Happy Fire Cracker Day! Or as we say in the land of record setting droughts fire “watcher” day. I’ll be interested to see how much of the state will catch fire tonight. As I stated earlier I will be in the pool manning the hoses. I have no idea what happened to yesterdays post and why it didn’t publish until today. Very strange but it could have something to do with the speed that I posted and shut down. At some point this winter I’m going to completely learn this radio thing so I stop these annoying mistakes. Speaking of mistakes, I have to tell you that the greatest form of entertainment in Tucson is the local evening news. This is easily the fourth string news crew and I think you have to be a convicted felon or have a physical deformity to work here. The only “pretty” people are obviously on their way up and out. The long time anchor woman has so many acne scars that they trowel on her makeup. Add her to the screaming feature reporter (obvious hearing problem) and the dyslexic second chair and you have the makings of some spectacular entertainment. I expect to see Carl reporting on the local school scene any day now. (Blame Dennis for planting him back in the front of my mind) If you’re in this area and not visiting me please tune in, you won’t be disappointed. If you are here to see us I will force this spectacle upon you so get ready. I know I said once a week yesterday but it was a short day at work and I have a little time here while I wait for the boys to wake up. Mom and dad safely traversed the state and are safely in Lake Havasu. If you happen to be watching fireworks tonight please take some pictures. I love this holiday and will be completely jealous. I will pay you back however with pictures of my fat ass in the pool in January. 5:15:32 PM    says you

The 13th Anniversary of our wedded bliss went well. We grilled some food and just hung out. When the kids become a self-watching unit I will be free to once again pull out all of the stops. I am an anniversary fan but we are both so tired right now I'm thinking about a take home malaria test. A new reason for our lack of sleep is our new puppy Charlie. Charlie is a runt from a litter of purebred Portuguese Water Dogs and so far things look shaky. He has some health issues but I think all of the babying is helping him exponentially. The vet out here has detected some minor heart trouble as well as some hip and tooth issues. The kids absolutely love him and their new found love of nudity has made for some interesting scratch marks. Max is having a little trouble with all of the sleeping so you hear a lot of "WATE UP CHARDIE!" but he will learn. Today is Mom and Dads 38th wedding anniversary and I need to get back to the festivities. One side note: as my life seems to have shifted into another gear it looks like a daily blog is going to be tough. At least for the summer I will try and write one whopper per week. So lets make the weekend the deadline and every Monday there should be something new to read. 1:38:00 PM    says you
