6 Of One, 1/24th Gross Of The Other
NukeMom took the day off so we could spend some much deserved time together. The last time we had this much time alone together was when Clinton was in office. So what did we do to commemorate the day? Get your minds out of the gutter...that happened later; no, what we did was: we performed our civic duty and early →
Maybe We Should Have Named Them Mickey & Mallory
Buddy and Penny (The NukeBeagles) have killed 2 squirrels in the past 5 days. I don't mean like they sauntered up on an old grey drawing his last breath, I mean tracking in tandem and killing. Just like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. "Clever girl", indeed. I'm not sure where the blood lust is coming from. OK. that's not true; →
Look What I Went And Started
After posting a Happy Birthday wish to my sister Leta, I figured that I'd better do the same for the rest of my siblings lest I be left without a phone call on my birthday. With that in mind, I can hear sister Stacey saying; "Why didn't you think of this back in August when it was my birthday? Why? →
Dead Leaf Fallin’
When a death row inmate is marched to the chamber on judgement day the guards announce; "Dead Man Walkin'!" to the rest of the inmates. As if the words are going to deter them from committing any more crimes. I think the point is moot, but it makes the guards happy. Most of the criminals deserve the final taunting anyway, →
NukeDad The Plumber
I've been watching the meteoric rise (and inquisition) of "Joe The Plumber" play out on TV. Poor guy. I bet he wishes that Obama had never shown up in his neighborhood. MSNBC now has a satellite truck parked outside of his house. If he flushes his toilet, the boys at Daily Kos will be sending out an email blast registering →
The Punching Bag In Roger Daltrey’s Throat
As I mentioned before, I've been able to help steer the NukeKids away from formulaic pop into the realm of Classic Rock. I knew I was successful when NukeGirl sang the entire first verse to Paranoid by Black Sabbath on the way to school one day. Yeah, I know; not the cheeriest of songs, but she can do the "Bang Your Head" →
Happy Birthday, Leta
Some of my fondest childhood memories revolve around my oldest sister Leta. I've mentioned before that I learned a lot about music from her; some of it from her saying; "Listen to this" and some of it from having to tolerate "If" by Bread for the 100,000th time from the next bedroom. My Mom would agree. I forgive her for that; →
Why Not Sweats And A BabyDoll Tee?
I'm not a fashion Mogul. Never even played one on TV. If I offend your sensibilities with this post; I apologize, but something tells me there's nary a chance of that. Pierre Cardin has made millions through the years as a fashion designer. I'm sure I've seen his work many times on television and in the movies. I'm reasonably sure →
Maybe We’ll All Get A Free Toaster
I guess this is what they call writer's block. Haven't had a whole lot to smile about or find funny this last week or so. Nukegirl turned 5 on Thursday and that was a good day, but I still have issues with being told that the world is going to end if we don't surrender a BILLION dollars to the →
