Why don’t I blog anymore? Well, no one blogs anymore. It’s all microblogging - twitter, facebook, and the ilk. We are all apparently so busy we don’t even have time to kill time. We micro-time our time. Ha.
The reason I don’t update the blog is twofold. Blogging requires:
1. Free time
2. Time for introspection
I have neither. As you know, having 2 toddlers in the house allows for zero introspection.
Anyway, I’m updating the site now because I actually have both, due solely to the fact that it’s 5:50am, but really 6:50 am, and I’m hardwired to get up and do something. And I’m happy that it doesn’t involve wiping banana off Owen’s face and hands. Woohoo!
Anyhow, I believe that I could possibly compromise with the blog. I don’t have time to write full blog posts, but I do 30-60 seconds to write down the funny stuff (ahem) my kids say. This is inspired by one of the all time great uses of a blog platform - shitmydadsays
So, I’ll give this a shot for a while and see how it goes…I can’t always promise you’ll find it funny, but know that if I wrote it here…it was funny and I guess you had to be here
I call this one: Be more precise Dad…
Me: Oscar, are your shoes dirty?
Oscar: Dirty AND muddy.
Bet your Father’s Day isn’t as exciting as mine! Please welcome the punctual Owen Marvin Hudson - a trim 7 lbs 1 oz spread over 20 inches. Very handsome and he’ll certainly be giving his brother a run for his money. Mom is thrilled to be home and trying to catch a few z’s when she can.
Memorial Day was fun! A bit chilly, one or two Tornadoes, and a lot of great food and drink as usual.
Oscar is eager to get in his practice hours before the 4th of July. He’s testing for the job of boat taxi driver to shuttle the partygoers back and forth from Camp Wissota North and Camp Wissota South. Note to visitors - bring Dramamine.
Oscar has been working on his ‘brown bear brown bear what do you see? book. Like most of us, he doesn’t like people reading over his shoulder Plus he’s 2, so back off daddy! I’m tryin’ to read.
If you don’t know this book you can follow along:
green frog what do you see?
white dog what do you see?
sheep what do you see?
gold fish what do you see?
OK. This is over the top. Hillary Clinton is pulling the crying card again.
Look - One time is ok, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
2 Times? C’mon. We all know what it did to your polls last time. Give me a break. If anyone thinks this is genuine, please excuse yourself. Hillary Clinton is tougher than a bag of hammers. The last time she cried for real was…
NEVER.
As our nitwit commander in chief would say:
Fool me once….shame on…ah…er….can’t get fooled again!
Hillary weeps
Yes, that’s the way we roll up here in the frozen tundra. Golfing in the basement. (see, all that procrastinating on decorating the downstairs paid off! now we can hit the crap out of the ball downstairs and not worry)
They applaud a great play regardless of which team’s player makes it. No brawls in the stands or parking lots, no obscene gestures, just a friendly rivalry decided on the field.
What the??
What on earth is Ed talking about? Never in my life have I heard a Cub fan applaud a St Louis ‘great play’. Are you freaking insane Ed? Most Cub fans would strangle a St Louis fan if they thought no one was looking. Cardinal fans troll up to Wrigley every year to get drenched in beer, and always end up looking like deer on the highway.
Apparently Ed Hardiman has never set foot in Wrigley Field. St Louis fans are tread upon with ferocity at Wrigley field. The word Hate comes to mind. It’s ugly in Wrigley during a cubs/cards matchup. I will go as far as to say I dislike Cards fans even more than Sox fans. Ed, I’ll buy you a ticket this summer so you can actually do some research before your next article.
You get yourself in a terrible variable rate mortgage so you can live in a bigger house and make more money when you sell it, then the rates actually go up, which you are fully aware (or better be), then you whine about it, and then the government comes in and bails you out by freezing your rates…
In hindsight, I guess we should’ve gone for that ridiculous low rate ARM. So much for being responsible.
