extortion?

Halloween is upon us again. After some considering, I’ve come to ponder the following: We dress our children in disguises, then send them door to door asking for candy, if the home-owner fails to “pay up” they are dealt a “trick” by a group of unsatisfied trick-or-treaters.

Isn’t this the same model as the mafia used? Are we indoctrinating our children into the mechanics of organized crime at a very young age?

Perhaps we’re just insuring the dentists will have their “fill” of customers for the following year.

california vote reinstated

Daddy, that's where boogers come from!

The other night I was trying (unsuccessfully) to put Jessica Anne to sleep (2.5 years old), laying next to her on my bed.

As I pretended to be alseep (hoping she’d take a hint) she took her index finger, placed it ever so gently in my nostril and whisperd “Daddy, that’s where boogers come from!”

Luckily I was “booger free” at the time, but that little moment will stay with me for a long time.
