Somethings pretty funny

Lately, the weather here has been rainy and cold, so Carolyn and I are stuck in the house. We could sit in the basement and watch, "Rescue Me," on DVD which is a show I highly recommend except it's not exactly G rated. Instead, we play upstairs and listen to AM talk radio. "Why would a good yuppie like Montanadad not just listen to NPR all day?" you might ask. Apparently, Montanans can't get enough Jazz because except for the morning and noon news, that's all they play on NPR. My choices for AM talk radio are unlimited. There's Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Michael Savage. It's hard to believe there's such a thing as the "liberal media," when those are my choices. Sometimes it gets so hard to listen to, it makes us eat dirt.

Rusty old tractor parts lawn art

We went for a walk and someone in the neighborhood had either used a rusty plow to get rid of weeds of more likely used this as lawn art.


Even better was the giant rusty tractor tire close by.

After walking around the neighborhood we realized this is a somewhat common theme, people love to decorate the front lawn with rusty metal. I suppose this is better than the decorating style we were used to in NYC which was used condoms and dog crap, but not something we would choose.

Not thinking about going back to work

Carolyn keeps getting cuter.


I haven't been thinking about going back to work, but feel like I ought to be thinking about going back to work. I've been a SAHD for a year now and I'm worried about having a gap in the C.V. However, any employer who would consider taking time off to be with Carolyn a bad thing I probably don't want to work for anyway. Consequently, I'm going to return to not thinking about going back to work and focus on other things like going to Costo after Carolyn wakes up from her nap.
Top 5 things about Costco:
#5: When I miss standing in line from having lived in NYC, I can always find a long one to stand in at Costco.
#4: The ice cream bar dipped in chocolate and covered in almonds for only $1.50. I'd easily pay $3 for it.
#3: It reminds me of my brother who loves going to Costco more than anyone I know. Here he is using a sled he got from there.



#2: When it rains the good folks at Costco wipe down the shopping cart.


And the #1 great thing about going to Costco:
If you forget to feed your kid that day, there are plenty of healthy free samples for her to eat offered by Senior Citizens in hair nets.
