I'll take the sharks.

Hmmmmmm.......

dressing as a seal and swimming along chum off the coast of South Africa?

trepanning myself with a rusty screwdriver?

flying with a teething 7 month old on an almost 6 hour flight?

Uhhhhh...yeah. Don't ever want to do those things. And if I have done them, I never want to do them again.

Just got back from Virginia visiting Bing's family...we had a great time and it was awesome showing Miss Caroline off. She was really cute of course, until the flight home, but quickly recovered her cuteness once we landed. It was good to get home...the doggies and Jones were very happy to see us.

These are things I have learned lately:

1. Human beatboxing and fake sneezing will only delay full blown tantrums in infants but will provide some auditory respite.

2. People on airplanes will not and do not understand why human beatboxing must be done.

3. Liberace is really awesome. He reminds me of Uncle Leonard. And if you were to make a cross of Fred Sanford and SAmmy Davis Jr and turn it into a white woman, it would have been my grandmother, GranEd.

4. Summer is far too short. I love my students but I wish somebody would decide to pay me to alternately stare at the birdfeeder and hang out at the lake. Now that's a career.

5. It is entirely possible to subsist on Mr. Chuck's barbeque for the rest of your life. To be so lucky.

6. Although, a pontoon boat would have been fun, a brand new speed boat would be even funner.

Welcome "Sweet Caroline" to the family.....y'all come boating with us!!!

Uh, yeah. That's a 2009, folks. Pissssshhhhhhh ( that's the sounds of your sizzling finger uponst touching our new boat).

Those were the things I learned the past few days.
