Mom & Me
That baby looks suspiciously like Sam. Poor kid, he'll end up looking like me.

Why Life is Good
I've been on vacation for the last few days with Mrs. and Baby ikeepitreal in Idaho's panhandle, and I'm struck with the need to write down why I feel so happy right now. BTW, this urge is costing me some sleep, which right now is pretty stinking valuable. (I don't know if you are supposed to feel sorry for me now or just urged to read on, cause it might be important). Anyhoo -- I present a list of why life is good:
* Mountain lakes
* Jimmy Dean sausage
* Having your son go to sleep snuggling with you and clutching a clump of your hair -- 3 nights in a row. Pretty fun, but I may be encouraging a bad habit. :)
* Shamelessly growing a shaggy beard
* Mountain bike rides that start 10 miles down a one lane dirt road
* Sam's smile
* Enjoying the marketing machine that is the ID/MT huckleberry. This is relatively new, no? I didn't have a lot of huckleberry [syrup|popcorn|candy|BBQ sauce(?!)] growing up.
* Fire
* Feeling like a family. I think your spouse doesn't really feel like family to you until you go thru something really hard together and get closer. For us, that has is the last 7 months. I guess maybe she feels more like family because now, we *are* a family. Either way -- I digress. I like Becky.
* Dreaming of owning a cabin
* Hot tubs under the stars
* Having your uncle sweet talk your way onto a free boat ride
* Trout

Yeti Fun
Got blogger's block? Post pictures! Nothing quite as funny as a guy in a Sasquatch costume climbing out of a luxury box. Well, there are a few funnier things I guess... but this will have to do.

The Things They Say
Bad blogger... I know, I haven't posted for a while. We've been travelling, and I really haven't had much to say. So I will leave you with a quick antecdote about one of my friends kids (relayed to me by the dad).
3 YO Boy: "Mom, can I have some (details forgot)...?"
Mom: "(changing a baby's diaper) Not now, I'm busy."
3 YO Boy: (under his breath and walking away) "Grumpy old troll..."
Apparently he learned this line from Dora the Explorer. Funniest part is, the Dad had to run into the other room so he could fall over lauging without his son seeing. :)

b) "Mash-up"
Please file your choice in the comments, as well as any examples of overuse you may have.
