Ode to Cait

Our youngest girl has a great list of friends. Among these are her roomate and ride or die, Cait, who has an upcoming birthday. Cait is a terrific young lady, and hails from Gods country of Hawkinsville, Georgia. Cait is hilarious, and her antics keep us in stitches. She is close with her family, in particular her Grandmother. Anyone who is close with their Grandmother is ok by me. She is also a triplet! I have never met her sisters or any of the rest of her family, but Cait is a credit to all of them. Everyone needs a friend like Cait. Cait writes poems for her friends for their birthday or other significant events, an indicator of her being a special friend to many as well as a testament to her humor and creativity.  On the occasion of her birthday, I have sent her this---we hope she has a great Birthday!



 Kate. Kait. Cait. 

Cait is great. Her name is Irish— which means ‘pure’—and she’s a pure delight, that’s for sure! Her name is telling, regardless of spelling, it doesn’t matter if you’re buying or selling. 

 

Effervescent in every way, she always seems to brighten one’s day.

 

Cait. Cate. Kate. 

Cait is great. She’s almost 28.

 

A smart, funny, and pretty young lass,

If you diss her, she will kick your ass.

 

Cait. Kate. Cate. 

If you wear a frown, Cait will turn it upside down-She makes you feel great whenever she’s around. She will even take you out on the town. A force of nature, no matter the occasion, even on her many vacations.  

 

She’ll still be great when she turns 28-but now she’s in heaven cause she’s just 27.

 

At 27 you can still have sleepovers—Hell, you’re a decade younger than my loafers. 

 

She’s a great friend to Lyndsay, which will drive you to the edge—but Cait’s always there —to talk her off the ledge. 

And you know she’s

A triplet, with two other sisters, J and L—all three are great— but there’s only one Cait. 

 

Happy Birthday to the one and only Cait!

 

(She’s great. And she’s almost 28).

I Know about Birthing Babies…

Our Son Joe, along with his  best girl Johnna, are about to become Parents for the first time. “Any day now”, as the saying goes. Actually the due date is today, the 9th of October. Looks like the baby (a girl to be named hopefully before she begins grade school) will overshoot this due date by a few days, but we don’t know since BabygirlFish hasn’t let anyone know yet. Regardless, I found it incumbent upon me, based on lessons gleaned from  my three previous tax deductions (nobody ever told me what to do or how to act during the birthing of babies); to wit—I felt obliged to provide the following advice at no charge: 1. Keep your mouth shut unless you are specifically requested to help/assist by Johnna. Do not speak unless spoken to. Eyes, ears are open and mouth remains closed. Sneezing coughing, loud breathing, humming or the emission of any sounds to include clearing of throat should be performed only in case of in emergency. Compliance is key!  2.   It is normal ...

The Colon: Not just for Punctuation

I have thought long and hard about even posting anything. It is a most personal subject, so I will attempt to not get into the bowels of the subject. Here's the thing for us over 50 crowd and if you visit a doctor on a yearly basis. We have all been there. You are scheduled for a procedure. When a medical professional uses the word 'procedure' our instincts tell us to run like hell. Like an automobile, however, tis better to have regular scheduled maintenance than to wait until something breaks, falls off, or explodes. The 'procedure'  to which I refer takes place below the waist. It requires shoving 60 feet of garden hose into a 5 foot space, an area which is normally an exit. There is also a procedure where basically the same thing is done from above the waist, except they use a different hose. (I must tell this joke: Do you know the difference between an oral and rectal thermometer? The taste). For the below the belt procedure, the preparation is worse than the ...

Bicycle Safety

Sitting on the front porch rocker just the other day, when a kid came by riding his bicycle. From my view, he appeared to be wearing a helmet, elbow and knee pads. Then I noticed approximately 20 feet behind him an automobile-- his Momma, obviously the kids wingman, was following behind him in her car with the hazard lights flashing. This explained all the safety gear. Boy, the times sure have changed. We rode our bikes with reckless abandon, as if we had just stolen them; alas, it was our first set of wheels and freedom! The way we did it was like this: First, you had to be dressed accordingly: barefooted, shirtless, and wearing shorts. Ball caps were optional. There were two type of crashes--planned and unplanned. These were the halcyon days of Evel Knievel so there were a lot of deliberate on purpose (planned) bike jumps that resulted in crashes. The unplanned were more severe, because you had less preparation time. Regardless of the type, you end up bleeding from damn near everywh...
