I thought you might like to see new pictures of my grandchildren.  As you can tell my kids are torturing their children.  That is Greyson on the top, 6 months old, getting ready for his first halloween.  Do you think he looks happy in the that silly spider costume, I don’t think so either.  Why can’t you just make a little clown face on the poor kid and we will take him trick or treating that way, but oh nooooo.  Then their is my girl Caelee at a bronco party last week when we lost to the Chiefs.  I think the way she has her hat on and the face she is making as to how the game is going.  However anyway you look at it they are still cute.

Well I’ve done it, I can’t believe I did it but I did.  I actually sat at my computer and e-mailed at TV show.  The other day I was watching Ellen, I really like her show.  But lately with every celebrity guest she has on she will ask them what they think of the election.  At first It didn’t matter, if you are like me I don’t care what they say anyhow.  But on Tuesday she had Sharon Osborne on, who I normally like, and she asked her about the election.  Well she went off on Sarah Palin like I had never heard before, it was down right rude.  I started to get aggrevated when I thought is she even a citizen of the U.S.  I don’t think so.  What right does she have to go off like that,soooo I jumped on my computer and e-mailed Ellen.  I have not had a response,like I expected one.  Was I wrong ?  or should I do what my wife says…just tune it out

Just got back from a wonderful golf trip to New Mexico with the Hairy Backs.  You know that group of crazy guys I golf with all the time.  I’ve included some action photos of the big event, including the initiation of a new Hairy Back.  You just don’t expect to play with us you have to go through a ritual.  This year we broke in Dave, he is the guy wearing the funny costume which  made him wear while playing.  Yea I know it’s like a older guys fratenity, all of the members are from different walks of life.  The thing is we all get along, we don’t talk shop, we love our families, and enjoy the golf time.  Yes some are better golfers than others but that does not matter, it’s all about the time together.  I think it is good if we all have time like this and if you don’t start something.  It can be anything, life is to short not to develop a little outside of the family fun.  You will have to come up with another name as the Hairy Backs is taken. Well if your name is Mary or some other girls name Hairy Backs might not be right for your group..see ya

We had a wonderful day at the zoo on saturday.  It was the member’s breakfast with the animals and of course Carol and I took the whole family.  It started early so we got to eat and watch all the animals eat as well.  We are so lucky to have such a great zoo here.  After we ate we walked around and saw all the animals and their eating habits.  Plus they had lots of hands on exhibits for young and old alike.  As you can tell by the pictures my two grandchildren Caelee and Greyson were into it.  However when they had a chance to touch a Blue-Tongued Skink, so typical, Caelee would have nothing to do with it ,but Greyson couldn’t touch it enough.  What a great day we had together, I’m so blessed to have my family here.  Also if you get a chance go to the zoo its is a great place.

With my schedule I get alot of alone time at home, Carol teaches school so she is gone more than me.  Yes I know I have my two dog friends to talk with and they always listen with great intent.  However I find that I really miss my best friend to talk with, Carol my wonderful wife.  I’ve known her since we were 15, married 37 years, my best friend.  I sit around most of the afternoon with great anticipation to talk with her about anything and everything.  Of course by the time she gets home she is exhausted after a day with 17 kindergarteners.  But bless her, she will sit there and just let me ramble on about the day , work, politics, kids, anything.  I’ve had all day to let it build-up, you know the feeling and it just flows out.  She never complains, she just listens and then offers her little suggestions which always make me feel good.  Of course I’m such a loser most days I don’t ask about her day, she does not seem to mind.  She is such a giver and a reciever, never complains how can I be so blessed to have this woman in my life ,all my life.  That’s what best friend and lovers do for each other, I think I better start picking up my end of the deal.  But if I don’t she won’t complain she just always seems to understand , this is one of many reasons I’m looking forward to another 37 years with my Carol who I love dearly

You’ve been e-mailing me about the new video on our web page.  If you haven’t seen it yet, go to our M.A.D. tube section and look at the video about the size of my head.  Gov our producer put this together because he, and many others , are always teasing me about the size of my head.  Thanks for sticking -up for me, but it is true, I have a hugh head.  The last time I really checked it is over a size 8!  Good luck trying to find a hat the size, you know the pro-back kind of hats.  You also know I’m a hat kind of guy and all those hats say adjustable to any size are a joke. Who can where those hats only normal people like you…not me!  I remember playing baseball as a young lad and trying to find a team hat that fit, NO WAY!  I would put one on, usually the biggest one in the box.  It looked like one of those cup cake wrappers on top of a basketball, I never have lived it down.  So I appreciate you sticking up for me about the video but it is true I have a huge noggin. To quote Mike Meyers from that crazy movie “So I Married an Ax Muderer”..my head is a virtual planetoid…..I have learned to live with it..

Can you guys help me with a little question.  When you shop at your grocery store and you are purchasing some of those 10 for 10 deals how does that work?  Are you only allowed to buy 10 total 10 for 10 items or can you buy 10 each of all the 10 for 10 items?  I always get nervous when I check out that I’ve done it wrong.  I just know the check-out person is going to set off some sort of loud alarm and get on the PA system yelling “I’ve caught another cheater on register 8″.  Everyone is staring at you, you’re punished by having to clean out the dairy case.  I know I could ask one of the workers but it’s like having to ask for directions.  There is not a guy out there who is going to do that!  I’ve been lucky so far…never busted, I guess I’m doing it right.  The thing is I’m not sure what I’m doing…10 for 10, it’s some kind of trap.  I pride myself on being a great grocery shopper, this makes me question my judgement.  Hey, don’t even get me started on 10 lbs. for 10, I don’t even know what that means!!

Is it just me or has the media turned on Sarah Palin like a bunch of Great White’s.  This is the lady as of 3 weeks ago was the relatively unknown govenor of Alaska who is now the relatively unknown vice-presidential candidate of the Republican party.  Instead of congratulating her on being the first woman of the Republican party to ever achieve such an honor ,the press is attacking her for all kinds of reasons.  I understand most of them, however we just learned that her 17 year old daughter is pregnant and will marry the father of the baby.  OH BOY!, this was like blood in the water.  The press for the most part is all over this story, even Mr. Obama  even told them to back off as he is the son of an 18 year old mom.  Why can’t they concentrate on Mrs. Palin’s experience or if she would make a good vice-president and leave the family alone.  This is not our business, her political stance is.  It’s like all the media is working for the National Inquirer. Do you really want more on this story? I think not. It might be more of our business to know how she cooks a mooseburger, I understand she does eat them.
