Of Girls & Fudge Hearts

Sissy came over yesterday and "The Girls" made some really yummy treats for Val Day. They rocked some heart-shaped fudge and some pretzel-chocolate-M&M thingies that look wonderful. And check out Brooke, licking the spoon! A true professional!

A Little Afghanistan Right Here At Home

One of my neighbors, a shriveled-up old-timer here since our subdivision was a farm, looks to be into farming again, sort of. He's growing poppies! Not a bad second career I guess, depending on the current state of the Opium/Morphine/Codeine black market.

If he drives up in a Lambo one day soon and a hot 20-year-old girlfriend spills out of it, we'll know for sure.

A Matter Of Perspective

We tease poor Zach endlessly about a cute little girl in school who has a big crush on him. She gives him lots of attention and flirts with him constantly and this embarrasses him to no end. And even though he has a crush on her too, he will never admit it. After all, cooties and social isolation are still very real threats at this age.

As we ribbed him about his girlfriend this weekend, he gave his most telling denial yet:

"Dad, I don't have a girlfriend. SHE has a boyfriend".
