New Addition

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Hola!

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.

More to come later.

Titanic Redux?

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

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.

Spring reading…

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

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?

Icebox of the Nation

Things like this just don’t help my case…

The Crying Game

Monday, February 4th, 2008

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

Oscar goes golfing in 12 degree weather

Monday, January 21st, 2008

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)

1 month til Spring Training

Friday, January 11th, 2008

All I have to say is - welcome to the fukodome… Cubs will do it this year (I’m purposely leaving ‘do it’ quite vague, this is not unintentional).

Sometimes I come across articles that make me chuckle and brighten up my day. This is one of them. An utter farce, from start to finish.

Cubs and Cardinals fans class up the whole sworn-enemy thing

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.

Kringle is here!!!!

The kringle is here, the kringle is here..

I’m so excited I can hardly type. Thanks Jo and Bing!

Bad mortgage? We’ll save you..

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

This kind of annoys me…

Mortgage bailout

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.

High Comedy

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Sometimes the line between comedy and tragedy are indistinguishable. In this case, I can’t tell the difference.

The Republican youtube debate was last night on CNN. I don’t know what was more appalling, the fact that this was a question:

What would Jesus do?

Or maybe it was some of the videos of these people asking the questions.

I saw rebel flags on the wall, people throwing shotguns to eachother. I mean, who in the hell are these people? What planet are they from?

How about the principles of our founding fathers?

Here are some of the other brilliantly inspired questions:

Do you believe in a conspiracy to make a new union?

How many guns do you own?

On the Death Penalty, what would Jesus do?

Do you believe every word of The Holy Bible?

What does the “stars and bars” flag represent?

Here’s the rest of the questions:
