Clearing Pipes
If weston gags on a bit of food he says, “Oops, I clogged.” I don’t know where it came from but I am going to start calling it the heimlich when I have to unchoke a toilet or sink…creates a good mental image, methinks.
Dude
I was calling all over the world wide web to find out the best way to move all of our stuff from the in-laws’ basement. I filled out a form online that was supposed to compare and find the best deals. Scarred by the obscene amount of obscene junk mail I get, I am always hesitant to give anyone any information. I entered “dude” as my name. A few minutes later, a nice woman called and asked if “Doodie” were available. If I wouldn’t have been so taken off guard, I would have acted offended and, in my best French accent, said something like, “My name is Mr. Doo-day!”
Unicorn Diet
Julia has been drawing horses lately. I asked her what these two were doing and she answered, “This is a picture of two unicorns fighting over a carrot and a sugar cube.” The one on the right is one ferocious unicorn.
Threat Level: Not as low as you might think
I guess the ironic part is that I see this driving through what looked like a tiny town in Oregon…and not once the entire time in New York.
Rise and Shine
I was careful to turn off all alarms the night before, but around 7:00 or so, Conrad and Julia climbed into bed with us. Not a problem…except for Julia’s aversion to bed covers and Conrad’s rapid-fire pacifier sucking. Finally, when I was close to giving up and climbing into Julia’s bed, I thought we should talk about it:
Rich: Julia, is this Conrad’s bed?
Julia: No, he’s too small.
Rich: Is this your bed?
Julia: No, I’m too medium size.
Happy Father’s Day from Weston
Weston actually made this for his grandpa, but I stole it. It’s a dino.
Another one from the things-eating-other-things library
This one is called “Mermaid Eating Clams”.
Spam…but really it’s an excuse to post this photo of Julie…
So, the following was an email I received from Julie, Goddess of the Internet…made me smile.
I have a little less than a million comments in moderation that need to be spammed into outer space, but I can’t get through them all to mark them as spam before my computer says “fatal error. you have exceded the time blah blah” –because there are too damn many of them!!
Should I ignore? do I care?

Disturbing Children’s Drawings
Julia has been drawing a lot lately. This is one of her recent themes: sperm whales eating squid.
