My Dad Reads This Blog

Dad Boy Scout

And he told @aaronh that he likes it, so here is one of my favorite pictures of him.

It should also be said that I have been totally pushed aside in tech support capacity for @aaronh. Sure, he’s better at it than I am, but still. Actually, I quite like not being lead geek in the family. Frees up my hands for eating ice cream while they troubleshoot. I can’t be expected to manage a chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bar AND the phone AND my laptop at the same time. That’s just madness.

Also, this gives me plenty of time to try costumes on the cats. I bought two, a chicken costume and a court jester hat. They were minimally successful, but if you want to see what happens when cat really LIKES wearing one of those get ups, check out @tinyernesto here. He’s a bit of an oddball, from his six fingered paws to his enormous skunk-like tail. Reports are in that he was actually PURRING during this exercise.

The cats are just going to have to suck it up and wear their costumes tomorrow. It is no different than forcing the kids into school uniforms, right? I mean, how many days have I been punished for making Small put on a “button shirt” for school. They have to be team players for Halloween, even if we have to force them. Okay, that’s not true. Never force anyone into anything when their recourse is to pee all over your house. That’s a good rule to live by.

Also, hairballs. Nuff said.
