Spoiler: Bubba is fine now! In fact, he hasn’t even slowed down…
Warning: There is a graphic, stomach turning picture after the break…
Bubba passed yet another childhood milestone last week: he broke both bones in his left forearm. I’ll tell the story in his words:
My dad and my brother were playing zombie tag and I was [...]

It’s Spring!
It’s spring break time in Florida. The streets are full of sunburned tourists, the grocer’s freezer section has been stripped of all microwavable convenience foods, and we’re running low on booze…
Our economy is dependent on two things here: tourists and NASA. I love both, but it is disconcerting to run to the grocery store and [...]
Spinning, Seaming, and… Baseball
Sorry about that; I lost the alliteration.
We had a very busy weekend here at the House at Two Palms. This weekend marked the opening day of the monsters’ T-Ball league. We walked to the ball field for pictures, hotdogs, and bouncy things. Whoever designed those blowup bouncy castles is a genius! The boys looked so [...]
Manly Man Knitting
It’s sad but true: I am not terribly romantic. I don’t watch “date movies” or “chick flicks,” I don’t read bodice rippers, and I don’t get wrapped up in Valentine’s Day. This year, however, I came to my senses early enough to whip out a few things for The Hairy One.
No Pom Pom for Him

Who’s got the Mojo?
Today is going to make or break my holiday mojo. We start the day with the Reindeer Run, a 5K run/walk held every year in our hometown. Bubba and Bug will be running about half the run this year; I’ll follow them on my jingle-bike.
Next, we rush off to Breakfast with Santa. The jolly old [...]

I give you the Coolest Thing Ever.
I started this rubber band ball over three years ago, adding two or three rubberbands with each day’s mail delivery. I started it because, really, what else do you do with 3,000 rubberbands? I never expected that it would be the Coolest Thing Ever.
The story starts on [...]
I’d rather they get botulism than whine*
Once again, while in the car, Bubba was trying to decipher the universe. The following is as close to his words as possible…..
“Mom, I think I know how God grew up.”
“Really?” said I.
“I think that God’s mom and dad died when He was still in His mom’s body. When He got to heaven, [...]
Do dolphins have nipples?
We went to the local pancake place tonight, and the monsters were cracking me up!
While we were eating, a foursome walked into the restaurant. “I hope that guy’s not an enemy,” says Bubba.
“What?!?”
“I hope that guy’s not an enemy.”
“Whose enemy?”
“I don’t know, I just hope he’s not an enemy.”
“I’m sure he’s not, Bubba.”
Then on [...]
