I Flunked Tech School

Or, more to the point, my lack of physique flunked me. No matter how well I do on the classwork or how diligently I try, I just don't have what it takes to be a mechanic, and at my age I can't exactly grow ten kilos of muscle, can I?

I'm grateful for the experience and the opportunity but I'm very disappointed that I couldn't capitalize on it in full.

Meanwhile, I should look for something else to do while the economy recovers. Something tells me I won't be looking long.

Wallowing In Pop Culture

I just realized that the reason I never warmed up to Family Guy or King of the Hill is that I remembered another series, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, from long, long ago, which had similar themes and approaches.

I'd forgotten the actual title of that series until tonight, when I saw it on a list at Wikipedia and looked it up.

I have no illusions that WTYFGH was any better or worse than its modern parallel shows. Just one of those random memories that I have to dredge up from the depths, throw out of my system, and walk away from once it's out.
