I don't have any video right now but I'll see what I can do.

I do have a picture I took the other day that illustrates the fact that Kimmie is equal parts cuteness and sweetness, all rolled into one lovable bundle:

My mother-in-law said just the other day that I "baby" Kimmie. She might be right!

i'm surprised you think I would have one!
This is her on my neighbors lap – Gracie crawls up on her lap and just sits there like a Big furry child!

Look, someone has graduated earlier today. It means I didn't get kicked out of uni but finished it instead.

I've felt the need to share the news with you guys since you were someone who held me accountable and patiently read - or didn't read - my complaints about how complicated and sleep deprived uni life was. So, thank you for that. You are amazing! :}

Congratulations Victoria, best wishes for your future!!!

Well, I grew up on $1.98 cassettes and LPs of OTR shows, and listened to the Big Broadcast on WAMU!

Comedy writers then were a breed apart. I especially enjoy Don Quinn (Fibber McGee and Molly) and Paul Rhymer (Vic and Sade---a uniquely witty, quirky show). Fred Allen had a unique turn of phrase---and one of his writers was the author of "The Caine Mutiny." Jack Benny had a good team of writers, too. I doubt anyone can write that kind of comedy anymore ... now comedy tends toward how far out on a limb you can go with adult-oriented references and gross-out humor, it seems.* Or am I just a fuddy-duddy?

*Yet I happen to love "Mrs. Brown's Boys." Go figure.

A few years ago we went on a cruise and they had this female comedian that performed a family show at 8:00 and an adult show late in the evening. She was absolutely hilarious. Everybody was in stitches at the 8:00 show. We also went to the late show thinking it wouldn't be that bad. WRONG! It was bad, real bad. And she wasn't nearly as funny. We walked out after about 5 minutes and people weren't laughing like they did at the earlier show. She didn't have to be vulgar to be funny. But I guess it sells tickets. I miss the old days that I never got to experience.

Goodnight everyone!

I just had ice cream on my mind too.

In this heat, it's on your mouth, hands, shirt, and pants too.

Good evening,

It was disgustingly HOT today, Six Flags was so uncomfortable in the heat and all the people there. We will not head back there when it is as hot as it was today. Driving through downtown Springfield, MA at 6pm the thermometer in the car said 95 outside.

Tomorrow we will stay where it's cool and see a movie.

I am done like dinner tonight.

Goodnight, everyone
