It's all amusing... where friends, family and visitors get up-to-date news, information and comments from Padre, Sidetrack, Beaner, Peanut, Chalupa and Big Dawg. Go F*U*N or go home!

Not Much of a Prom
Ike, like many HS Seniors, got gipped out of stupid/memorable Senior activities and events. He missed two homecomings and at least one prom., but not this year. West High opened up the Football field for a social gathering that was an informal prom. Students did not take it too seriously, but intended to make it fun. So here we see, Big Dawg in his prom attire.

A Tree Blooms in Bertram
Spring is always welcomed in the upper Midwest. The long winters make this seasonal change so inviting. Sadly, an Iowa Spring is also a very unpredictable season with mercurial temps and weather - 70 degrees one day, sleet, and frost warnings the following day.
As the days grow longer, the sunlight is welcomed, but deceptive. More than once we'll blast out the front door anticipating a comfortable stroll to the mailbox, only to be greeted with the bone chilling reality that we left our winter coats in the closet. The price of optimistic thinking, I suppose.
These are not like the lovely waves of Spring I remember from my days in the Carolinas with Azaleas, Box Woods, and Redbuds in a cacophony of warmth and color.
But in the very least, gone are the mounts of snow to be replace by a blooming pear tree, an albeit brief harbinger for the scorching summer ahead. I'll take it this in all it's glory, and await the arrival of the Orioles, Blue Birds, and Grosbeaks.

Comma Day!!!
Well, I gotta say a tiny punctuation mark isn't quite as rewarding until it sits between a 1 and three 0s. Last Saturday I got to insert that comma where it has been earned.
1,000 Consecutive Days - Running at least two miles!
