Day 1

I should have let the Acetaminophen kick in before I started this, but since I didn't - I'll just press on and encourage the process with a beer.

There a many odd things that happen and occur in our lifetime's and over the years I have been told repeatedly that my family is not a group of people you meet. They are something that happens to you.

And, since I have been prompted of late to write a BLOG, in addition to the fact that I feel the 'emotional encouragement' as well, having just seen JULIA & JULIA. (We will see if I can maintain the discipline to keep this up, or if I tire of it.)

The last week has been a bit trying...everyone in the family has been under the weather in one way or another. However, a chuckle came a few days back when Ms. Z was sick and in the midst of this, she became rather...'gassy'. At one point she ripped out a good, lengthy fart then proceeded to walk around the kitchen. After moving and standing, moving and standing for about 30 seconds, she found herself on the other side of the kitchen. She looked at me with great surprise and said:
"Whew~! I just can't escape myself."

It snowed today and sure enough, Mr. A rode his bike in the driveway then played with his RC trucks in the snow. Ms Z saw this and the two of them slid on their little saucer-sleds down the snow-banks on the side of the driveway until dinner time.

...and now I think its a good time to close day one...
