My grandfather's family had a habit of naming the boys after a city near where they were born- Uncle Reno is the main one I can remember. When my grandpa was born, they lived in a logging camp up by Weed. He was officially Guido, but everyone called him Weed and when he was 18 he legally changed it.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Our wings are not tired.
At least this Monday morning is better for us than for the white supremacist crowd. Seriously, I find it somewhat encouraging that at least they might be starting to be ashamed/afraid to show their faces in public.

I feel certain that there is something calling itself Pelvic Thunder out there. I'm not going to google it, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Congrats to the whole teacup household!

It's a pay cut but job title raise. And instead of an hour and a half commute he'll be 10 minutes away.

Getting back two and a half hours a day is fantastic.
