Ipod Vs. Lawnmower


So there I am cool, out for a relaxing drive around my yard on the mower, jamming to the latest Aquabats track, when "pop" and silence. Ok, not silence but lawn mower engine/blade noise. Ah, crikey!

I park the mower and gaze horrifiededly down at the dangling headphone connecter. Why did I pick the cool green color? I search the surrounding area and no luck, until I search the tracks of the mower some 5 feet back.

Yep, face up, ran over the sucker. Will it work? Is it blemished? Will the Aquabats play again?

Sure it will! Everything is ok, minus a couple of scratches. Fantastic.

Story moral: be mindful of what pocket you stick the pod in during mowing.

You also need to make sure it is not the pocket where you have the Lance in your Pants!

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....
