An Embarrasing Melon Moment


So, it was like the first week on my new stay-at-home job. A bit bored, a bit lonely so I say hey, I will make Mel laugh... So i madethis image of myself being attacked by Monkeys (no, not the band):

Nutty? Sure. Over the top? Probably. So I send it to Mel and my good friend Jeff. Well next I hear they are showing it to their offices (apparently uncontrolled laughter attracts office cube worker bees like moths to a candle). Not only are associates of my two recipients the ones to see it, now it is spreading like wild fire. It is being faxed, emailed, posted, printed on tee shirts, coffee mugs, hats and the like. Then the coup de grace (I don't speak or spell french so cut me some slack, huh?) Fox News picks up the story and adds to the confusion...
Neither fair nor balanced, nor researched. So now my phone is ringing, from local papers to USA Today. Everyone wants my story.

Now, an ethical dilemma, do you make up a story or just look dumb saying it was a gag for my wife... I am sure you can guess what I did.

I wrote a book, went on Oprah, sold it to her book of the month club only to be found out later that I am a fraud. Rats.

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
