Go ahead, let your hair down
Tina’s mom, Jan, is in town this week to help Uncle Buddy with some landscaping at his (relatively) new house. Last night the six of us went to Delta Cafe for an early dinner and then I took Tina and the boys to the Rhododendron Garden. The rhodies are blooming yet, but there were around 10 different varieties of wood fowl in evidence. Both boys really enjoyed trying to get close to the ducks. We walked around for over an hour before the sun started to set and we went home.
A loyal reader recently reported that she had problems leaving a comment. I think I fixed the problem so if you’ve had problems in the past, please don’t hesitate to comment again. I crave feedback!
Last night I finally got around to putting some flag football pictures up at the Rynosoft Gallery. Check ’em out.

The P-Mate is a bizarre product that purportedly allows women to pee standing up. Check out the How To page for the explanation of how it works. I am doubtful.

Get A New Daddy
I caught this on PowerFuse a couple of times. Sick but funny.
Woke up this morning with a pain in my head
For the second morning in a row I awoke around 3:00 am and couldn’t get back to sleep. Yesterday I attributed it to the fact that I wasn’t using the CPAP (because I couldn’t breathe through my nose), but that was not the case this morning. This is usually the time that I start deep sleep which can lead to apnea episodes, especially when I’m not using the machine. I’m not sure what the explanation is this morning.
Since I’ve been awake, I’ve had the words “woke up this morning with a pain in my head” floating around in my head and couldn’t figure out to which song they belonged. Turns out those words belong to many songs.
Nadia’s Theme
Remember this? My sister had it on one of her K-Tel records and we listened to it alot back in the 70s. I don’t know why I remembered it recently, but this one is for Maridee.
