The Mothership goes here. So does my dog. Sorry about your pants.

Welcome back to the beginning of the new Mothership page. I'm not entirely sure how it's gonna work out from here, but we'll see. There is a ton original Mothership content in it's original form over yonder, until I get it transferred here. I also wrote a bunch of stuff that won't be retrievable due to a lacksidasical database saving habit.

Cripes, y'alls... Time flies, huh?

Several months ago, Oscar wakes up a bit earlier than me, climbs onto the wifey and I's bed, over me and proceeds to snap the arm of my glasses off. A couple of days later the glasses had been through 2 transformations of MacGrubering, finally ending up with the arm of an old pair of glasses being wired (much like a muffler that has been dragging) to the the main glasses part. It works out ok, but they are a bit slidey if I get sweaty and stuff. About a month ago, my rigged glasses fell into a paint rolling pan full of grass green paint. Today, I went to help Oscar stand and pee, and my glasses slid off and into the peeful toilet.

So, I'll likely, reluctantly, vote for McCain this go 'round. I don't like many of the policies I've heard about him, but I do like some of the important ones.

He came to my town (about 3 miles away from my house, as the crow flies), earlier today (being the 28th, in my head), and hired some Alaskan lady to likely become the first American female president. I was actually pretty happy to see her (Sarah Palin), she seems like she may be alright. I think it's likely a brilliant move for McCain, and it makes me, preliminarily, less reluctant to check his box (gross) come votin' day. Apparently, Palin is kinda hot and was a contender for Miss Alaska, which is funny. I thought the glasses made her look like a high class prostitute. She seems more conservative, in the fiscal sense, than McCain so that's good. There's not much experience there, but that's likely a good thing, assuming she can keep up. We'll see how it goes but I really say that McCain wastes Obama this election.

This may be the longest day ever created. Not that I'm not having a nice day, because I am, but I'm just having a hard time believing that it's still the 8th. The wifey had a baby today (what already seems like weeks ago). We've had a ton of great family come up and see the Bobby Brown-esque new addtion (yeah, repeated joke, but it's a decent one). The visits from last night, really feel like they were days ago, even though the wifey and new kid are still at the hospital, to which I'm about to return. Ok, gotta sign off before it turns into tomorrow...

Now, to catch up... I'm not sure where I left off, so I'll restart somewhere. I have a son named Oscar, he's kickass. I knocked up the wifey again and our second child is due just about any second now (uh, I've got golf in the morning...). My 55 year uncle, Mark, died a couple months ago, unexpectedly (we miss you loads Mark, I coulda asked you about a lot of neat stuff). I still wrestle squids for a living. And, there we have it, caught up! Let me know if I'm missing anything.

My birthday was yesterday (uh, 2 days ago I guess, 7-31) and the wifey made me a delightful, surprise dinner of chicken tacos and a Heath Bar angel food cake that was really tasty. 13 chicken tacos later and they're calling my name right now. Mmm, chicken tacos. Someday we'll get the recipe up here.
