Meatlogs, Bacon Weaves and Other Ways to Die Early

In my heart of hearts, happiness would be fueling the body with a diet of delicious, life-shortening crap. McGriddles for breakfast, corn dogs for brunch, Hamburgers for lunch, Pizza for dinner and ice cream/cookies for dessert.
Every day.
For the rest of my life. Which would, after the first year, probably be a short one.
In the mean …

Where The Wild Things Are

I know I’ve already pontificated once today, but I couldn’t NOT post this.
If you read Where The Wild Things Are as a kid, you’ll understand why I say it’s a childhood touchstone – the kind that morphs into a generational pass-along. Whether it was the dark and charming Caldecott winning illustrations, the realization of childhood …

Emergency! Emergency!

It’s not like I haven’t wanted to post the last few weeks, it’s more like I’ve been depressed, disillusioned and hunkering down for the seemingly inevitable apocalypse A, apocalypse B, apocalypse C, apocalypse D, apocalypse E, apocalypse F, apocalypse G or all of the above.

Could it be the fact that everyday we hear how the world is going down the poop chute? Or is it that everyone (OK not “everyone” but a lot) thought Obama could and would …

Warm Weather’s Sweet Bosom: Day 3.5

This post was all ready for an on-time departure the morning of day 4, but a crashing Photoshop Elements (nyah!) kicked that flight right in the underpants. The post is now a week old, but that makes it vintage. Cherish:
Yesterday was the day we visited the land that some guy going by “Disney” built. It’s …

Warm Weather’s Sweet Bosom: Day 2.5

Not a single picture was taken today. Not one.
We did, however, go down a waterslide, block the sun with some kind of special lotion, reintroduce Little Dude to putting his whole head underwater, buy clothes for Baby Sis and make a local Red Robin whip up a cherry chocolate shake.
Other notable events include hearing Pebbles’ …
