thought of the day 2009 08 12 - kids

Have you ever noticed how little kids get really really excited by really simple things like toys. When my kid was younger, he was really, really into trains. Like Thomas the Tank Engine. And when he got some new train, he would get so excited he would shake. it's crazy but really, really neat. I mean, hell, at this point the only thing that gets me that excited is sex or maybe 21 year old single malt scotch. Which I suppose is somehow appropriate since scotch is about the only thing that could get a 21 year old to sleep with me, and there would probably be a few seconds of shaking like an epileptic seizure filled with long periods of fiddling with small things.
