Oh... the idle wooden mind

Disclaimer: Do to the absence of my wife the below post may be riddled with bad grammar and incomplete sentences and overall confusion.

It's been awhile and oh do i have a story to tell. I've been a little self absorbed lately. The prettiest thing I've ever seen and my three offspring have left town. That within it's self is something to write about...you know that verse in the Bible where it talks about man not being meant to be alone, well this is the man he was talking about, well actually it was Adam but aren't we supposed to liken the scriptures to our lives? I can hardly find my pants let alone get them to the laundry basket...then do laundry...(shudder). That is also another story to be told some other time. This blog is about pan...not me but i have to tell this part for you to understand the other. Also, at this same time I had a very important test at work that would pretty much determine my fate, once again another story for another time. And again i also had a very big training to prepare, over something i new very little about...again... i think that you get the picture. So Ive been a little self absorbed. Once it was all over with I realized that i hadn't posted anything so I looked for Pan. Well...if you remember a couple of blogs back i told you to never leave a little-wood-man alone in a car for hours. So I guess i don't need to tell you to never leave a little-wood-man to his own devices for a week and a half. He picked up a few unsavory friends and I caught trying to hitchhike with a penguin...I know i was thinking the same thing...what does a penguin know about hitchhiking.














So figured that i needed to spend some quality time Pan. You get more with flies with honey than with vinegar. So Pan and have been spending more of the above mentioned time together. I think it's going well. He seems to enjoy the Baseball game we went to. Although he got a little chilly and eventually fell asleep. It's a learning process. It think we're getting through the storming phase pretty well. We've had some other adventure but those will be a later post.

Going Green

So, the ever reaching arm of the "going green-ites" has finally made its way to a virtually unknown demographic...little-wood-men. In particular, Pan. Although I'm not fully sold on the pathological rantings of the former Vice President, who's research is based on shaky evidence by scandalous scientists, not to mention the earth has gone through natural warming and cooling periods since its creation, but then I was reminded of the fact my opinion was based on the research of a man who argues with the environmental views of a little-wood-man. I do agree with Pan as to being good stewards of our planet. I conceded to this point but in the same breath made it known there would be no tofu, incense, or tambourine playing-not that I have anything against tambourines but if any of you have been to my most humble home you will agree with me on the joy of the absence of tambourine. So if there is anybody out there who plays the tambourine...I think it is a noble instrument with a long and glorious history...there.. so I mean no offense.








After a long day of being green..because it's not easy (about five minutes, you got to start small:) when you're a little-wood-man) Pan takes a rest in the soft grass, communing with nature. Exploring commenced afterward followed by practicing his climbing and repelling skills (because you need skills...you know...skills) which will come in handy the next time he has to scale the side of a 55 gallon drum.

























All fun and no play a dull boy Pan would be.
