Today in Glenmoore 3-10-11

Well, greetings from Glenmoore.  The land of melting snow and flooding rivers.  It's been almost a month since our last post - that's because there just ain't that much happening in Glenmoore.

All the snow has finally melted, revealing huge piles of deer dung in our flower beds.  Laurie wanted me to clean it up - I argued for the organic fertilizing benefits of deer pellets.  It's only fitting that the dung fueled by our munched deer resistant plants should serve to revitalize the Spring bloom.

Donkey with Mysterious Voodoo Pins Removed

However, the donkey saga just doesn't seem to want to die.  There were rumors of strange African head shrinking cult activities under Brian's altar cabana next to his pool.  While at first thought thought to be the mindless babbling of jealous neighbors, someone brought this photograph to my attention.  The donkey pictured in the photo was found in a dryer vent and rumored to be stuck in various sensitive spots with voodoo pins. The shrunken donkey is actually about 1/25th of it's original size.  All residents of Glenmoore are advised to keep both their pets and small children close at hand until this investigation is completed.


Big Balls in Cow Town (this is actually the name of a very famous song)
Well, the big news of the past few weeks was the birth of our third granddaughter - Esme Laurie (nice move on the middle name huh!).  Laurie's daughter Anika gave birth to Esme 10 days early on March 2nd - so she now shares the same birthday with me and Dr. Seuss.  Mother and daughter doing well.  Papa Chris seeking paternity test data from Mr. Magoo.

Laurie
Three down three to go.  The first week kicks her fanny, she recovers some on the second week and the third week she goes out and gets her hair done.  Life is good and she is stylin.

With the help of friends, family and our home aid Laurie has gotten out to Library, Target, Wegman's and the hair dresser (you thought I was kidding).  Laurie's also getting a ton of things done around the house with assistance so everyone is quite happy (especially me).  This has allowed me to get to the office three days a week and preserve some sanity.

As if we didn't have enough on our plate, I had my shoulder done on Friday.  Doc said I'd be good to go fishing and play golf by mid-April.  Didn't mention it would feel like an amputation with a rusty dull knife for the first week.  And they just don't make pain meds like they used to!

I truly expected that three days stuck in the house with neither of us being able to drive would have resulted in an untimely death.  However, luckily I felt so bad that I just laid around and complained to the walls - Laurie never listens to me anyway.  Starting to feel better and now able to get my arm fully up over my head.  Once I'm able to raise a baseball bat over my head the investigation of the altar cabana will continue.

Today's Quote
Today's quote was submitted by the "Professor" in honor of my birthday on March 2.

"Be who you are and say what you  feel...

Because those that matter... don't mind...

And  those that mind... don't matter."

Dr. Seuss
