Maybe, just maybe, he will actually run for office when the time comes. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What happened to the band Restless Heart? &nbsp;Those dudes made some killer good music. &nbsp;And then, pfft, they were gone. &nbsp;?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;You never know when life is going to show up and bounce something off of you. &nbsp;Sometimes, you can see the ball coming at you, but you can&#8217;t move quick enough. &nbsp;And then, it bounces off of you. &nbsp;Do you squint? &nbsp;Or do you bounce up and get ready for the next one? &nbsp;I can tell you without a doubt, that on this Thursday evening, that I am going to bounce up on Friday morning and try to sort all of this out. &nbsp;I have a wierd habit of letting some big decisions be decided by the next song. And, it has worked out very well for me. &nbsp;Well, on this Thursday evening, that next song was &#8220;Rockstar&#8221; by Nickleback. &nbsp;I really like that song. &nbsp;It makes me bounce. &nbsp; And I am going to have to find a way to make this deal work as the next song was way good also. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;If you can&#8217;t have a good time and help somebody else while doing it, then don&#8217;t bother. &nbsp;I may seem like I don&#8217;t like something, but if there is a good time to be had, kids to help and well, something bounces, I&#8217;m all in. &nbsp;Unless, it is a check that bounces. &nbsp;Then, I don&#8217;t want any part of it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Now, for the fun part, rewind your thoughts as to what gave you happy thoughts of things that bounce. &nbsp;Dirty. &nbsp;Just plain dirty. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Thursday is becoming my favorite day. &nbsp;The day before was HUMP day. &nbsp;Tomorrow is friday and everything gets better on friday. &nbsp;But, Thursday has things that bounce. &nbsp;Both of my brothers can dribble a basketball better than I, but neither are as good at things that bounce as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
