Nothing like some big buns to satisfy a man.

I love 'My Name Is Earl'. Sweetest comedy programme ever. And perfect for my 13-year-old to learn about how to be a good person! Do you all watch it?

I got my boat trip! And was happy I waited for nice weather. And I went swimming in the Beagle Channel! They gave me a special suit, so I didn't get wet. But it was still a little cold.

Miss BA - you went swimming and didn't get wet? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? But they must be good suits that they gave you (to keep you dry)...

If I ever get around to posting a picture, then...I'll post a picture. I look like I am some kind of lagoon monster.

I had to think about this one...is the purpose of swimming to get wet?

And no, my suit did not have webbed fingers. I looked like a lagoon monster with discrete digits...

When your bird is broken, will it bring you down?
You may be awoken, I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round.

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
Uh I get high with a little help from my friends.

Oh Honey Pie,
You are making me crazy,
I'm in love but I'm lazy
So won't you please come home?

I want to be,
Under the sea
In an Octupus's Garden
IN the shade.

Which album do you prefer? Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, The White Album or Abbey Road?
Preacher was a talkin' there's a sermon he gave,
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved,
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied

The purpose would be for you to enjoy your swim. But wearing the suit and not getting wet, might defeat the purpose. Especially as proper swimming requires getting wet. However one can still enjoy fake swimming, there's nothing wrong with that... :)

I dislike putting my head under water as it takes an eternity for my hearing to come back and I hate the water up my nose. And with a nose the size of mine that's a lot of water!

My son more or less learned to swim this past week while we were on vacation. We're both psyched!

Yes, folks. That's Vez at his finest - wasting shitloads of time.

Here in Huntsville, it's a beautiful day. And on Friday I'll be driving my two 8th graders and their classmates to the Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery. Twelfth Night is the one we'll be seeing. It's been fun to sit down with the boys in the evenings and discuss it.
