You're gonna eat lightning and you're gonna crap thunder...

Name the character who said that.........not the point. Things at the house are pretty busy these days. It's been nice enough outside that I've started taking on some part-time landscaping work, just for a little extra fun money. We are now full-time, round the clock babysitters. Our friends went to Italy for two weeks and we(Rach) agreed to watch their 2 year old daughter, Lena. She's a major sweetie and she tells me over and over again how funny I am, "Doe....Fhunny....Doe....FHunny....Djoe.......funny......" hey, a compliment's a compliment, even if the person it's coming from has a vocabulary of about a dozen words and a hundred incoherent burbling sounds. She also is having a good time playing with the new puppy in the house. We shuffled through a few names for him and finally settled on calling him Rocky. He seems to enjoy it, both Rachel's and my parents had dogs named Rocky so we named him in honor of the Rocky dogs of the past.

Here's a few pics of the pooch, feel free to "awwww....."
Also, did anyone happen to catch Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents Dinner? Holy Moly, President Bush really doesn't appear to enjoy Colbert's distinct brand of political humor. Check out the C-SPAN video coverage of it here, it's comedy gold (and twenty-four minutes long).
