Pics from the trip

Just trying to catch up

Thought I would share some photos from earlier in the year

Morons everywhere!

Over the past several weeks, I've had lots of "wrong number" calls on my phone. It seems that Verizon has stupidly given people a voicemail number which is remarkably similar to mine, and they didn't ask my permission. Most of the callers are nice, occasionally they act as if it's MY fault they can't dile a phone or read a number, but I am getting sick of picking up the phone only to find it's not for me. (I really need Caller ID!)

So, my tolerance for morons is pretty low. Well, OK, my tolerance for morons is usually at rock-bottom, so this is not news.

I'm eating Ellio's again today, and this time I've spelled it correctly. The fact that I goofed the first time proves that even I am occasionally one of the morons! I hate it, but it happens.

Since I have not prepared Ellio's in a while, I read the directions on the box and baked the pizza accordingly. After the directions, written in bold, is the following:

"CAUTION: PRODUCT BECOMES HOT WHEN COOKED"

Wow! Evidently I'm not the only one who thinks there are morons everywhere.

Two Guys from Charlotte?

...I've heard of Two Guys from Italy but this is sort of a stretch for a pizza joint...

Don't Fence Us In

Here are a few snaps of the new and improved back yard!

Happy 50th Birthday Kip!

Happy Birthday!!

Just a little shout out to wish the big guy a "Happy 50th Birthday!"
I looked for a baby pic, but I guess he's getting so old, they didn't have photos back then! ;) j/k So I opted for my personal faves... Dad in all of his prom glory (at Mom's prom!) and him in Paris last September... what a fashionista he is! ;)

Happy Birthday!!

How To Play Football, by Nick Jones
(Unfortunately, I could not post the illustrations, your loss, truly! Punctuation as written by Nick.)

1. First, you put a helmet on.
2. Then, you put shoulder pads on.
3. Next, you put on pants.
4. When, the game starts get ready.
5. If, you'r the running back run as fast as you can. Like me.
6. When your on offense be good. If you are a wide recever catch a lot of balls.
7. When, the quarter-back says hike the out. If he hands it off to the RB try to score a touchdown.
8. Then if you win you are 0 - 1. (well, maybe the other way around, but you get the idea)

Pretty on the Playground ... in Black & White

Nothing like pilfering pics with snagit! Some snaps of the sillies from their spring school shoot...

Baking....with an edge

Not at all bad, except for the batter splatter!

Things That Aren't There Anymore...Or Are They?

I just finished eating a piece of Elio's pizza, which proves that Elio's pizza lives. There are two boxes nestled in the basement freezer among the tubs of homemade cat food. It wasn't actually a whole piece; I think it was 2/3 of a slab, or maybe half.

Last week, the Highest C went on one of his shopping jaunts in the Qpon Kng Mobile. When he came home, he announced to the assembled masses, "You'll have to start auditioning corned beef hashes! Shop-Rite doesn't carry Broadcast anymore!"

This is really bad news! I think we have tried others without much success. So I did what any right-thinking geek would do: I googled "Broadcast Hash" and discovered that Amazon.com lists it, and so do a couple of other sites including one that bills itself as a purveyor of hard to find groceries. Alas, none of them had the stuff in stock. I guess it's not made anymore.

Not long before this, I was having a conversation with someone about grooming cats, and something she said made a neuron or two fire, and led me to google another long-lost product...

Do I dare try to order this and hope it's the same stuff?
