My parents didn’t get to have the kind of fun that my generation is having with all of the new media. Instead of getting newspaper articles in the mail (for our kids to roll their eyes at, then throw away), we can instantly send them well-meaning articles and then pat ourselves on the back for having done our job. Our kids, of course, just delete those posts without reading them, but the important thing is WE TRIED.
It’s fun to see what great senses of humor our kids have – DD#3 sent me this the other day:

Today is my Dad’s 80th birthday. I can’t tell you how very glad I am that he is still here to celebrate with us – so many of our friends don’t have their parents around anymore, and Paul and I are fortunate enough to have both our Moms and our Dads around to share good times with.
Admit it – you always had your suspicions, didn’t you?

Have a great day!

Sandra Fluke’s parents must be so proud.
On Monday, she went before a House Subcommittee to tell everyone that she has sex. Lots and lots of sex. Why, she has so much sex that it costs her $1000/year to pay for birth control.
And gee willikers, she just can’t afford to pay for that, so she thinks that the American taxpayer should pick up the tab.

In honor of Gioachino Rossini’s birthday, I wanted to share this adorable performance of a piece that has been attributed to him, affectionately known as “The Cat Duet”.
While this piece is normally performed by two women (I had more fun singing this, way back when), these two little boys would steal any show!

Have a great “Leap Day”!

So this morning, Paul and I were talking about the upcoming film “Act of Valor” – the one that stars real-life Navy SEALs. The entertainment person on the morning radio show that we listen to gave it great reviews, and it sounds really interesting.
Well, that made me think about a funny comment I saw the other day at one of the blogs that I read. One of the guys was relating the story about how his wife had taken their young son to the museum that day, and some guy had come over and struck up a conversation with her. In the course of the conversation, he mentioned that not only was he a Navy SEAL, but he was actually IN the movie.

It started in a lecture hall at Texas A&M University in January, 1979. Yours truly was a freshman who started out in Pre-Med, but after one semester – and a tearful call home – I had decided to change my major to one which involved more math – Civil Engineering.
Well, the powers that be in the Engineering department told me that the Calculus class that I had placed out of as a Science major wasn’t really “the same as” the one they wanted Engineering majors to take, so I had to start all over again. I hadn’t changed my major until the spring semester started, so I missed the first “official” day of that class.
The next time that class met, I was sitting in a seat in the lecture hall, feeling quite lost since I didn’t know the professor’s name, office hours, etc. Some guy came in a little late to the class, looking all harried, and sat down in one of the few empty seats – right next to me.

Say goodbye to expensive creams, lotions, and pills – Senator John Kerry may have found the elusive “Fountain of Youth”! (And no, it’s not “Rub Heinz Ketchup on your face”…..)Remember this?
