Whoops

Congratulations Ms. Vice President!

She's ready!

 

She hunts...

and fishes...

and snowmobiles...

and she is tough...

and she is an independant thinker...

and she supports the unions...

(at least her union card touting husband)

What more could Minnesota want?

Political humor

I know I shouldn't be taking shots at a political figure's children. But I found this too funny to resist:

Here is a link to Google's new browser-Google Chrome-I am just beginning to try it today-so far so good.

Meep!

Maybe it's lack of sleep, but this is one of the funnier things I've seen on youtube lately:



Turn your volume up to 11...

Bitter Woman

We went and visited Nick and Scott this weekend and of course we had t have a few brews while we visited. We went shopping for some beer in Superior and Nancy ran into this beer...Does it seem fitting?? Here is some background...

Background: Lest we forget Aunt Cal, an early resident of Lake Mills. Local history remembers her for blindly running into a hitching post and saying, "Excuse me, Dr. Dodge!" It was said that she was an old sweetheart of the famous American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. And she still had the love letters to prove it! Sadly, Aunt Cal never wed. We brewed our Bitter Woman IPA the way we imagine Aunt Cal may have been, very fruity and intensely bitter. So lift up a pint of Bitter Woman IPA and toast Aunt Cal and the bitter woman you know. Cheers!

Tech hi-jinks

Good day all! I hope everybody is enjoying their long Labor Day Weekend. I made my weekend especially long by taking Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday off. Friday the girls and I went to the fair with some friends of ours. Yesterday we went to Scott and Carol's place for an afternoon BBQ. Today and tomorrow we don't have much planned, which is nice after the hectic summer we've had. Tuesday will be the girls' first day of school. Fourth grade, which in our school district means the last year of elementary school. Next year they'll be middle schoolers! And Wednesday I'll be volunteering at one of the bike sharing kiosks for the Republican National Convention (assuming they haven't canceled it due to Gustav). A nice way to spend the "offical" end of summer.

Now, a quick housekeeping note. During our BBQ yesterday the subject of the Family Blog came up. All of us there use feed readers such as Google Reader or Bloglines to follow the Family Blog and other blogs. Sometime in late June or early July we received a strange post from the Family Blog about Patricia Heaton. Don't ask me why. But ever since, we have not been receiving updates. So I hadn't realized that all this interesting stuff has been posted all summer. I'm finally caught up now.

If you use a feed reader and haven't been getting updates from the Family Blog lately, you should go to your reader, unsubscribe from the blog and then resubscribe. This seems to have taken care of the issue for me. If you have any problems, feel free to shoot me an email with questions. Don't miss out!
