Forever Young?

The Boy was listening to the radio in the car with Ddoll the other day when he heard an ad for an upcoming Rod Stewart concert at Key Arena. Now he wants me to take him to the show! Say WA? Let me list my issues with this development...

- How did it get to be just me/him and not the the three of us? Mostly our special guy trips are to the recycling center and/or transfer station, not a date.

- We've taken him to quite a few concerts and other live performances over the last couple of years and usually I end up in the lobby with him for big chunks of the show. The Duke Ellington concert and last year's Nutcracker show spring to mind.

- Just in general, taking a 6 year old to a arena rock concert... What could happen?

- $60 and up plus service charge to sit in the noise bleeds of a basketball stadium. If you're watching the concert more on the big video screen than you are looking at the stage, why are you there. I'm a fan of the small venue.

- Rod Stewart? While I don't mind him, as far as aging rockers go, he's not quite the Stones or even AeroSmith. But really, once they start using your songs for Pamper commercials, should you still be touring? (This reminds me of the time when some friends took Ddoll & me to a Jimmy Buffet concert in Irvine. She had no idea Jimmy was so long of tooth until he took the stage and she squawked about it the whole show.)

Snow Day

We've got about 6"-8" of snow here the last couple of days. It closed the schools to make the 4 day weekend a 5'er. We didn't really feel the full magnitude of the day because the boy is a home schooler and I work out of my home office. But I did get to use the bad roads as a excuse for postponing a appointment at the dentist office.





























I saw more snow when I was in Alberta two weeks ago, but that just felt like frozen tundra land. The couple inches here feels more Christmas. ish. y.

Just the 3 of us on our anniversary

We had our date night on Friday so I can't squawk too much, but when it came time for our champagne toast at dinner tonight, I broke out the crystal flutes we had at our wedding and a glass cup we bought jelly in. The boy has been asking for a taste of wine lately, so he bellied up for a slug of the good stuff. He thought it was a little spicy though.

I guess since he was born 9 months and 13 days after our wedding, he was there in a way.

Happy 7th, Demon Doll!!!

P.S. KIT

What's in a name?

Tickle, tickle, ha-ha... Well, now we know what happens when one lets his 6-year old choose the title for a web log.*sigh* Of course, for those who know me, it is a natural fit. I was leaning toward "The Daily Sneer," "Walking & Mocking" or "Don't Hate Me Because I Didn't Mean That About You Specifically." But I guess TTHH sums all that up and more. It's innocent and deviant at the same time.

Thanks, Boy! Ha Ha
