No – which is why he can eat three times what I do and drink like a fish sometimes and still remain much thinner than me. Not that I am suggesting anyone hate him for that or anything. 😃

Why do I have a feeling I just set **Plant** up for a post or three?  
Tomorrow we visit some friends for their annual pool party. Barring disaster or some freaky act by PennDOT or something.

Ogbligatroy durkene psot. 😃 Ok, not really durkene but pretty well lit. What can I say but a good time was had by all. Good friends, good drink, good food. JDD and Partner are still here, which is ok, cause we told ‘em to come prepared to partay and spend tonight and tomorrow night here. Of course, if any other of the partayers had had too much, they would have stayed as well. A firm rule is, if you appear too drunk to drive you shall stay. Anywho, after everybody else left, JDD and OYKW did an early crash. JDD Partner and I sat out at the cee-mint pond drinkin’ beerverages and talkin’. Now we both are inside for the evenin’. I’m still a little wired so I’m snoopin’ round teh intarbooz a bit.

Hope everyone’s had a good day.

I’m still up. No good reason; just mentioned the movie Dinosaurus! in a thread and had to watch it yet again before going to sleep. With that I’ll say Good Night.

Up early, thanks to Taz again. I’m hoping \*\*FCD \*\*really does sleep in today. Yesterday, he started thinking and had to get up - silly man!

Last night, I built a peach french toast casserole for this morning’s breakfast. When I hear my sweetie in the shower, I’ll start it. Luckily, it’s cool enough out that the windows are open, so I won’t have a battle between the a/c and the oven.

Beyond that, dunno what I’ll do today. There’s a good chance of t-storms all day. I’ll decide after breakfast. Meanwhile, I’m going to caffeinate and surf.

Happy Independence Day, 'Murica! And a happy Saturday to the rest of ya!

They’re newspaper men, son. They have to do whatever it takes to get the story to the press on time.

Happy Saturday!

It’s raining, and cool outside.  
I went outside with the dog this morning and realized it was the first time I had set foot outside since I got home.

Nothing special doing today. Just another day here.

Happy Birthday Flytrap!
