Emmett's baseball practice was cancelled because of rain.

But I was watching a Fritz Lang movie I'd TiVoed (The Testament of Dr. Mabuse) and a thug whipped out his sap! I'd always wanted to see a real sap or blackjack and it was amazing to see how small it was, bouncing on its spring handle. Hard to believe such a little thing could do so much damage. (A little 5" sap can knock a man out and break bones readily.)

Eve has now been taught to say "Dude!"

Next: "sweet!" or possibly "where's my car?"

Awww...cute!

Teach her "tubular."

When my nephew was starting to talk, my brother taught him "perpendicular." His inflection was so musical, it was the cutest thing.

My sisters had so much fun teaching each others children to say stuff. Passing the youngins over for babysitting almost always resulted in learning new sayings Mom didn't want to hear. Not nasty, just fun stupid stuff.

My oh my, what a basketball game. Alas, Cincinnati forgot how to get the ball through the net in the end. Every single time the ball hit the rim there was an all out battle for the rebound. I think I got bruises just watching.

Man, I'm doing so badly today. C'mon Wake Forest, work with me here.

Just came in from seeing Wilby Wonderful which lived up to its billing.
