Happy Fathers Day, Dad

dad

My dad is a great guy. He works too much and plays hard. I’m glad that I “take after” him, except for the work too much part. I should back off a little from those long hours and make more time for family and friends.

Letterman vs Palin

Good grief. This Letterman joke and Palin overreacting is getting ridiculous. The Chicago Tribune site calls out for Letterman to offer a formal apology. His aired apology pretty much covered it. The joke was a joke. Palin needs to get over it. Her remarks to Matt Lauer this morning were out of line and typical of a redneck getting all het up over nothing.

I’m SOOOO glad that she is not our Vice President. I hate to think that this white trash hussy could have been one heartbeat away from actually being President and shaming us all. I’m not even a political activist. But my goodness, don’t you agree that this woman and her trashy family are a train wreck?

Did They Laugh?

Is it a joke if no one laughs? If the joke is on you and everyone laughs, is it on the person telling the joke? Or is it on you for giving the joke substance?

Baby Blog

One of my girlfriends is expecting a baby in August and I want to buy her some baby gifts. It is getting harder and harder to find unique baby gifts that will be useful and appreciated. But I am still searching.

Jenny started writing a blog and although it is not a day by day accounting of her pregnancy, it is a nice journal that she will be able to look back on and read, years down the road. I think that is really cool. I hope she keeps writing and adds some pictures of the baby after she is born. I think you can even export everything you’ve written and print it out as a scrapbook or diary. That would be unique!

Bakugan Novice

The kids are all talking about a new game and cartoon series called Bakugan. I don’t know much about it, but the cartoons are the Japanese anime style cartoon and seem to be entertaining with an ongoing storyline of “right is might.” What I like is that the heroes include some girl characters, although they have an annoying way of crying a lot.
