Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

I always wondered what my place is to celebrate my parents anniversary. I can’t say that I remember sending gifts or cards all that much…I remember once we were on vacation and I was sitting in the backseat saying “Hey, isn’t today your wedding anniversary?” and they both kind of looked at each other and realized that sometimes vacations allow you to lose track of what day it is (as all vacations should do!). In hindsight, I should have tipped off Dad and he would have impressed Mom with something. Ha ha. Anyhow, the least I can do is send out a warm congrats via the web.

Anyhow, what can I say about my parents? I must admit that they are probably the coolest ones out there, and I’m not saying this because they are my parents. I have many friends who also claim that this statement is true. You’ve always been good to Maureen and I, and to each other, and to everyone who enters your home. I can only assume that when children grow older and start their own families, they look upon their parents to see what they would change in terms of parenting. I’m happy to say that I want to be exactly like the two of you, no changes needed!

Happy Anniversary to the both of you and I hope you didn’t forget it (and if you both did, I hope Dad reads this first so he can rush out and get Mom something.)

New In Office: SPUDTROOPER!

All Hail the Spudtrooper!

To join the ranks of Darth Tater in my office, I stumbled upon this gem at the grocery store for $10. Sweet! It even has its own masher of a weapon!

I was telling Jennie that if I wanted to show off that I’m a true geek, then I would be getting legitimate statues of the sorts and putting them on display at work…but the Mr. Potato Head series is just a fun item that hides my true geekdom.

This reminds me of how Vero’s family dropped by my place to check it out and her dad made some comments on my Matrix and Star Wars figures on top of my book shelf. 10 years ago, I would have been quite embarassed, but now, I thrive on these comments as Vero herself contributed to the collection.
