  2. Nom, nom.

    I recently realized the worst thing about the new word-verifications. It's almost impossible to play the word-verification definition game! Then I cried. But I will give it a try.

  8. Thank you, Oona. We had a wonderful 41st anniversary. While walking our two wonderful dogs we were called "a$$holes" by a stranger in the park, who on our second encounter told us to go "F" ourselves -- in full version. Who could ask for more?

    Your phone message was more. Ruggies punch line to you rendition of happy anniversary was the piece de resistance!

    We are now having a sleep over with two insane kalkatroonan grandsons, a self inflicted wound, which we self inflicted with the now obviously mistaken goal of giving the kalkatroonan brother and daugher-in-law a break with their angel of a new girl sibling.

    Pray for us.

    :)

    XOXOXOXOX
    The unwitting grandparents

  10. Okay, we are celebrating in the flyover, celebrating that the Kalkatroonas got together and gave us Oona,
    Also, it's the beginning of the weekend !

    We whip an egg white in a blender
    beat in 3tsp. sugar
    1/4 cup gin
    a bit less than 1/4 cup Pernod
    1/2 lemon juiced
    a bunch of ice cubes made from green tea.

    mmmm, but my top-stiching might get a bit wonky now.

    P.S. I thought all week about what the artist formerly known as Prince might be doing stuck to a sign in L.A. and not in his hometown MPLS and have no clever response. Maybe I need one of Ruggy's mixtures.
