In Memory of Buddy

My brother Jerry and his dog Buddy.

I have mentioned before that my family (on both sides) is fond of animals. We will all miss my brother's dog Buddy. Hugs, to little Bro' and Mo.

Merry Christmas!

John, Bob and I met for dinner Christmas Eve at my cousin's house in Plymouth. Chef Paul cooked a wonderful dinner, and even though it's been a very stressful year, we all enjoyed each other's company.

I hope you all have a peaceful day. Stay warm and happy. See you in January after my work project is completed.

The Kaiser Shoes

I just want to take a quick break from work to sneak in here and say that I finally found a use for my gargantuan Kaiser prescription shoes.

I want to throw them at George Bush.

I think it’s pretty awful that foreigners get to do this and we don’t. I demand equal rights.

Forget public opinion polls. Throw your shoes. Stinky ones, if you have them.

I don’t think the Iraqi shoe-tosser should go to jail. Maybe he has inspired potential terrorists to think about their methods. Killing people does not get your point across, it just makes everyone else mad at you. I’d donate to a fund to free the shoe-tosser.

Back to work.

Keeping up with Brangelina

While Brad and Angelina are out rescuing and adopting kids from here and there, I got an announcement today that new members have been adopted into our own family.

“Mark and Nancy D are pleased to announce the adoption of Dakota and Jackson, born approximately 13 weeks ago, to parents of unknown heritage.

“Dakota weighs in at 19 lbs., 8 oz, and Jackson weighs 14 lbs, 2 oz.  Friends and family are welcome to visit. Please call first to make sure the babies aren’t sleeping.”

Here’s Mark with the babies.


I know I’ve said before that most people on both sides of my family are very fond of animals. So, welcome to the family Dakota and Jackson.
