Mel vs the Law, part 2

And she's off. After an evening of worry, anxiousness and nervousness, Mel is off for her day in court. She contends the light was green when she entered the intersection.

I tried to ease her mind. I told her I had a vision of her judge wearing one of those powdered wigs and an angry jury casting unbelieving glances. I told her to avoid speeding through lights to get there on time. I asked her if she knew any bail bonds people.

I hummed, "I fought the law and the law won" as I made coffee.

She's going to do great! Of course, I also told her how proud I am of her for standing up and being an example for our kids.

I suspect she'll take any deal they offer.

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....

Put small together with a tiny board and you get Ian. He loves doing these turns.
