Hi Mom

Kate's out of town for the week so I'm running the show. Olivia demanded a water bottle when we got home tonight so I felt I had to oblige since the poor kid misses her Mom so much. She's staring out the window because we were hit with a big thunderstorm when she sat down to eat. Yes, I'm yelling at the fat husky who likes to jump on counters for food.

On a side note, MTV stole my idea for a reality show. Check out "Exiled" on MTV and tell me the premise doesn't sound eerily similar to my idea for the Sweet 16 kids I posted on the blog in February of last year. My plan was to ship these brats to third world countries for a life of "indentured servitude". That's pretty much exactly what they're doing. I plan to float a trial balloon on a God awful idea to see if they bite. Maybe a reality show like "Who wants to work for Gary Glitter?"

Brilliant as usual.

The Beard

I recently resigned from a less than competent employer and have been living it up for the last 2.5 weeks. I've been researching Anthony Bourdain recipes, doing a lot of household chores, drinking absinthe at lunch (recently made legal in the states) and growing a beard. I hated it but for the sake of Kate and hilarity I decided to stick it out for longer than I anicipated. It reminded me of an old Kids in the Hall bit about a guy on vacation who grows a beard. I can't get the stupid video to embed so here's pictures of me:
