The week in weird update

Posted Friday, May 25, 2007 9:41 AM by BJ not BK
Another week gone, and another series of posts handed over in triplicate to the folks at iron mountain to be hauled via armored car to the hillside bunker for safe keeping. 

Here are some updates for those of you who are keeping score.

1.  Fluffy and Fleur were spotted leaving their homes today for the first time since last week when I issued the 1000 comment challenge.  Relatives report that both are doing fine other than looking a little "pasty" from lack of sunshine and nutrition (love you guys!).

2.  It is official - SCHAEFFER will be the spelling for my son who is en route.  We decided that using SCQUHAEFFURE, with a silent Q of course, was just way too complicated.

3.  Long weekend ahead of us right?  Who has plans?  The pool opens up in Mother Napalm's hood so you know where me and the family will be.  Anybody out there enjoy peeling sun burnt skin?  I plan on getting third degree burns this weekend.

4.  Speaking of son en route... we are at 36 weeks so go time could be anytime.  I use the royal "we" because I am a sensitive, caring man.  I fully realize that only she is pregnant.

5.  Gas at $17.00 per gallon.  I think I have been the victim of price gouging but not sure.  Does this sound reasonable to you?

6.  Did I mention that we have a long weekend coming up?

7.  If you like great photography be sure to visit Steve [link] and Joe Thorn's [link] Friday photos spot.

8.  Have a great weekend and don't forget to hug a Veteran if you see one.

1 - with a name like Fluffy it comes natural...everyone wants Fluffy.  Recent studies have shown that whenever I use Fluffy in a post readership increases by 43%.  I need more cowbell.

4- No pool but we could start one?  Child number 2

A baby pool is an excellent idea---Start one up!

1000 comment post was fun in a very wierd way! I met some new friends along the way, too! bechoo and yoyo and the kids from jt400 were a blast. Fluffers was always good for a laugh, too.

Why do I feel like I've intruded on a private conversation here?  

That being said - tomorrow morning, after my son finishes the last training session for the newest Knights of the Altar - we are heading out to join up with other Boy Scouts to place flags on the 6,500 graves at the SE Wisconsin Veteran's Cemetery.   Monday, we will walk down the block and across the street to join in the service in the veterans' section of the historic cemetery by our house (Union Soldiers to current day buried there).  Or, maybe we'll head down to the Navy Memorial to listen to them ring the bell and lay a wreath upon the water in the harbor.

Scoutmom, that is incredible.  I know that Joe has already requested to be adopted but if you have additional room can you squeeze me in too?  Your family is so cool.

I always say "The more the merrier".  Just keep in mind that there are 8 kids between 2 marriages - and only one bathroom!

Scoutmom -- Congratulations to your son - and that does sound like a great thing to do, with the flags - My husband is a vet - we are going to our local small city to place a wreathe on a monument.....

Other than that, farming the fields and planting the garden this weekend -

The 1000 comment thing was great - fleur, fluffy cow, and beechoo were alot of fun....

Let us know if the baby decides memorial day is a great day to arrive in this world - and I like the first spelling best

have fun this weekend everyone
