MST3000



My brother Andrew sent me a link to a bunch of old MST3000 episodes on YouTube. Remember Mystery Science Theater 3000? Such a great show...A guy and two robots sit in a theater watching old sci-fi flicks, making sarcastic comments about what's going on. I think Andrew and I gravitated towards the show because, well, it was a show about what we did (d0) in real life.

Here they are.

He Also Knows I Can Fly



I had this exchange with Zachary yesterday:


Me: Zach, are you excited about Pop coming tomorrow? Are you going to take him to the pool and show him how you can swim? He doesn't know that you know how to swim, you know...


Zach: Mom, he knows IN HIS IMAGINATION that I can swim.

A Homeless Man Walks Into A Bar....




I might consider giving money to a homeless person if they'd entertain me. Most homeless people just sit there with a sign and a morose look on their face. That does nothing for me. That actually makes it even easier for me to just walk on by.

But if there was a homeless person doing a little soft shoe, or playing the spoons, or doing a bit of stand-up, I'd have a harder time just walking by. I might even stop and watch. I'd probably chuckle a bit. And I just might reach into my pocket and grab some change.

So homeless people, take note. To make more money, why not actually DO something? I know you've all got hidden talents, be inventive and use them in your panhandling!

Don't Be Tardy For The Party!




The Real Housewives Of Atlanta are back. You know you love 'em...Nene...Sheree...Kim. Those nutbags are always good for a huge laugh. (They could totally hold their own in an insult match with Henry Louis Gates, Jr, too.)

In case you missed the season 2 premiere, here it is.

You Had To Ask



My mom and I drove to West Chester last night to pick up Colson. While we were there, we had dinner with my niece Brooke, who happened to be in town on her way back to Manassas, and my brother Eric.

It was fairly late for the kids, and they were all starting to get a bit tired. Towards the end of dinner, Zachary asked me if we could go home. Brooke looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do when you get home?"

Zach looked up at her, rolled his eyes and said, "NOT see any of you!"
