Perkins, flight is booked!

When I was 3, my dad became the commander of his American Legion post. They required him to shave off his beard for the position. When he did, my twin sister and I cried in terror at his shorn face.

AWESOME!

Heh. My friend, who I stayed with in St. Thomas last year, just e-mailed me to complain about the weather. It's been getting down to 68 degrees at night! I e-mailed her back and said that we're UP to 9 degrees, with a windchill of -8. We'll see what she says to that!

There will be pictures.

When he did, my twin sister and I cried in terror at his shorn face.

The only other time I've seen him without the beard, he shaved it after I'd gone to bed. When he came into the bedroom I didn't recognize him and screamed. Fortunately, that time we were leaving for a 2 week hike in Yosemite, so he was able to grow it back right away.

See, this is perfect timing for a picture of baby-bump Sparky and nekkid-face Mr. Sparky.

Rassefrassen internet ate my post!

OMG, that kitteh vid is tooo cute. I'm still laughing.

I feed my cats dry food. For a treat, I occasionally give them canned. As for the dry food, I tried on of the "healthy weight" ones, because my cats are pretty sedentary. They ate more of it at one sitting to get the fat and calories they actually needed and if the bowl was empty would get into the cupboard where I kept the bag and gnaw the bag open until they could get more.

Dallas has been on Pedigree dry from the start. Each year the vet and I have the following discussion:

Vet: What do you feed her?
Me: Pedigree. Should I change it?
Vet: No, she looks great.

I'm lucky. Other than a couple of bumps removed (all of which were fine) she's always been very healthy.

Our kittens are on Science Diet and our adult cat is on Wellness. We had the kittens on Wellness kitten food but it was too rich for one of their stomachs. Vet recommended the Science Diet, but we are still a little wary of it after that whole pet food recall debacle. Wellness was a brand not affected by the recall, which is why we switched to it.

Today is feeling suspiciously like a Monday. I stopped at Starbucks but the line was redonkulous so I got back in my car and headed into the office. Now that I'm here, I filled my coffee cup but discovered the coffee is left over from yesterday. Gronk.

Hey, Wall Street! Shut the fuck up!

I may run for president myself on that platform: Vote Miracleman in 2016! Get a job punching Wall Street whiners in the junk!

You got my vote.
