This is a poem Smiley wrote and included in a Valentine's Day card:

"Roses are red, bees make honey, give me a kiss and I'll give you all my money!"

Sounds like he's ready for marriage already.

WTH

 In other news, at around 3:45 we were driving down Oklahoma Ave when a postal vehicle refused to let Lisa change lanes for nearly a block, speeding up and slowing down to keep alongside us. This fine Federal employee then flipped us the bird and soared through a yellow light. My tax money at work. Postal Vehicle # 1260902

A School Dance and "You're Next"

Lisa and the three youngest are at a school dance for grades K-5, while YaYa and I are home watching the great horror film "You're Next" (my second viewing). From what Lisa just texted, the kids just danced the heck out of "What Does the Fox Say?"

A prolific songwriter, his best-known songs include "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" (with additional lyrics by Joe Hickerson), "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" (with Lee Hays of the Weavers), "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" (also with Hays), and "Turn! Turn!

Captain and Tennille are getting a divorce

 I'm sad that the Captain and Tennille are getting a divorce after 39 years. I remember them from my early childhood, and it just feels wrong. I know the Captain is suffering from a Parkinson's-like disease, and I wonder if the divorce is a financial move to fund his care.

Anyone have any auto correct stories?  I challenge you to top this one! - Lisa

Update

Update on LuLu's foot: she went back to have it X-Ray'd today, after her 'sprain' continued to cause her pain after more than three weeks. It turns out that it was BROKEN all along, and the ER doctor was just an ass. So tomorrow we have to call for an app't with the ortho.
