Back...

Sorry for the pause in posting. had to take some time away to power-wash and stain the Lair. And Lagniappe was not much of a help as he used the opportunities to slip away several times and go bother various neighbors, particularly one with a large number of yard cats. Oh--and then there was the broken water pipe that filled the basement with a couple inches of water. That was fun to clean up too.

But it wasn't a total downer. My father came down to help, and we had a good time as we worked on the house, dined out at local establishments, drank lots of beer, and played cards every night after work. It took him a few decades to really get cool, but he's pretty much done it.

And Pop, if you read this, I'm still sorry about dropping that stain on your head, even though it is still kinda funny.


That said, since my last posting, the world learned that Randi Rhodes really fell down and broke her teeth because she was drunk, having reportedly just left a bar after consuming 14 Ketel One Bloody Marys and being rude to the staff, per a source.

Sorry for the long pause. I'll try harder to keep up.
