Ok, so I haven't watched TV in 15 years. Nor gone to movies for about the same time. I still laughed my ass off at this. caprine, stop_no_dont, brotherkurt, daddyevil, skyroom80, jinglechelle, do not click on this link, no matter what you do:

Not much new to report. Our house has been visited by a plague of some sort; 9 days after first feeling it, I'm only somewhat back to normal. Sweetie is in the midst of it...

Took the boys to Meteor Crater and the Grand Canyon over their spring break; they were a bit young to really appreciate either of them, but hopefully they have a few memories to expand upon in later years. I suspect that the biggest landmark to come out of this trip is that I had to take care of the boys by myself for 48 hours, and nobody died.

K is busy trying to conquer the world, or at least her school. A few setbacks in the form of Stupid Boys, but I'm sure it's only a temporary glitch.

If everything goes well, sweetie and I will head out to SD this coming weekend. It's starting to be short notice, but hopefully we'll be able to have a good time.

And speaking of hope, I hope that everyone out there is surviving, thriving, and (pardon the expression) "being excellent to each other".

Hallelujah: "It's a cold and it's a broken 'Hallelujah'"

(For whatever reason, I've always remembered that line as "it's a cold and it's a lonely Hallelujah". Good luck making it through the current crisis; I've buried a brother and both grandmothers, but I've no idea what it'd be like to have to say goodbye to a parent.)
