portal" to my past has opened up by the writing of my book, places I forgot, did not want to remember or that are very painful. Most of the tears have been related to what I have been (or not) for Delinda/Mom. Very hard you know. I know many of you are aware this really wasn't the "perfect marriage" you saw on the outside, we were pretty good actors though. I missed so much, did so little ( hint, hint Matt Simpson if you are reading this) with Delinda. But I do have today and beyond, yes "to infinity and beyond" to make amends through my actions. Is this getting a little too real or personal for you? "Running With Scissors" I recommend. Life and marriage are damn hard, but trust me from a lot of mistakes and pain (mostly that I caused) it really is worth it to stay true to the one you really love, in my case Delinda/Mom, I love her more each day now. Lots of work left to do in life though.
What else?
I have listened to no new music since my addiction to MMJ has taken over. Actually I am listening to a great album from the psychedelic 60's by QuickSilver Messenger Service called "Happy Trails" right now on the hphones.
Movies. Now my review form for all media will be our grading A-F that we will know so well.
"Running with Scissors"- B
"Stranger that Fiction" B
"Babel"- A
"The Departed"-A-
Sooner than you know it you will never have to come to Tulsa to visit us again or Catoosa. I am also writing this on MY "new" laptop which is really Mom's old one with a major tune up. We both still freeze up when trying to do things on these machines that we do not understand. Like I am scared to death to now use Sharepod that I have downloaded to hopefully take my 5000 songs from my Ipod back to this computer, have to call one of the kids to walk me though this.
So Emily, Heidi and Teresa, I cannot hold my breath much longer to get your top five CD's on a desert island. When I said all of you I meant all of you, even got Melissa's so get with it today! And Simpson, I can't wait to see yours.
Out,
Dad/Rick

Alright...I was a little late with my 5 albums but they've been submitted. I just hope that island has electricity and a sweet sound system...and maybe a kegorator! I'll be taking your words of wisdom about marriage to heart. I will do my best.
Simpy the Older.
I hear the "new do" looks damn good--that's what the Old Man said.
As for the "mid-life crisis," I sometimes think I'm already having one. Or maybe there are a series of them...I mean, "mid" can technically mean anytime between early and late (young/old, whatever)! Let's hope that's not the case, though.
You've got today and beyond, and I am sure she knows that as well.
Okay so, "Running with Scissors" was my favourite movie of '06. Seriously hilarious, though not for everyone--I guffawed REALLY loud a number of times where the rest of the crowd was silent. It helps being a therapy-kid.
We're definitely a lot alike, Uncle Rickittude.
Come on! The Departed only gets an A-?!
COME ON!!! The departed should be deported, running with scissors needs an A+++, babel was just that,and can you TELL why marriage can sometimes be so hard when opposites attract?!!!! My old man has hung in there with a psyco for 36 years...he gets a AAA+++ and can "hold my big toe till I die".
No doubt departed get at a minimum an A. Didnt the guy that wrote running with scissors actually run with a scissor.....For another discussion.
