Sunday, February 07, 2010 The Big Five-Oh There's doctor birthday boy with mom, in modest presentation. I encouraged them to get comfortable, relax, you know, meld into each other. Advice they went overboard with on the first picture, leaving it far too racy for this family oriented blog. We have a new sound system in the house. Why we spent over $2K to wake up to the syrupy swoon of what sounded like an Hawaiian Perry Como I don't know. The receiver will tune a wide variety of radio channels, plus there are hundreds of songs on the connected iPOD, the CD player, and even the satellite HDTV, also interconnected. Unfortunately, it seems the remote control is never at arms length, and evidently the sonic permeation of  "Eia ka pane, Ka e o, Ho`olauna kaua a pili no!" throughout  the living room and kitchen is not so bad as to merit one getting their butt out of the chair to fetch the remote control to tune it out! I'm just saying. No worries, tho. In order to get away from the Como-like drone all I have to do is scratch at the back door, indicating my need to go out into the quiet of the yard, to make yellow snow. I once wrote my name in the snow - in cursive! A badge of honor thing here in the north country. Lucy is unable to do this owing to the obvious anatomical constraints preventing a female from seeing where she's peeing. IOW, it's a guy thing. Mom's birthday is nigh; and a party has been planned later this month in a distant place to celebrate hers and Master's birthday. I will endeavor to snap some pictures during what I expect will be an evening of enthusiastic Bacchanalia! 2:10:28 PM    Bark Back [] © Copyright 2010 Rufus. Nonsense, distribute widely and freely!
