Random Stuff

     I don't really have one specific subject to discuss this week so I am just going to spitfire a few random topics that I want to share with you lovely people.

1. This is a quick video of my son doing his darnedest to stay up. 

Awwwwwwwwww.
2. For some odd reason my son likes to talk back to me only when I do a super creepy low voice. 
3. I thought I would share with you how a real man (a.k.a. me) fixes a door. 
     Let me explain. The doorknob-from-hell has been notorious for locking us out of our bedroom.  Unlike my usual calm and patient self, I  took a mallet and crowbar to the knob and showed it what for. See, some simple finagling with that screwdriver and the door opens like new.  Use it as a simple doorknob or pull out the screwdriver for instant use for driving screws...or stabbing intruders. I call it the screw-knob. Patent pending.

4. Last week I started work on my first children's book.  The script is written and I think I have an illustrator lined up, so the gears are in motion. Very exciting.  
     The idea stemmed from reading children's books to my son before bed. I would finish a book and think to myself, "This sub-par dribble got published? I could do better than that!"  Here are a few of those stupid books I speak of:
 TMI little guy. TMI.  Also, this is just a guess, but you are probably scared to poop because there IS A FREAKIN' DINOSAUR RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!
 "One Nation Indivisible," indeed.
 Be sure to check out the critically acclaimed sequel, "Who Cares About Elderly People?"
I learned that Pooh Sticks are really easy to make.
In response, the father wrote a book titled "I wish you would KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT WHILE I AM WATCHING THE BIG GAME!"
Using "Spooky Ghost Font" might not have been the wisest choice. Also, there is a dead bird.
      
     I will have more details on the development of my book in the near future.

5. Happy Valentine's Day!
