Coping by Spending

While my wife Suzy was alive, I never had a "mid-life crisis." I was also cheap. Very cheap.

Since she died, however, I have been spending money like a teenager on an expense account. I suppose I am trying to fill in the gaping void she has left, but still! I should be more grown up than this. In a little over two months, I have bought:

A 60 gig iPod

Songs and videos for the iPod

1000 thread count sateen bed sheets

An HDTV off-air tuner

A Harley Fucking Davidson motorcycle

A USMC regulation "high and tight" haircut (okay, that one was only seven bucks)

Oh yeah, and my Mom died last week. Prior blog language restrictions are obviously rescinded.
