We had a great cookout/party for My son's birthday yesterday. The weather was perfect, the house was clean and shiny, and quite a few people showed up. Napoleon manned the grill and made burgers and sausages and whatnot (very yummy), the kids had a super-soaker fight, and K got some great gifts. His favorites were a new Jesse James bicycle, a soft-side pool, and a LOT of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Before his party, we dyed his hair black and cut him a mohawk. He looks so awesome! For those of you connected enough to see pictures of him, I'll upload some birthday shots as soon as I get them back from My sister' s camera.
Yesterday was a great day.

My brother went to the gas station a few minutes ago to get Me a soda. I'd asked him for a large fountain drink; I wanted half-and-half Pepsi and Dr. Pepper. He showed up with a 20 ounce bottle, saying, "They didn't have Pepsi on tap." He handed Me a Berries & Cream Dr. Pepper (one of My favorites). I hadn't mentioned this, he just noticed that I'd bought it several times and remembered. If your brothers are anything like Mine, you'll understand how sweet a gesture that was.

The search for the right girl is exhausting. It's not like I'm asking a lot, really... All she has to do is be cute, love Me, and do as she's told. What's the problem?
I seem to be pretty good at finding the wrong ones, though. So far, I've found one who wanted Me to choose between her and Napoleon, one who lied at every turn, one who flaked and disappeared, one who wanted different things than I do, and one who doesn't know what the hell she wants. That last one needs to make all her personalities have a pow-wow and decide on a course of action, I tell ya whut.
There have been more, those are just the highlights.
It's kind of discouraging.

A husband wrote the following letter for his wife and left it on the dining room table:
"To My Dear Wife, You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset. I shall be home before midnight."

When the man came home late that night, he found the following letter on the dining room table:

"My Dear Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 54 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 54 years old. As you know, I am a math teacher at our local college. I would like to inform you that while you read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, is 18 years old. As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of Math, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference - 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow."
