Henry Roy (Vol. 6)

8.  The force is strong with this one.

This would be Henry's costume for Halloween.  He would be Yoda.  And yes, that is from Star Wars.  This is how it works.....  I like Star Wars = Henry likes Star Wars.  He will thank me for this later in life.

I know.  This is a tad late to post a Halloween entry.  Sue me.  In the last few weeks...I have entered my 30s and my wife and I have celebrated our 4th anniversary. We also spent a week in the Dakotas, ya know.  I got excuses.  Want another one?  I have a 7 month old! Care for another one?  I'm tired.  Doesn't that sound like every other facebook status update???

During the upcoming holiday season, I plan to update the blog more often.  At least, that is the goal.  The last several entries had been more pictures than writing.

Just remembered this.  We had our annual pumpkin carving party at the house this year.  And guess what I carved for my pumpkin?  Yoda!!!

Vehicles.

1.  They do not work properly when a person is not driving them.
Sorry, it has been awhile.  Busy...busy...busy.  Blah-blah-blah.  I know.  Everyone is busy.  Just man up, Martin...and entertain your 3 readers on a more regular basis!!!  Ok.  I will.  STORY TIME!!!!

So, this morning started out like any other morning...except that this is my first morning of my 30s.  I know.  I do look quite young.  Back to the story.  Got ready and dressed for work.  Loaded H-Dogg into the car and started the drive over to daycare.  This is usually the time where I introduce the latest and greatest in music to Henry.  Today, it was The Budos Band.  Look them up.  They rock.

Driving down this road, I come up to a red light.  My car is second from the front.  What I see next totally catches me off guard.  On the road that crosses the street I am on....a regular looking Ford or Chevy pickup truck drives by extremely, excruciatingly slow.  Not only is it driving slow....but the hood of the truck in up.  I thought, that was odd.  Then, our light turns green.  So, I put that thought on the back burner.  However, the delivery truck in front of me is not going.  I think...."Go, man.  It's green!"  But obviously he sees something I didn't.  A few seconds later...I see it.  A middle aged hispanic woman is sprinting behind the slow moving pickup truck.  As the woman clears the intersection, the delivery truck starts driving and I follow.  As I am driving through the intersection a question pops in my head.  "How can you drive a truck when the hood is in the upright position?!?!?!!?"

Immediately, I look to the right to see the truck with its hood up hop the curb and .... SLAM INTO A TREE.  Martin, I don't get it?  Why did that person drive the car into a tree?  I will tell you why.  It is because there was NO ONE in that truck.  The woman that was chasing the truck "was" the driver!!!  But don't worry, she stopped running.  I guess she realized the truck wasn't going anywhere now.  Ridiculous.

P.S.  Here was the original lesson this post was going to start with: 1. Women can't drive.  Even though the statement is true...my story doesn't support that.  Maybe it should of been: 1. Women can't outrun slow moving trucks.
