You're  A Big Boy Now

August 9, 2013

We went to DC yet again this week, I couldn't resist the opportunity to not only visit with our most important customer but also attend a Congressional reception given by our industry lobby. To say the least I was not impressed....with the reception; Congress is in recess and the event was mainly attended by very hungry and extremely thirsty staff, aides, and interns; but it was a good trip and we got to see Leanne, Andrew, and Jackson. Jackson left early Tuesday for a trip to Chicago (golly Pete this is a big city!) to attend the ALEC meeting. There were demonstrators:

After I saw the picture in a text I sent back a note reading "we used to have a dog named Jesse, Jackson" Well I found that amusing anyway. 

And this picture was found on the internet; I'm publishing it not to make a political statement but to once again show a resemblance to that old french dog we had, Sheeeeee-thead. Looks just like something that old dog would do and since he always had his dog-sensor setting on SCREWUP it looks like something he would do, although as I recall he was a Democrat. 

Saw this in the neighborhood last week, we have some fancy neighbors or maybe the DEA was making an airborne assault

Dink spent another week in lockup, she knows she has to get stronger to bust out, and I think that's in her immediate plans.....as in next week.

RIP brother Gill, you were a good neighbor. 

Happy anniversary to me, and condolences to SWMBO, for 34 years she's been putting up with my unique brand of bovine manure; think I'll get her a really special gift card.

Picking up Jackson Monday, moving him home for just a few days before depositing him at HSC next Friday. Then we're heading towards a high school reunion; seems as though those old farts with whom I graduated have been loose for 40 years. Glad I'm not that old.
