I'm working today, so I don't have the opportunity to join the tea bag protests. So here is my little contribution to a movement for smaller government.

I got engaged this weekend. I just thought you would like to know, because my life is so very interesting.


That is all for now.

My younger daughter's 12^th birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Traditionally in our family, 12 is the shotgun birthday. When my older daughter turned 12 I passed on the Stevens single shot .20 gauge I received on my 12^th birthday. The younger daughter informed me that she doesn't want a shotgun, she wants a rifle. She always has to be different. So, this weekend I picked up the Mossberg 702 Plinkster .22LR. She is about to be the proud owner of her very first scary black rifle.

Of course, that was before I knew that they also offered it in pink. I see a paint job in her future.

Now I can't wait for her birthday, because I'm ready to head out and throw some lead down range. I haven't even shot the thing yet and now I want a .22 for me. I forgot just how much fun they are.

Thanks to a restructuring of the tax tables, my take home pay has gone up. Today my pay was exactly $18 more than it was two weeks ago. Now all I have to do is figure out where to spend all this extra money.

But I can't help myself.

Am I the only one who notices a striking resemblance between the recently deceased Paul Harvey and Jim Carey as Fire Marshall Bill?

Uncle Jay Explains the News. This time it's 2008, the year in review. I found every bit of it hilarious. He takes shots at everyone equally, but they are all done in good taste with just enough truth to each one to make it funny. You know, the way comedy should be.
