  "help us, obi wan kenobi..."

For your viewing pleasure, here are some pics of the kids' Halloween costumes...



In case it's not obvious... I was in charge of one costume and my wife was in charge of the other. Who did a better job? It's not for me to judge. Although I will say, only ONE of the costumes won First Place for "Most Original" in the town Halloween Parade this weekend...




Oh yeah, baby...

(PS> Yes, that IS an actual color-changing LED light on Artoo's head. Thank you.)

  and the "parent of the year" award goes to...

I was trying to give the Boy medicine this morning, and the Dimetapp was empty and I couldn't get the cap off the Sudafed, and I don't even remember saying it, but I must have, because while I was checking on the dosage for 3-year-olds on the bottle, Ian picks up the bottle of Dimetapp and says...

"What... da hell... is... UP wif yis?"

Me: (calmly) Ian, don't say that.

(thoughtful pause)

Ian: ... shit. 

  "that's a perfectly good bike! who would throw that away...?"

The third Monday of the month around here is "bulk trash pickup" day. Which means that all over town, curbs are piled high with mattresses and lounge chairs, bikes and microwaves, bookshelves and treadmills. And I can't tell you how hard I am fighting my genetic predisposition towards driving around town and loading up the van with stuff. I swear to god... this would be like CHRISTMAS for my Dad!

  choosy dads choose...

I made the kids lunch today and then cleared the table of all the bread and stuff and went to check my email. After I while I noticed that Ian was sitting at the table going... "J...A...I...F! J...A...I...F!"

OK, I'll bite... "Whatcha spellin', Buddy?"

(I was pretty sure I knew what was coming...)

(pause) "Peanut Butter!"

Yes, yes you are. My only question is how he knows what a lowercase "f" looks like.

  is he strong? listen bud, he's got radioactive blood...

I've decided that one way Netflix allows you to SAVE money is by allowing you to rent extremely silly DVDs that, despite their silliness, you've been tempted to actually drop $50 on everytime you pass them in Target. Case in point... last week I Netflicked the first disc of "Spiderman - the Complete '67 series". As much as I enjoyed some of the groovy music, I'm somewhat disappointed that overall, my tastes weren't quite as discerning when I was EIGHT as I remember them being.

One amusing thing... a large number of the voices are from Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer! Example... J. Jonah Jameson - Donner... his secretary is "Mrs. Donner" and every random child and paperboy sounds suspiciously like Rudolph himself. Worse yet... you'd never know when he's Spiderman, but when he's Peter Parker, the voice becomes a little more tenory... it's HERMEY!!

I feel betrayed somehow... 








introduction

This is my new weblog. (I hate the word "blog".) I'm not sure what I'll post here... mostly clever little observations and crabby rants about my day-to-day. Sound like fun? Yeah...probably not. But everybody else does it, and I wanted to grab the name "davemorgan" before one of the many others who share that common moniker. So... until I get tired of it... read... enjoy.
