Anderson: "more happier than normal". Ugh.Sometimes life gets busy. For example, I have a gift for a friend who had her 2nd child. Still sitting here ... not enough time to run to the post office. Just had the second part of the gift shipped to her so I have to get my butt to the post office. Part of this was caused by an incapacitating back injury. Nothing quite like lurching over at a 30 degree angle to give you a view of what life will be like 50 years from now. Funny ... I never had injuries like this when I was 20.
Some other updates. Most importantly, Anderson just had ear tubes placed today after having 4 unsuccessful courses of antibiotics. I guess our kid is defective. Surprisingly we weren't that worried about the surgery. I guess you feel that way when your kid is defective ... or because it seemed trivial compared to a circumcision. At least we had good evidence to justify the ear surgery. But it was his first experience with anesthesia, which he tolerated well. After crying for about 2 hours non-stop, he took a nap and was back to the typical smiling Anderson. I suppose life will be a lot different now that he can hear us.
Importantly for all of our friends, we finally got a new bed. This means little of itself ... except we now have a guest bed and people don't have to sleep on the hide-a-bed or the futon. We welcome everyone ... especially if you want to babysit Anderson.
Finally, I did receive an email wondering why I hadn't commented on the arrest of Dawn Wells. Sure ... you may be wondering who the hell Dawn Wells is, but I'm guessing you remember her by another name.
Why was Mary Ann busted? Marijuana and driving under the influence. I certainly hope the judge is lenient, as she did spend 3 years on a deserted island playing second fiddle to Ginger (Tina Louise). Surprisingly, Mary Ann is a former Miss Nevada. Not surprisingly, Ms. Wells website has links to just about every Gilligan's cast member except Tina Louise. Probably still thinks of her as a prima donna prostitute. On the bright side, at least Ms. Wells didn't have her butt fuse to a toilet seat like this lady:
