Now It Can Be Told
My brother decided to surprise the United States of America by visiting from England, only he accidentally told some people, who told other people, who posted it on a website, and then someone in the CIA probably leaked it, so that by last Tuesday only my wife and Beth didn't know.
But I'm pleased as Hawaiian Punch that Uncle Tim has met his nephew and my wife has some company until I get home.
YET BEWARE THE EVIL-HAND-PUPPET HUNTER
It has been snowing east of the Rockies since September 3rd, it seems. My wife, with her hands full, has not been able to throw snowballs for the dogs, so huzzah for Uncle Tim. Only no one told him about the dangers of putting on gloves and wiggling fingers in a taunting manner at Bailey, who knows that anything put on the hands is a monster that must be attacked.
I'm told the bleeding stopped after a few minutes.
HELLO, MY NAME IS...
It was bad enough that we had two Dans in the family, but now that I'm a father, I'm a dad, Dad's a dad, my wife's dad is a dad, and don't get me started on how my wife labels Christmas presents. I kept giving her father presents meant for me because they were labeled "Daddy", not knowing they were gifts from the dogs.
My wife told me a story a few weeks ago that her parents were in town, and everyone was hanging out in the front room, dogs snoozing on the floor, and a lull in the conversation had everything peaceful and quiet.
She spoke up all of a sudden to her father: "So, Daddy..."
The dogs all jumped up and looked out the window.
