update: this just in from theyoyoman:
apparently i went pro on a fellow xangan’s wii. this is his mii which is me: in other related news, hogan’s wife sent him this a couple of days ago, and he in turn sent it to me: in this last rendering, my favorite bit is the mild stash, as this is incredibly accurate; owing to my lack of vigilant shaving habits. i.e.: what is up with my upper lip in my may 30 post? update: this just in from theyoyoman: i blow me away.
i trust today you are doing something patriotic, like having a picnic, barbequing, eating watermelon, hanging your flag on your front porch, going to the mall. yesterday, toni and i were sitting at ryan’s steakhouse (there is so, so much to be said about this, but i’ll keep it brief — toni loves her some ryan’s. to sum up my feelings, i’ll quote a friend – any restaurant that has skittles next to the mashed potatoes is suspect, to say the least. toni enjoys the ranch dressing particularly. i’ll admit, i do too. it is very similar to most other ranch dressings except it has much supplementary water. this, in our opinion, is a good thing. so, we’re sitting there, eating iceberg lettuce that is swimming in watered-down ranch dressing, when toni asks, “when we were growing up, why do you suppose all the adults put salt on their watermelon?” i hadn’t thought of this in years – salt on watermelon. there happened to be a couple of slices sitting there in front of us, complements of the salad bar, so i picked one up, grabbed the salt shaker, shook it a couple of times, watched the salt hit the melon and dissolve and spread immediately, then took a bite. the whole of my summer childhood came back in a mouthful of melon. it was a mouthful of the 4th. i have no idea why my parents and grandparents salted their melon, but i was really happy i lived in this magical land of crazy salad bars and salt shakers on every table.
have a happy fourth of july and a large thank you to all the troops serving our country. |
