Leaving on a Jet Plane

Wife: You are going to eat chili for lunch and then get on the plan tonight? Great. I will be looking forward to sitting next to you on the flight.

Me: We aren't cartoons! Just because I have chili for lunch does not mean there will automatically be a problem!

Wife: (walking away muttering) Why don't you pack yourself a brand muffin and some prune juice to go with that chili of yours . . . .

So we are packing up for a long-overdue weekend in Sacramento with a family of friends. After spending so much time with her "brothers" at the TKA, it is going to be interesting to see how Annabelle reacts to her "sisters" Kathryn and Lauren.

Posting will be light if not non-existent this weekend.

ATTENTION BURGLARS: If you are planning to burgle us this weekend, there is a horrid green steamer trunk in the guest room that the wife and I have been arguing over for years. Feel free to take it.

As a good will gesture, you are welcome to take anything that will fit in the trunk. I suggest you start with the pile of clothes that are heaped in the bassinet as I am pretty sure those are going to Goodwill anyway. You should also give some consideration to the worn-out crappy PC in the family room but leave the external drive as that has all our photos and important documents in it.

Just don't wake up the dawg.

If you do wake up the dawg, you are going to have to use your own cell phone to dial 911 as the home phone still hasn't been hooked back up yet (that is assuming you can get your hand out of his mouth long enough to dial).

If worse comes to worse, our neighbor is retired and he most likely will come barging over when he hears your screaming. On the upside, Buckley really likes him and will probably "leave it" if our neighbor asks him to. On the downside, he is a gun-owner so, you know, he will probably insist that you to hang around until he can get you the proper medical and law-enforcement help that you need.

Happy burgling!

And happy Labor Day weekend!
