"You should probably hire a mover"


Davina said this to me about moving the piano. This puzzed and angered me. Movers hire me! Anyway we get to the house and are shown the piano. We both instinctively grab an end and lift. Piece of cake I say, as soon as we unbolt this baby from the floor we're home free. But of course it wasn't bolted to the floor, it was just gravity. It was a piano shaped dead elephant. This thing was "poop in your pants" heavy, it had to weigh 1000 pounds. We destroyed almost every room in the house getting this beast out. At one point I had to stop Tom who was holding a bureau over his head and was about to toss it out an upstairs bedroom window, it was bad enough that I was rifling through their CDs and snapping the ones that displeased me. There was some disagreement over our time tested moving techniques and there was more than one shoving match, at one point Tom mistakenly took a swing at me and missed, pulverizing a grandfather clock in the hallway. It all worked out in the end though. We got the piano in the truck and Me Tom and Prudence with a big chunk of drywall still in her mouth dusted ourselves off and headed for home. No harm no foul.

Piano Day

This morning Prudence and I are going on a journey to Massachusetts to pick up a piano given to us by my crazy cousin. We enlisted the help of Tom Flynn. Yes THAT Tom Flynn. The Boston Firefighter who once benched 415 pounds 5 times. The one that the movie "The Terminator" is based on. The one who saved a kitten from a burning building the other day. Anyway, stayed tuned to find out how it goes. Oh, and we're not even gonna call the guy. The plan is we just show up and I smash Prudence(bulldog puppy from Hilter's Ass) through one of his closed windows, she wrecks a bunch of his shit before he even realizes what has just happened to his life. Tom boots in the door and grabs the piano and runs while I'm in his driveway keying his car.

Too Cool!







It didn't take long for someone to take up residence in the houses that the girls built.

Mothers Day

So it's 6am, I've decided I let her "sleep in" long enough. Mrs D.O.M. said she wanted to go to breakfast early to beat the Mother's day rush. I jump on top of her while she's sleeping screaming "time to wake up, Happy Mother's day" over and over again. Weeeee!! "Happy Mothers day, let's go to breakfast!"....I Love you, you're so beautiful, let's eat", and of course, "come on get up, you whore, I'm hungry" She finally wakes up and acknowledges my existence and says to give her a few minutes to get ready. I get off of her and let her up. The sight of a guitar leaning against the wall immediately brings the joyous vision of me smashing it over the top of her head. Not in a mean way, but an overcome with joy way. I burst out laughing which puzzles her. I try to explain but it just makes things worse.

"Medication Time"

Long day with the peeps. Being a Dad makes one "need" a drink. For me it's a tall glass of cold lemonade Vodka.

Totally Normal

Here sqrirrel squirrel squirrel


I just picked up this machine today. The Mrs has been after me for years to rid the property of the vermin squirrel population.

Sunday Morning Coming Down


I'm losing patience with this planet. Shouldn't be too much longer for Mr Borgnine. Lucky bastard. This bus ride no longer interests me. Time to get off. Nice day though. Maybe we'll go for a hike. Yesterday I hung up the bird houses the girls built. We also built some marionette type "silly guys". The knots I tied kept coming undone on their arms, so I had to keep fixing them, which was awesome and non stressful.

The Bank

So I'm walking into a bank today and I walk by this woman. She is talking on the phone in another language. I look at her and IMMEDIATELY the inside of my head starts playing dolphin noises. What causes this? I mean, I'm literally staring at her and at the same time,in my head, flipper is trying to communicate to me. When the foreign people hear me talk do stupid orangutan noises come out of my mouth (in their minds)?

A Chicken's Poem



Dawn

You there?

I love you

I am but chicken

Sadness comes often for me

Frightened

I heard the fox last night

You are my beacon of goodness

Don't ever think I don't notice you

The bread you bring, Oh the bread you bring

Cinnamon and Prudence



I have a feeling that this relationship will end poorly

The Terrorist



Do not ever get one of these creatures. She's like her own personal band of marauders. Big time asshole. The only peace I get is when she's sleeping and even then she snores like a 300 pound drunken pirate. Oh, and sometime she sleeps with her eyes open. How crazy is that? Bug eyes staring right at you, watching your every move,yet sound asleep. Unless someone drops a breadcrumb in the next room. Then it's like an instant Bulldog cannonball firing right at the sound of food.

The Beach


We spent Easter the way God really wanted us to spend it. Combing the beaches of New Hampshire looking for goodies. You can't get better than spending some time in Mommy Nature's church on such a beautiful day. Spending a sunny Sunday morning with some fat pasty white slob asking you for money to cover his court costs? No thanks. I'll take the sea or the mountains any day. This was our first Easter dinner spent "on the road". It felt great,like we were on the lam. The beaches weren't crowded and the water was about 5 degrees. We brought back tons of stuff for future craft projects, the kids had a blast. Can't wait 'til next Easter.
