We've been doing most of the same stuff lately, except for Willie who joined the track team at school. It means he has to stay after school for two hours every day running and stretching and running some more. He somehow managed to get himself on the distance running squad, though the longest distance he's ever run is from his bedroom to the breakfast bar when the turkey bacon was ready. Now, he's running about two miles a day, and not even complaining about it. We'll see how he feels when he has a mountain of homework to do and doesn't get home til 6. Late nights, here we come.

Teddy has had some pre bar mitzvah minyans where he has had to think about the nature of G-d and wrap tefillin (hebrew for torture device) and put on a tallis.

Papa was so excited last night because Teddy is nearing the end of a sinus infection, and while papa was administering the Neti pot, Teddy blew out the biggest, longest, thickest, grossest tube o' goo from his nose that papa's ever seen. He wanted to take a movie of the neti session this morning, but Teddy put his foot down and said absolutely not. You can thank Teddy personally.

 Welcome to the game. Now submit all your money and weapons and you may begin.
 No one said that going thru the land of exploding wigs of death was easy. Willie rolled a 32 and a quarter which means he has been blown to smithereens.
 Smithereens I say.
Egad, now I don't have anybody to play with. Undo that last turn.
This is a map of the landscape of a new game we're working on based on Dungeon's and Dragons. Basically you run around the map and do all of the situations that we've thrown at you and if you survive you add more futures to the game and play again. The only rule is to act like a fool and pretend all the cards are the same (quote from Polka Bats and Octopus Slacks). Click the map to see the hilarious details like the eye of Sowron and Land of the Spider Pigs.

 Hamburger night and somebody is taking pictures of us eating again. Grrrrrr.
Double grrrrr. Leave me in peace so I can digest this cow.

 Pancake saturday, and look who's learning to make batter. I say is assault and batter-y.
Waffle time! Can I have more turkey bacon because I let you take a picture of me with a waffle?
Egad, they've got me wrapped up in leather straps. Luckily I don't have to do this for real for another 14 months. Plenty of time learn, but whoever had these before me had a huge head--this thing keeps dropping down over my face. Make it stop.
