4th annual tentropolis with jiff - check
1st home for my ash 'n yo pauly - check
[holy shitballs - talk about a proud papa]
4th pea back in ontariariario - check
25th bday for my little peach - check

2nd annual camping "where eagles dare"
and the big 5-oh
are still pending

being with my family and friend
[glaring nonplural alert][wince smirk]
does hermit berns heart well

i neglected to mention 1 fall fascination

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL







































my reign of terror was unceremoniously dispatched
last playoffs by the steelers
[this year i shall not under estimate
the power of the "terrible towel"]
previous to that:
tied for 12th (outa 254) for the '08 season
and #1 (numero uno) for the '07 season playoffs

berns off to a good start this year
as the aforementioned steelers
put one thru the uprights in OT for the dub-ya
over their rival titans
[stomp on this fuckers]

anyhoo
the game is afoot


















let the cursing and triumphant YESes begin

anyhoo (#2)
back to my ash
its a no-brainer being proud of yer kid for such things as:
1st smile
1st words..."ohhh, father" (by my recollection)









1st time she falls thru a chair and breaks her collar bone
1st day in kindergarden

but being proud of yer kid for making adult choices
and living her own life
is 10 TIMES (ww ash) more rewarding













furthermore, watching my ash be in love with her paul
is a dream come true
and something i cant even begin to articulate























in summary

yeah ash 'n paul
camping ...good
peas in pod ...good
the big 5-oh eh
and
im jumpin back on the favre wagon ...GO VIKINGS

and thats all i have to say about that [and this]
