For the Men...

If you find yourself exhausted and stressed from a daily grind of attending meetings, dealing with whiny students/customers/etc., and caring for a growing brood of small children, I have one word for you.

Today I went to Home Depot where I bought a spark plug, filters, and oil, then came home and tuned-up a hand-me-down chainsaw. After that I proceeded to cut down a pine tree along our driveway that died a few months ago.

It was glorious.

To continue the testosterone fueled escape from reality, tomorrow night we've invited some friends over and we're going to have ourselves a bonfire while drinking beer. I think we might just have to shoot some stuff while we're at it to complete the experience.

The Hills are Alive...

You thought that Adin having a dog was big news.

You thought Lincoln finally acknowledging that he is running for state office was big news (he's been campaigning since I met him).

You thought there was nothing left of creativity in BLD land.

You were wrong.

I warn you: the enclosed video will make Adin's dog act like the Harry from "Harry and the Lady Next Door." This video may single-handedly keep Lincoln out of office. This video may make you laugh and cry... but not in a good way.

Without further ado, in musical form, I express my feelings for the BLD.

Extra credit if you listen enough times to figure out the lyrics.

Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller?

Harry?

Can someone tell me who Harry is?
