A Brewers Game with Yaya and Faith circa 2003-04

Faith S  remember this? I'm sure Yaya i was too young to recall it now.

Baby LuLu

The Bickersons

If you have the chance, listen to the old radio show The Bickerson's. LOL funny. Here's a typical exchange. 

B: You used to be so considerate. Since you got married to me you haven't got any sympathy at all.

J: I have, too. I've got everybody's sympathy.

B: Believe me, there's better fish in the ocean than the one I caught.

J: There's better bait, too.

B: I don't see how you can go to bed without kissing me good night.

J: I can do it.

B: You'd better say you're sorry for that, John.

J: Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

B: You are not.

J: I am too. I'm the sorriest man that was ever born.

B: Is there any milk for breakfast?

J: No.

B: Then you'll have to eat out.

J: I don't care, I've been doing it all week.

B: What for? I left you enough food for six days. I cooked a whole bathtub full of rice. What happened to it?

J: I took a bath in it.

B: Why didn't you eat it?

J: I've told you a million times I can't stand the sight of rice.

B: Why not?

J: Because it's connected to the saddest mistake of my life.

B: You stopped loving me the day we were married.

J: That wasn't the day at all.

Supper

I made dinner tonight.

The Rebuilt Stairs

Our newly rebuilt and painted stairs and railing.  Now to repaint the porch.

2nd Dream of the NIght

2nd dream: I was driving to work but first taking LuLu to my Mom's place when I made a wrong turn. Frustrated with being late I backed out of a spot at Burger King and scraped the whole side of her car, then got pulled over by the police. Apparently I was under arrest for the property damage but suddenly Lisa was there but she wasn't Lisa but Jennifer Gardner, who convinced the cops I was a recovering alcoholic and suffering from concussion syndrome "he's the 15th victim" (of who/what she didn't say.) 

Then I was at the funeral for Angela from The Office, who was displayed in her coffin. Her corpse began chanting "I'm meat meat meat eat me I'm meat" so Kevin from the show took a slice of her belly and dug in.

Join Me

Enough

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for Stormy Daniels,  claims to have proof Kavannaugh ran a group rape ring while a judge. 

I can fathom a teenage Kavannaugh groping a girl at a party.  I can acknowledge that it's possible he whipped out his penis at a college kegger.  I don't believe it, but it's conceivable. 

You will NEVER convince me that he orchestrated a gang rape club while a sitting Federal judge that passed 6 FBI clearance investigations.  A child can see through these lies.  It's time the GOP grew a backbone,  called a vote,  and told the Democrats to pound sand.

Where's my Unicycle?

I've spent about 10 minutes of my life on a skateboard, and that was long ago as a teenager with Jon Z. None-the-less, I had a very vivid dream last night that I was skateboarding around town and misplaced my board. I woke up very upset . 

"Where's my skateboard?" I asked Lisa. 

She laughed. "I don't know. Where's my unicycle?"

HaHa. A liberal AND a comedian. "Lucky" me.

A Note on my Lunch

When the wife packs your lunch. :)

Lizzie

Lisa and I went to see "Lizzie" this afternoon.  Unfortunately,  for a movie about some of the most famous murders in American history,  it was a slow character study that lacked dramatic tension.  You do, however, get to see Chloe Sevigny and Kristen Stewart naked,  which I did not find  objectionable.

On Kavanaugh

Assume,  for intellectual purposes, that Kavanaugh is completely innocent, and the accusation merely a  weaponization of the public's [rightful]  opposition to sexual assault.  How do you successfully defend yourself? By saying you're innocent? By trying to prove a negative? By somehow magically determining you were somewhere else (impossible, since neither time nor place nor even year is remembered by your accuser)? 

If there is no opportunity for defense, there is no adversarial process. 

If there is no adversarial process there can be no justice, and it's nothing more than a circus where most of the "jury" - the Democrats on the panel - have already rendered their verdict in the press. 

 It's wrong.  And if you don't think so, so are you.

If Only

Makes You Wonder

Since cellphones became common and everyone has a camera at the ready,  the number of UFO sightings has mysteriously plummeted.  It's almost as if it was all the work of kooks and frauds in years past.  Huh. Imagine  that.

Words of Encouragement

The older Gas Station attendant I see almost everyday applauded me for sticking with law school.  Apparently he was a lawyer in Pakistan, specializing in intentional business, and tried the part-time program I'm in at Marquette, but could not balance the trio of work,  school, and family and dropped out.  He said he's too old to try now,  but he's pulling for me.

Like dude, what?

For giggles, I carefully tallied the number of times my classmates said "like" and "dude" when answering questions in a 3L law seminar.  The record? 11 "likes" and 2 "dudes" in a single 48 second reply.  Oh,  and one shout-out to Beyonce. Remember,  this time next year we're the people that stand between you and the klink. Be afraid. 

Right Twix or Nothing!

Because I'll be damned if I buy any of that liberal "Left" #Twix crud.

A Productive Day

Saturday my nephew Jonah and I rebuilt my front steps and I worked.  Sunday I visited my folks,  then we had a family dinner and played cards with the exchange student.  Monday I walked the kids to school, installed the porch railing with Eric, won my fantasy matchup to go 2-0, fought with my two teenage girls, and went for another walk with my two youngest.  Busy trio of days.

Congrats to Yeli!

Today Brewer Christian Yelich became only the 3rd player since 1900 (and 5th overall) to hit for the cycle twice in one season. 

The Best? I think not!

See what happens when you don't vote?

Just. Stop.

Weep for our culture. 

A Thief in the Park

YaYa: It may seem unimportant, but to whoever stole my sister’s Barbie doll from Humboldt Park, you suck. She brings her dolls everywhere to take pictures and today a girl stole one of them at the park. When asked about it she promptly stuffed it in her parents car, got in, and then the family left. This isn’t the first time that our things have gotten stolen from Humboldt. Although I doubt this situation is of much importance to anyone, just a reminder to *try* to be a decent person. Teach your kids not to steal. This was a $20+ doll, one that my sister loves and adores. If you see this, and your kid has magically acquired a new doll, there is a $10 reward.

For reference: it’s the one on the far right. 

This the girl, photobombing a picture that my sister had taken.
