Lighten up, already!

I realize I've been kind of downer here on the blog.  Following the economic news these days can do that to a girl. 

But today, I stumbled upon...Wave at the Bus!  What fun.  Bill and I looooove to embarrass the kids, and we do it early and often.  So you have to love this guy, who went out to wave to his fifteen-year-old on the bus on the first day of school.  When the son hated it, Dale knew he had to continue.  This is the result.

They sound like a great family who know how to have fun together!  And based on the response to their blog, it sounds like there are a lot of normal, happy families out there doing their best to raise their children with an intact sense of humor.

Have a wonderful Saturday.  Now, go out and embarrass those kids!

I got one!

Do you remember this ad:

I got one!!  Yes, I'm now the proud owner of a part of history, "commemorating the day the world changed forever."  (I'm not sure if that is threatening or merely creepy.)  Thanks, Steve!  I'm displaying it in a prominent place for as long as I can stomach it.  And when I find my **)#$% camera, then I'll share with the rest of the world.

And now for something completely different...

Somehow, someway, DS8 has gotten obsessed with Monty Python.  (Maybe it's in the genes?)  Anyway, maybe this will keep him satisfied...
