  • Election Night Drinking Games

    Shouldn’t we be drinking tonight? Say, every time one of the news guys says that a state has gone to the other guy take a drink. Every time the news guys point out that they are making judgments on very low percentages of returns, take a drink. Every time a state flips, take a drink. Every time CNN puts up that "holograph," take a drink. (Actually its pretty cool in the way that Star Wars knocked our socks off in 1977 but makes us cry today). Every time Wolf Blitzer makes it evident that he wants McCain to win, take a drink.

  • I congratulated a first time voter

    first time voter

    We shared some laughs, talked about the lines at the polls, celebrated her first time at the polls, and wished each other luck in the express lane at Kroger.

  • Vote and get free stuff

    After you vote, run over to Starbucks for a free cup of coffee. Take your coffee over to Krispy Kreme for a free doughnut. Grab some Chick-fil-a for an early dinner.Unconfirmed Then have a free ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s for desert (5-8pm). Then for 2nd deserts head over to Baskin Robbins from 5pm-8pm for another free scoop.Unconfirmed…I think the person who told me this one was confusing it with Ben & Jerry’s. (I am trying to get links for confirmations but my machine isn’t cooperating. I can personally confirm that Starbucks is giving away free coffee.)

    Update: You can also get a free sex toy if you live in New York City or Seattle. And just in case you aren’t reading what you are clicking, that link isn’t safe for work.

  • Vote!

    Amy, a little dejected: "McCain won. But I like him too."

  • From the mouths of babes

    Evan: "Dad, let’s get dressed as pirates up there." (Up there meaning up stairs.)

  • Free coffee for voting

    Starbucks wants you to vote.

  • Tomorrow is the big day!

    Every vote counts!

  • What is parenting?

    Parenting is driving down the road, hearing a child sneeze, looking over your shoulder to see a one inch slug hanging from her nose, and rapidly finding a tissue without wrecking the car.

  • Obama’s Infomercial

    In case you missed it, here’s Obama’s infomercial that played on 3 networks last week:

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: When did I die?
    Master: When did you quit living?

  • Halloween was much fun!

    Cathy has the pictures.

    We had a miscommunication with the 12 year old boys. Noah wanted to be with his friend so we dropped him off but the boys thought we were going to do his friend’s neighborhood then go to our traditional trick or treat spot. When we drove away, they didn’t call to ask about our plan nor did they call to tell us they were done with that neighborhood and ready to join us. Cathy made amends by purchasing a bunch of sale candy after midnight and stuffing the boys bags.
