That's not what CNN says, Kibby! Venezuela's looking pretty good right about now, though.

Anyway, good morning campers. Today it could be close to the record high of 85 degrees here, with low 70s tomorrow and 60 by Wednesday. And the spring pollen is ready to explode.
We'll be showing our friends from Texas around the city today. Then tomorrow we have to start getting ready for the trip.
And how are you all doing?
So sly, who won the Sweet Adelines contest?

85 degrees today? that's awesome! :D
I went to a wedding yesterday, of one of my dorm-mates. Well, now former dorm-mate, as she and her new hubby have moved into married student housing. She was radiant, of course. It was just a lovely wedding.
On Saturday I spent most of the day in the city with Wurm and his girlfriend and some of his friends in the area. We went to the Met and then Macbeth done by marionettes (it was odd, but worked), and then dinner. It was a good time.
It was a good weekend.
and....Welcome back, Fed! Missed you.

Excitement of the weekend: Two visits to the dog park with lots of humping
Posted by: Mad Scientist Weasel | April 23, 2007 at 02:39 PM
Was that at the park or when you got home, Mad?
Posted by: Kaffy In Disguise (With Glasses) | April 23, 2007 at 03:11 PM
Jeez,
I go to D.C. for the weekend and the long-lost Federal Duck shows up? How've ya been! Great story by the way. I'd have done the same thing.
The wedding was fantastic and I don't mind saying that I gave a fantastic Best Man toast. Especially considering I wrote it in a notebook while sitting on the curb outside of the Holiday Inn, smoking a cigarette, and barefoot about two hours before the wedding. I was going to really go after my brother, but since her family is extremely Catholic and conservative, I decided to just go with a short and sweet, really nice toast of the couple.
Also, after all my stressing about my classes ending this past weekend, I went online and with the grades posted for two of my three classes....they're both 'A's!
DDi,
I'm hoping that someone will send me some pictures from the wedding that I can send to you. All the pictures I took were of CMB.

Gahhhh!!!
I had to take my mother to the eye doctor this morning...which is not the entire point of this...but I'll get to the point.
(She has apparently had a leaking blood vessel in one eye. The eye doctor was an hour from Cheraw...so I took her. They did surgery on her eye today, so clearly she couldn't have driven home after.)
Anyway.
I had a book with me to read, in the event that the surgery was done today.
So I was thus there for a loooooooong time, and in fact pretty much finished the book (which I had read before several times.)
The book...Dave Barry Is From Mars And Venus.
No big deal. Good book, but no big deal.
Then I get in to work and start reading the column from Sunday online, previously published July 31, 1994. Huh, I said to myself. This sounds very familiar.
Well, I get out the book. And what do I see on page 258 of the paperback copy of the book?
A very familiar column.

(The trip to golf central, NC was, also, the reason I have no playlist from the All Request Lunch Hour today, there being no All Request Lunch Hour.)
(I was in the Pinehurst area...home to many many many golf courses.)
From an earlier post that vanished...
Fed! Don't be such a stranger!
Leetie...yes, the Blenheim's is gooooood. I need to get some more.

Humpin' at the Dawg Park sounds like the name for... well, something.
Posted by: neophyte | April 23, 2007 at 05:29 PM
Humping at the dog park led me to wonder just how Mad spent the weekend...
Posted by: Susan | April 23, 2007 at 08:34 PM
Humping at the dog park makes me think Mad would have better spent her time leaving her pants on (nolongerLab's) Lawn.
Unless the humping came after the park. In which case: Carry On.
Posted by: Crash | April 24, 2007 at 12:50 AM
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!
I'm sorry. Never mind. Forget I said that. Stress release. I feel better now.
Brian.. you have to post some of those photos online. I know a blog where you could post them. *insert innocent look here*
Tomorrow is ANZAC Day, which is a public holiday. I probably won't get a sleep in, but I will have a lazy morning. That will be nice.
Posted by: Kaffy In Disguise (With Glasses) | April 24, 2007 at 02:09 AM
Hi all. Yesterday set a new record here, of 86 degrees.
We met our friends at their hotel (42nd St., near Grand Central) and took them all over midtown and lower Manhattan, ending at Ground Zero and St. Paul's Chapel, across from the site.
We even got into the Flatiron Building for the first time, as Bill went up to say hello to his editor, the famous (in the mystery field) Ruth Cavin.
Good day.
Humpin' at the Dawg Park would be a good song to the tune of "Smokin' in the Boys' Room" - which maybe Susan can play today? We can sing along using the other title if we so wish.

Happy ANZAC Day, all... I'm supposed to be asleep. I will be soon. But I don't have to be up in the wee small hours, so that helps!

Well I been humpin' in a dog park
Goin' down down

Happy ANZAC Day, Kaf.

*snork* @ Leetie!
For the record the humpin was by the dogs with other dogs at the dog part and it was so bad on Sat. there were a lot of fights breaking out so that we didn't stay long thus we went back on Sunday.
Ok I heard this joke on the radio this morning by D. L. Hughely. I apologize in advance if it offends anyone, but I found it funny. He was talking in reference to the Imus thing at what words were acceptable. His comment was that sometimes the word Ho is appropriate. He said:
If a woman has 5 men claiming to be the father of her baby and she has had more nuts in her than a snickers bar then she is a ho.

Hey.. has anyone seen Eleanor around these parts in the last week? I've seen her elsewhere.. but *peers into the bushes*

Hmm... you shouldn't go away so often, Kibby.
Posted by: Kaffy In Disguise (With Glasses) | April 25, 2007 at 06:50 AM
Just popped in to say we'll be gone for the next week. Weather permitting (down there it's stormy) we'll be off to New Orleans this afternoon for this weekend's Jazz & Heritage Festival and will be back next Tuesday. Have a good week, all.
I may check in a time or two before we leave.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 25, 2007 at 07:27 AM
kibby's friend had a baby boy over the weekend and we partied a little too much...
Posted by: kbiby F5™ | April 25, 2007 at 08:16 AM
No such thing as too much partying, kibby.
Just sayin'...
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 25, 2007 at 08:18 AM
Well there is...
But that doesn't make it any less awesome and/or acceptable!
Posted by: Crash | April 25, 2007 at 09:31 AM
Who has a Singer 6136 sewing machine or its manual? Kibby needs a replacement part!
ANY responses welcome, even Labs...
Posted by: kbiby F5™ | April 25, 2007 at 09:52 AM
kibby found his Singer part. It's the Tensioner, # 353583456 that puts tension on the thread before it gets to the needle. It'll cost about $50s.

In other news, Santa Claus has been suspended without pay as the authorities look into allegations that he used the "ho" word three times. Many victims have been stepping forward, stating that he has made similar remarks dating back many years.
Posted by: Leetie | April 25, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Wow, 10 posts for today and it's already 1/2 over. Seems like we're back to pre-2005 rates.

Hum, that Industrial-size MOATarita Mixer that Graz donated is looking quite inexpensive now!

I don't blame Santa.
She was a Ho.

Ok, here's a strange (even for Prague) thought. Aubergine Cult?
Posted by: kibby F5™ | April 26, 2007 at 12:05 PM
Aubergine by any other name....
... is still an Egg Plant!
Posted by: kibby F5™ | April 26, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Hmmm... aubergine cults... could be pretty tasty. Then again, would eating cult members, or even worse, the object of their worship, could be really bad cosmic energy. It could come back and bite you in the ass.
Do you feel the need for a Moat move, Kibby? We've not been here that long, and it's still loading pretty quickly for me. If it's a problem for you (or anyone else) we can move anyday.
It is my last day at this job. I'm really going to miss this family, but "to everything there is a time and a season" and all that. Also, I have something new to look forward to! To top it all off, we're going out to lunch today for my final day, and I got a text message last night that said "wear something a bit nicer for lunchtime." That's always a good thing, huh?

Hmmm. Perhaps I should keep the pants on to ride bike.
Posted by: Susan | April 27, 2007 at 11:09 AM
Maybe it's something to do with the "Passage of Spring" that's gotten everyone off busy?
Kibby's dog-sitting a couple boxers this weekend so he's going to be out in the country. SHOULD be nice weather (mid to high 70s) and he'll be running over to the boat getting it ready for the season. Yea, MORE boat work!
Posted by: kibby F5™ | April 27, 2007 at 11:17 AM
Bah.
I LOVED Hott Fuzz.
Hi-larious. Also, Timothy Dalton.
Posted by: Crash | April 27, 2007 at 12:19 PM
I haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet...maybe one day.
I did see Meet the Robinsons last weekend. Not the most fabulous movie ever, but I splurged and got the 3D glasses. Nothing major flying off the screen, but it was pretty cool.
Plus, there was a Disney cartoon at the beginning in 3D, that had never been shown theatrically, in 3D. I don't really like Donald Duck...but I enjoyed it anyway.
Posted by: Susan | April 27, 2007 at 12:33 PM
Kibby-not sure anyone understands. Just the circle of life or something. Have fun with the boat and the dogs!
Posted by: Mad Scientist Weasel | April 27, 2007 at 12:41 PM
hot fuzz has-is-and always will be my very mostest

I think some have abandoned the Moat for the ReMoat. I wish they'd come back. Maybe if there was more alcohol.
