Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life
My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.

Among the many FAQ's out there on the internet is the Land Rover Not-So-FAQ, a list of questions and answers that the average newbie might not think to ask. I was browsing this list recently and came across a question which seemed appropos to me in particular:
Which is better, a Land Rover sII 109", a case of good beer, or a loving, caring, beautiful, intelligent wife?
Actually, IF you sell your soul, you can have all three (like me ;^) ), although you want to make sure you get a loving, caring, beautiful, intelligent wife THAT WON'T drink the beer. [JH]
Funny thing is, I don't remember selling my soul...

Avacor -- The Ultimate Excitement
I heard an ad on the radio this morning for Avacor, a hair loss remedy. There was a testimonial from a 39-year-old man who had been losing his hair for ten years. Avacor was restoring his hair and he "couldn't be more excited". (Yes, that's an actual quote.)
That actually made me pause. I wondered about how regrowing hair could be the most exciting thing possible for this guy. He "couldn't be more excited" even if he won the lottery? Even if Steven Spielberg wanted to make a movie about his life? Even if the three most beautiful women in the world (in his opinion) wanted to spend a week alone on a tropical island with him? Even if B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Mark Knopfler performed a live concert together just for him?
Maybe I can't understand because I've never experienced the devestation of hair loss -- but I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be something more exciting than regrowing hair... Like, say, broccoli?
