For your consideration, here is episode nineteen of "It's a Ponderous Life", the place where I offer you the weekly rantings of a middle aged man trying to come to grips with life, where the wife and kids all have their own lives that don't require me, and I get fist shakingly annoyed at the world.

Today I explain away the fact that there has been a significant delay between episodes due to the build up of illnesses I have suffered from in recent times, which may or may not be believed.

Then I discuss Fathers Day in my world, and how the appreciation of the day changes as the kids get older, and my own father does the same but without dying on me.

Finally, I give a quick discussion of two shows I watched during my fever ridden week off work, and whether they are worthy of your attention.

So please join me in my quest to get a few things off my chest, in another episodic enlightenment of "It's a Ponderous Life", right here on Thoughts from the Metal Cavern.
