THURSDAY SHORTIES
Yesterday was my birthday. 44 in case you're wondering. It was a great day. I got my best birthday gift ever -- again! Last year, Lisa and Evan gave me a Senseo One-Cup Coffee Maker which I love! This year, they gave me another one -- for my office. So, if you're in the area, stop by and I will brew you a cup as we chat!
Evan had his second try at a school spelling bee today. He went out in the fourth round I believe. He missed the word "insensitive" which, to this dad, did seem harder than most of the other words. Last year you may recall he was runner-up. This year, one of his good friends was runner-up so that was exciting. Man, watching your kid in a spelling bee is nerve wracking.
Curious what your Grinch name is? Check it out here. Lots of fun.
Oh, and we have crabs! We are crab-sitting two hermit crabs at our house for some family friends. Their names are Jerry and something else. Not sure they can hear us anyway. As Evan says "I am not sure they like us. They just sit there." Which is pretty much what they always do I think. Maybe, over the course of the next week or so, I will have some exciting crab stories to share. You never know.
Take care. Dot your i's and cross your t's. Just because.

Last year when I returned from Haiti, I was unpacking and much to my surprise, I had a crab in my suitecase. I had purchased some shells at the beach and I guess he or she was inside. Just goes to show how bad our customs people are about stopping illegals. He lived for about 10 days before he croaked. I still have him. I can't hear me either.
Happy Birthday again. I will stop sometime and have a cup of coffee. Maybe they can get you a two cup next time.
Peevishgrouch Selfishpoop. My Grinch name.
One other thing on the crabs. I remember an old Cheech&Chong skit about Buster the crab. He wasn't a hermit crab.
Tell Evan I always wanted to be in the spelling Bee. They never asked me though.
