State of the Blog 2k7


Another year has befallen us and yet, here I am and there you are. What has changed in the past year?

Has it been more than just some changing colors to the background or life changing moments like our summer vacation to my childhood "happy places"? Has it been moments of "wow, is he stupid" or "you know, if more people thought like the Big Melon...things would really improve"? Has it been a story of growth and pride of my kids that have touched you or simply your insatiable diet for potty stories and low brow humor?

Whatever the reason, even if just to try to keep up with the Melons, thanks. You're following of my misadventure (that is life, told as a misadventure because "life is what happens while you are making other plans") keeps us all just a little bit closer, even if distances are far.

So much happens today without us knowing, like right now there are 4 teams trying to row across the Atlantic Ocean. (I asked my good friend Jeff to try it with me, but he doesn't think we'd get off the dock before fighting. He is probably right.)

So, I'll soldier on, keeping you update (+/- a couple of days) of where we are headed.

After all, failure is not an option. We must have victory (even though we can't really define what that victory is or even if it is possible). Surely, the success can be found by repeating the same actions and praying for a different outcome (see dictionary under "insanity").

Noj nOj noJ

PS. I thought we'd get off the dock, we'd just end up swimming somewhere in the North Atlantic. Remember Titanic? That does not look like a lot of fun!

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....
