Here are some pictures of Eli and Liam that appeared on the front of the Algona Paper. This is a much more wholesome picture for our family blog.

What great photos! We were just in Algona, and the front page was half covered by these 2 photos, so when the paper is folded and in a vending machine, Eli and Liam were right there!
Ed, is that you who saw Bob Dylan from the 2nd row? And I was with you, right? That was fun, maybe the best for me as well. I also saw Phish from very close in DC in 1995, but I don't really remember anything about it.
I saw Johnny Lang open for Buddy Guy in Minneapolis. That was great. I like to see shows in small venues too. When Joe and I went to Southern Culture on the Skids at the Ranch Bowl was a great time. Mom and Mary joined us there too.
You know what, stuart, I like you. you're not like the other People, here, in the trailer park
Oh, don't go get me wrong. they're fine people, they're Good americans. but they're content to sit back, maybe Watch a little mork and mindy on channel 57, maybe kick Back a cool, coors 16-ouncer. they're good, fine people Stuart. but they don't know ... what the queers are doing To the soil!
You know that jonny wurster kid, the kid that delivers papers In the neighborhood. he's a foreign kid. some of the neighbors Say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it
Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a burrow owl Kept bugging his old man. "dad, get me a burrow owl. I'll never Ask for anything else as long as I live." so the guy Breaks down and buys him a burrow owl
Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there's The wurster kid, looking up in the tree. I say, "what are You looking for?" he says "I'm looking for my burrow owl." I say, "jumping jesus on a pogo stick. everybody knows The burrow owl lives. in a hole. in the ground. why the hell do you Think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?" now stuart, do you Think a kid like that is going to know what the queers are Doing to the soil?
Steve walked warily down the street With his brim pulled way down low Ain't no sound, but the sound of his feet Machine guns ready to go Are your ready? Hey! Are you ready for this? Are you hanging by the edge of your seat? Outta the doorway the bullets rip Repeating to the sound of the beat Hey, hey ,hey ,hey ,hey ,hey Another one bites the dust... Boom, boom, boom, boom, another one bites the dust Baddah, boom, boom, boom, boom, Another one bites the dust And, another one down, and, another one down Another one bites the dust...
Papa don't preach I'm in trouble deep Papa don't preach I ain't gettin' no sleep You're wasting your time I'm keepin' my baby And, I don't mean maybe I'm gonna keep my baby Yahhhhh.
I think the Colts will win, but I have trouble with the 7 points the Bears were getting. And why are the Cubs called the Cubs? What a stupid name! They should change the name to Thunderdaggers or something. Maybe they'd do better.
Just put spaghetti sauce (doctored the sauce a bit) and meatballs (frozen ones) into the crockpot...off to work. This is the 5th day of fine crockpot dining. ooh aah!
Well, if I could remember a lyric to save my life, I'd quote something pithy from the Superbowl Shuffle. The team with the best offensive line will win. When I came back from the weekend, someone had installed a pretty ceiling fan in my office where a cheap plastic square fixture used to be. Took me half a day to notice (and the blades were turning, too) Moral:look up and smell the gently moving fresh air once in a while. Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone?
My Mom has a modeling gig. On Tuesday, January 30th at 9pm on Shop NBC...my Mom is going to be a model for a bare minerals (essentials?) spot. Go Helen go! Thought, maybe, you would want to, "tune in." :-<>
The power of the crack pot...the house smells good...not so stressed...cleans up fast...seem to be losing weight...makes me feel good! Sometimes I just sit and stare at it!
The Stinkin' Owl came from Aldi, the most ghetto of grocery stories. Bring cash because they don't take credit/debit/personal checks. Omaha Mike and I were watching our backs in the parking lot.
You might want to go to Trader Joes and pick up a few bottles of the Owl's more affluent cousin: The Two Buck Chuck. Yep, the Owl and the Charles Shaw come from the same winery.
It's funny that Patricia just (well, half an hour ago) said, "slow." Tom, always, thinks that I think everybody is slow and/or speech impaired. Not true. I, am simply, "in tune," with those that have an altered way of thinking and processing. Okay, I've said my peace. :-)
Right now, I can hear Tom and Guinness, "howling," together. They sound just fine...not slow nor speech impaired...just stupid and angst riddened.
Yes the Winking Owl wine is from ALDI...cash only store...same German bros. own Trader Joe's with the more reputable (as Desmond said) $2 buck chuck...same wine as winking owl...it's pretty darn good.
We just had a very nice visit with Cathy and Steve...we met at The Homy...they are about to leave on their Florida/Cruise trip...it sounds like a great time...Besides for other excursions...They will be watching the super bowl on a cruise ship's sports bar on the Carribean!!!
Stevo may be saving a good chunk of his on-board beer budget for gameday. (Beer - $5 each) Since there's only one sports bar, I think he's planning to camp out there starting early in the AM. I may be deployed to scrounge free food from the bistro so he doesn't lose his spot. I love Homy's. Forty beers on tap (we stuck with Anchor Steam last night) It's smoky because they don't serve food, thus getting around Omaha's new non-smoking rules, but you can order great sandwiches and pizza from across the street and they'll deliver. The walls are lined with old World-Herald front pages with headlines like "Amelia Earhart Heard From - Radios For Help" There's one from 1939 that has a feature about robots and how they will help us in the future and pictures of what they might look like. Very Buck Rogers.
Hey, I shop at Aldi's every other week. No one has ever bothered me. I've been to much ghetto-ier stores. Namely, Walmart after 11 p.m. By the way, Aldi's brand has some very good food. Not all of it is name-brand quality, but a lot of it is pretty good. I can grocery shop for a family of five for two weeks and spend less than $100. (and they're like a bunch of locusts - when they're teenagers they literally will eat us out of haouse and home)That includes paper towel and plates and school snacks and stuff. My predictions for Superbowl - high scoring game. Bears will win by less than 10. The game will be won by turnovers.

Oh, we went to the homosexual bar.
Wholesome, but not so excitingly salacious.
What day (date) did the paper come out?
Last Thursday.
I love that album. I really do. I think it was genius. P
Student update: Anaphylactic shock. That's what I dealt with today. She and her hives really did sparkle.
Sorry to steal your thunder...Aunt Monica. But, we had to get this pole dancing image out of our heads before puberty.
I believe "dark side of the moon" is the best selling album of all time! Heard that on the radio.
Split Pea soup is in the crack pot...I'm off to the office....4 days now of crock pot meals, all different types of entrees! That's no croc!
Mary has some good crack.
The last big hit for both Pink Floyd and Dale Earnhardt was "The Wall".
Saw PF in concert a few years ago. Loved the giant pigs.
saw them in Ames... it was a great show...
The only concerts I have seen:
Corey Hart
Madonna
Journey
James Brown
Sad...eh?
Wait a minute...I think I saw Prince...can't remember though. Hmm.
Right there's a list of why we're glad it's not the 80s any more!
Just kidding - James Brown? Cool.
Tom took me to see James Brown when I was, like, 10 weeks pregnant with Eli. I fell asleep!
Nance, I don't see the Wolfe Tones on your list. You were there at the KC Hall, weren't you? How could you forget?
I saw Bob Dylan from the second row, and Phish from the third row. Those were my funnest concerts, and Wolfe Tones.
This is what I just put in my crack pot
chicken cubed
yellow squash
carrots
onions
garlic
mushrooms
lots of tomato
fresh parsley
fresh basil
bay leaves
curry powder.
Em~ You're right! How could I forget? Okay, now I don't feel like such a loser...well, not as much. :-)
Ed, is that you who saw Bob Dylan from the 2nd row? And I was with you, right? That was fun, maybe the best for me as well. I also saw Phish from very close in DC in 1995, but I don't really remember anything about it.
No it wasn't ed, it was me.
me as in m.e.?
The first concert I went to Quiet Riot. I didn't go to another concert again for a long time. Saw Blues Traveler here in Cedar Rapids for free.
I saw Johnny Lang open for Buddy Guy in Minneapolis. That was great. I like to see shows in small venues too. When Joe and I went to Southern Culture on the Skids at the Ranch Bowl was a great time. Mom and Mary joined us there too.
HOw many of you trim and/or pluck your nose hairs?
i pull them out too. brings a tear to the eye.
STUART by the Dead Milkmen:
You know what, stuart, I like you. you're not like the other
People, here, in the trailer park
Oh, don't go get me wrong. they're fine people, they're
Good americans. but they're content to sit back, maybe
Watch a little mork and mindy on channel 57, maybe kick
Back a cool, coors 16-ouncer. they're good, fine people
Stuart. but they don't know ... what the queers are doing
To the soil!
You know that jonny wurster kid, the kid that delivers papers
In the neighborhood. he's a foreign kid. some of the neighbors
Say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it
Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a burrow owl
Kept bugging his old man. "dad, get me a burrow owl. I'll never
Ask for anything else as long as I live." so the guy
Breaks down and buys him a burrow owl
Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there's
The wurster kid, looking up in the tree. I say, "what are
You looking for?" he says "I'm looking for my burrow owl."
I say, "jumping jesus on a pogo stick. everybody knows
The burrow owl lives. in a hole. in the ground. why the hell do you
Think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?" now stuart, do you
Think a kid like that is going to know what the queers are
Doing to the soil?
Oh mickey you're so fine...you're so fine you blow my mind...hey, mickey, hey mickey!
Oh mama, I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home
Oh mama, I can hear you a-crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
domo arigato, mr roboto.
domo arigato, mr roboto.
I'm Fergilicious.
I'm Jenny from the block.
Hit me with your best shot.
Fire away.
Steve walked warily down the street
With his brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound, but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are your ready? Hey! Are you ready for this? Are you hanging by the edge of your seat?
Outta the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat
Hey, hey ,hey ,hey ,hey ,hey
Another one bites the dust...
Boom, boom, boom, boom, another one bites the dust
Baddah, boom, boom, boom, boom, Another one bites the dust
And, another one down, and, another one down
Another one bites the dust...
Hey, I'm a gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust.
Yah, ah, huh...I rock and roll and you wanna.
OH MAMA I'M IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE FROM THE SHORT ARM OF THE HOUSE!
TERM LIMITS PUT AN END TO MY RUNNING AND THEY TREAT ME LIKE A LOUSE!
HANGMAN CAME DOWN FROM THE GALLOWS AND HUSSEIN CAME TUMMLIG DOWN!
OH MAMA I CAN HEAR YOU A-CRYING
YOU'RE SO SCARED AND ALL ALONE!
PAPA BUSH IS HANGIN-OUT WITH BILL CLINTON, ...AND NOW I'M ON MY OWN!
You're not Jenny from the block...you're Monica from the dance pole! :-<> :-)
867-5309
Papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I ain't gettin' no sleep
You're wasting your time
I'm keepin' my baby
And, I don't mean maybe
I'm gonna keep my baby
Yahhhhh.
preach?
preech?
The Raiders.
the team with the black coach will win.
I think the Colts will win, but I have trouble with the 7 points the Bears were getting. And why are the Cubs called the Cubs? What a stupid name! They should change the name to Thunderdaggers or something. Maybe they'd do better.
Even though I was born in Indiana...I'm going with the BEARS!
The Cubs are bearcubs, right? I like it...Bears and Cubs, they only had to hire one artist for the logo...maybe CubClaws!
The bandwagon is still going and I'm hitching a ride. Go Bears! And Thunderdaggers!
New posting:
http://pepperloin.blogspot.com/
p.s.: THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!
Say ooh aah, up the Raa, say ooh aah up the Raa, etc.
ooh aah up the Raa!!
Just put spaghetti sauce (doctored the sauce a bit) and meatballs (frozen ones) into the crockpot...off to work. This is the 5th day of fine crockpot dining. ooh aah!
Mary,
You Sparkle!

Mary: cheap pork and Cookies BBQ sauce. A combo made for a crackpot.
The Metropolitans is such a cool name - and that mascot! It doesn't get any better than that!
C~ Yes, shoulder or shank...but, use Tom's Tasty...much moh bettah! :-)
My Mom has a modeling gig. On Tuesday, January 30th at 9pm on Shop NBC...my Mom is going to be a model for a bare minerals (essentials?) spot. Go Helen go! Thought, maybe, you would want to, "tune in." :-<>
Does that make you Bridget Jones?
Yes, dahhhhhhhhhhhling...
Say, where's Ed? And what do you do all day? Are you going to be able to come up for air after the end of January?
Ed told me once that he sold, "energy." How the heck does he do that? I have lots of energ...maybe, I should sell some! Ha, ha.
Speaking of Ed...
Is there any response to the Creighton game outing?
I want to buy some.
That's all fine and good...but, THAT'S where the question comes in with Ed. How the heck does one sell energy?
In 8oz. cans called Red Bull.
Ed's little hitler lord got canned...maybe he's trying to make a good impression with a new guy!
Ed sells Red Bull?
Maybe one of Mary's crack meals will give you more energy. Obviously they're addictive, she's doing them everyday.
The power of the crack pot...the house smells good...not so stressed...cleans up fast...seem to be losing weight...makes me feel good! Sometimes I just sit and stare at it!
Off the subject..
Why not try Jimmy Hendrick(sp)drink? Its a "liquid experience", so they say.
hey, LaVelles, I keep forgetting to ask: where do you get that Stinkin Owl wine?
The Stinkin' Owl came from Aldi, the most ghetto of grocery stories. Bring cash because they don't take credit/debit/personal checks. Omaha Mike and I were watching our backs in the parking lot.
You might want to go to Trader Joes and pick up a few bottles of the Owl's more affluent cousin: The Two Buck Chuck. Yep, the Owl and the Charles Shaw come from the same winery.

I graduated from high school with a guy named jim hendrick. Ed and Frank do you remember him? His bro was Dewey. He was slow.
p
It's funny that Patricia just (well, half an hour ago) said, "slow." Tom, always, thinks that I think everybody is slow and/or speech impaired. Not true. I, am simply, "in tune," with those that have an altered way of thinking and processing.
Okay, I've said my peace. :-)
Right now, I can hear Tom and Guinness, "howling," together. They sound just fine...not slow nor speech impaired...just stupid and angst riddened.
I'm not stupid nor filled with angst.
Nor am I.
Okay, fine. You're not.
yeah, i remember them both.
dewey or dew we not?
Yes the Winking Owl wine is from ALDI...cash only store...same German bros. own Trader Joe's with the more reputable (as Desmond said) $2 buck chuck...same wine as winking owl...it's pretty darn good.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, is $2 on a cruise ship.

The day pastry wins a football game I will quit watching.
