“Discover What I Did Late One
Night On The Internet While
My Wife Was Sleeping!”
It’s SO Embarrassing I Had To Put A Paper Bag Over My Head…
I peeked over to make sure Gen was asleep.
Zzzzz. Zzzzzz.
Ah – the sound of peaceful sleep. It’s such a nice sound. Gen would
never catch me now.
The only one I had to be careful of was Elliot and I was pretty sure
that a 75 pound lab wasn’t going to say much.
My plan was this…
To log on to ABC.com and watch the latest ‘Lost’ episode.
I mean, am I the only one that wants to know when they are going to
be rescued?
But my plan was foiled when something else happened that threw me
off track…
As I punched up ‘Lost’, I noticed that there was an update for ABC’s
Extreme Home Makeover.
You know – the show where they destroy a ragged home and rebuild it
with a castle that would make Aladdin jealous.
So feeling adventurous and burned out on Lost, I decided to load
Home Makeover instead.
Which was a big mistake! Let me explain…
The episode I loaded was about a Kansas dad that had just returned
from Iraq where his leg had been blown off.
To make matters worse, when this dad arrived home to his 4 lovely
kids, he discovered that his wife was leaving him.
Talk about a tough situation.
Instead of giving up, this bulky ex-marine decided to make-a-go at
providing as best he could for his 4 small kids.
That’s not all. The kicker was this…
His house was falling apart and completely unlivable for someone
trying to get around on 1 leg.
Too many stairs. Not wheel chair accessible. Lots of places to trip
and fall.
Until…
Ty Pennington (AKA hyper Ty) and his ABC crew came in and rebuilt
this family’s home.
Here’s the embarrassing part…
20 minutes into this show, I find myself blubbering like a baby in a
wet diaper.
I mean, picture that.
A 33 year old grown man, bawling in his own home.
Over a show that for all intents and purposes isn’t reality.
I mean have you ever thought about how the families that they build
these castles for will be able to pay the exorbitant property taxes
that you know the city plans on collecting?
That’s the ‘reality’ part that ABC leaves out!
But back to my sappy story…
As it turns out, Gen didn’t wake up and the family was given a nice
new home.
The only two that know about my secret are you and Elliot.
Can we keep it that way?
All the best,
