Tired of Seeing that Tom Cruise Photo!

I will now offer random comments and observations.

This is one of Joseph's photos. He gets as snappity as paparazzi in his picture madness. This one is called 'Night Night.'
Q: Does every culture have its own spicy ingredient of origin?

Mexico has habaneros and jalapenos. Asian nations have their curries. We've got our chili peppers. Also paprika, cayenne...

The hottest chili in the world might be the Naga Jolokia from Bangladesh. Are there any spicy peppers or ingredients that originated in places like Europe, Russia, or Australia?

Q: WHY is it that when you are in a line of cars at a stoplight, that each car waits for the one ahead to start driving before they even think, okay, maybe I'll move now?

Can't all the cars just start moving at once when the light turns green? I don't wait for the car in front of me to move ten feet, I go in unison with its movement. Why don't others?

I am going to stop making homemade pumpkin pie as long as Costco is around. (Tell me if you know what I'm talkin' bout!)

Jakey looks like he is an abused child. He is not. He will no longer allow himself to be held or restrained in any way. Yesterday he decided to walk down the three steps into our family room. He totally biffed it, but got up and went off to find something to explore/tear apart.

Last Friday we went to the zoo (with Jack 'n' Joyce) and Jakey tried to run around on the uneven pavement and did a face plant. The rest of the time, George was holding on to the hood of Jake's coat just to keep him safe. We need a leash.

Q: Is there any harm to eating only pumpkin pie for a couple days straight?

Q: I keep hearing about some big domestic trouble/terrorism coming soon. Anyone know about this?

Hey, I've been waiting for you to update your blog. Yes, I was VERY tired of seeing the Tom Cruise picture, and I love hearing about your two beautiful boys. And I understand about the looking like an abused child thing. I was sure that some doctor was going to turn me in for beating Scott because he was constantly battered and bruised looking. I mean, I sometimes felt like giving him a true working over when I was totally exasperated with his curiosity and daring. I thought once he became a teenager he would become mild, meek, and totally obedient, right????? But I love him anyway! But he really looked tough a lot of the time as a toddler.

Yeah, like when he had that bee sting on his eye!

Sorry, not a fan of the Costco pumpkin pie--not enough flavor and the crust tastes bitter. But Brick Oven's pumpkin pie is delicious. Seriously.

And why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

I don't doubt that there are those who would like to replicate here the attacks that took place in Mumbai, but they'd have to do it in NYC or some other place that has eviscerated the 2nd amendment.

I think Joseph will make a fine photographer one day. He recently started to compose his shots, rather than shoot in a random manner. It was fun watching him place things just so before he aimed the camera in their direction. Once I get my Nikon I'll probably just hand over my old camera to him. Just wait until he learns Photoshop!

Mom, so you're saying I've got a boy who will always be a daredevil? At least despite Scott's juvenile delinquency, he was daring enough to make a dang good living and pretty much get the life he wants. So it's a curse/blessing.

Andy, good question, let me know what you find out! But don't let this cause insomnia.

Old Man C, yeah, he's already got the 'temperament' of an artist, wanting to do it himself and get it perfect! Maybe in between he can do his actor thang.

Yes, except for France, which conceded its ingredient to Germany.

Q: WHY is it that when you are in a line of cars at a stoplight, that each car waits for the one ahead to start driving before they even think, okay, maybe I'll move now?

Because it is possible that the car in front of you will stop quickly, and it is foolish not to maintain a buffer zone between you and the car ahead of you.

>I am going to stop making homemade pumpkin pie as long as Costco is around. (Tell me if you know what I'm talkin' bout!)

I don't think I've ever had Costco pumpkin pie, so I don't know about it, but if the flavor isn't strong, I won't like it.

>did a face plant.

A smashed up face will make him look tough, and the other kids will leave him alone.

Q: Is there any harm to eating only pumpkin pie for a couple days straight?

Not if you don't mind ending up in the emergency room, or at the very least driving the porcelain bus at 2:00 in the morning.

Q: I keep hearing about some big domestic trouble/terrorism coming soon. Anyone know about this?

It's called "Obamageddon." With that thug in the White House, we don't need jihadists to destroy us.

Infidel, your comments are enlightening and witty.
