Mel vs the Law, part 3

Mel fought the law and won! Her case was thrown out based on two simple facts: no one was hurt and Mel didn't give the officer any lip (shocking, right?). It seems you can get out of lots of legal entanglements if you want to make the trip to the court.

She was relieved, yet doesn't feel vindicated. I think she's happy she did it. Maybe.

As a last ditch effort this morning, I tried to get her to allow me to come with her as her attorney and have Ian has my co-counsel. She didn't go for it. I told her I would have charged the "family rate" which, from the bike shop was retail + 15% (to cover the drama).

I am so proud of Mel for sticking up for herself.

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....
