Kathryn. Real.

If I owe you a phone call or email I am sorry.  One or the other of us has been fighting a yucky bug here for over a week now.  My turn came yesterday.  God help me tomorrow when I’m on kid duty.

I shall return.  Maybe even with some semblance of a real post.  For now, I leave you with this:

Ellis and I are at the store getting him some new clothes (he’s outgrown all his 2t stuff).  We have both Speed Racer and Batman PJ’s in the basket and I tell him he must choose one.  He says…

E: Speed Racer.

Me: Are you sure?  The Batman ones have a cape and everything!

E: Yeah.  Speed Racer is much cooler than Batman.

By the way, he’s not allowed to watch either one of those so I have no idea how he’s drawn this conclusion.  He’s currently obsessed with all things Super Hero.  Spiderman most of all.  I don’t know how he even knows who Spiderman is.  More on this subject to come I’m sure…

Actually, CNN’s coverage of just about anything in the southern regions of the US.  CNN=Condescending NuNu’s.

Much of my family lives in Houston/Galveston.  If you have a moment send some protective thoughts their way.  Even if they get out alright they face losing everything.  GO AWAY IKE!

We’re at lunch with a friend and V says:

V: You have some cool eyes Ellis.  Where did you get those?  At the store?

E: Noooooooo (laughing).  (suddenly serious) In fact, they’re attached to my body.

And there you have it.  My son is 2 going on 27-and-working-on-his-doctorate.
