  • New house rule – If you eat the last of the vanilla ice cream and your lovely wife is planning on buying an apple pie for a cookout that weekend, it is your responsibility to buy more vanilla ice cream.
  • When discussing the anti-drug push by the Filipino government, Irish Woman commented that it’s not the act of pushing a drug smuggler out of a helicopter that kills them, it’s the sudden stop afterward.
    • Is it any wonder that I fall deeper in love with this woman every day?
  • It is amazing how much fun three boys can have with a $20 swimming pool and some cheap water guns.
  • Personal grooming tip – A quick, but not painless, way to remove extraneous knuckle hair is to use too much charcoal in the grill and misplace your long set of tongs.

    Personal grooming hair removal. Not just the pain, also the awful smell and the spouse’s snarky comment, “Got a little close to the fire did we?”

    On a related note. After extended prompting, (not nagging) I tried one of the those electric nose and ear hair removal tools. The ear part was uneventful, the nose part was more interesting. Perhaps my body has an oversensitive tickle response but when I tried the tool in my nostrils I reacted much in the same way as I would have if I foolishly tested a small cattle prod by sticking it in my nose and turning it on. Oh yes, tears and everything. When I told my wife the story she kept a straight face for a length of time that was so short that no instrument could have measured it and then cracked up. Sigh.
