You should all be so happy that our federal government works so hard for our national security.
With that being said, I need to ask Mazzucco and Papsdorf for their phone numbers...I need references to my patriotism and loyalty to my country.
The request stems from the fact that I lost all the phone numbers in my cell phone. But that is another story entirely.
Aren't you glad I'm not a secret agent.
You know how I grew up with 4 brothers and no sisters? While I have virtually no idea how to be a dad to a boy, I have even less of an idea how to be a dad to a girl. However, that's just what I'll be come early August. Devon and I are having a girl! And I'm on my way to the gun shop to buy a shotgun. After my dismal performance at Lincoln's bachelor party, I need to practice my aim so I can tag all those boys coming around some day. Especially the ones that are like Lincoln.
We're heading to Boston for the weekend. Let us know if you'll be around.
Doug, I tried to email you and Anne but haven't heard back. Did you get it? Could we meet up on Saturday? I mentioned in the email we could do dinner on Sat, but we could do lunch, tea, drinks...really anything. No Saturday plans at this point (besides arriving at 1 am and sleeping for a while).
We could also meet up with you on Monday night, but that's a bit harder since we'll be Hanover for the day.
We're leaving the kids at home with grandparents. And, NSA, if you are watching, keep an eye on our house. We expect it'll be occupied a large amount of the time but with all those satellites you can probably tell when people are home. Also, if you're thinking of trying to steal anything (not that there's anything worth stealing), be aware we have a neighborhood watch -- and they really are watching!!
"Have you ever been an officer or a member or made a contribution to an organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of the United States Government and which engages in illegal activities to that end, knowing that the organization engages in such activities with the specific intent to further such activities?"
This is the question I get asked as I strive to obtain Federal Security Clearance to be able to man-the-door at a security conference room that we have at my office.
Now really...even if I remotely happened to be Al-Qaeda...would I answer "yes"?
Americans are smart!
Yesterday was Adin's birthday. If you were thinking about her all day like I was, and missing her, I have an idea to make her next birthday a little better for each of us.
We should all host regional Adin's birthday parties. It's unlikely that she would be able to attend any or all of them, but at least the rest of the world could celebrate her birthday, even in her absence. We could hang up pictures of her, wear grass skirts and leis, and the like.
Another thought I have is that it is exceedingly unfair that Adin lives in Hawaii. Imagine how unfortunate for all those who don't get to hang out with her. They have to go through every day not only not seeing Adin Kawate, but also not living in Hawaii. It's like a double whammy.
Instead, Adin should live in somewhere harsh and cold like Saskatoon. Then people would say, "yeah, I'm stuck in frigid Saskatoon, but at least I get to see Adin Kawate." And others in Hawaii would say, "Well, I don't get to see Adin anymore, but at least I'm in Hawaii."
Just some thoughts.
can you be served rolls by Joe Biden at an annual farmers'/hunters' gathering called the Wild Game Dinner. The menu included bear, wild boar, goose salad, chopped deer, muskrat, bison...and rolls. I don't even know what a muskrat is, some kind of vile marsupial. Needless to say, Applebee's is looking pretty appetizing right now.
More importantly, Shannon, thank you for updating us on your Dad--we continue to think about and pray for you guys. Josh, I hope that your Dad is doing okay as well, and that the kids are back to wellness!
