My outfielders mitt in my hand, at 7 years old, and lovin' it!

Then someone else has to do the actual well stuff (who is a neighbor about 4 miles away and will be here ASAP to do that). As for my fresh water tank: I'm used to going camping where there is no place to refill the tank for the weekend, way up in the mountains with no power and the only water is a stream. I'm GOOD at water conservation. LOL! I still have about 1/2 the holding tank left. My freshwater tank holds 45 gallons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-4084397499261297552007-05-01T09:27:00.000-06:002007-05-01T09:27:00.000-06:00Reese sez: You call it "insensitive" of Limbaugh....Reese sez: <I>You call it "insensitive" of Limbaugh.

Gerard's essay explained the relationship between Limbaugh, the LA Times op-ed, and the song parody. I probably (once again) should have made that point a lil more clearer for those who wouldn't chase the link.<BR/><BR/>You're right about it taking a little bit of time to read and fully appreciate van der Leun. But time is what I have most of these days, so it's not that big a deal... for me. Now if I had a <I>job</I>, a family, property to keep up, yadda, yadda, things might could be different! :-)<BR/><BR/>Jenny: Re: updating your site...<I>Cool!</I> I hope those guys finish your well today.

And I believe I included those hair cut pictures.<BR/><BR/>www.jandjessary.com and click on site updates (ignore the store part. that is a work in progress that is no where near finished yet).<BR/><BR/>As for most photographed kids, that's for sure! When I went digital back in 2000, I went from about a roll every month to 100 pics a month. Now that I got a digital SLR, that's up to about 500/month (not all kids). but the baby knows how to say cheese.<BR/><BR/>In fact, I'm off to take pictures now of the guys drilling my new well so I can have water in the house again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-201609592803400202007-04-30T22:16:00.000-06:002007-04-30T22:16:00.000-06:00I will assume you mean Limbaugh's playing of Paul ...I will assume you mean Limbaugh's playing of Paul Shanklin's (sp?) parody/impersonation of Al Sharpton (speaking through a bullhorn)quoting the LA Times op-ed calling Obama a "magic Negro" i.e. the one to appeal to those who seek the abatement of "whitey's" guilt. <BR/><BR/>You call it "insensitive" of Limbaugh. I think that's just the reaction Limbaugh wanted, to illustrate that it was the Times opinionist that pushed the notion that Obama's popularity is due to Shelby Steele's (?) idea of white guilt. The Times' columnist demonstrates the real insensitivity. <BR/><BR/>I guess Van der Leun is making the same point in a different way, though I haven't read it yet. I like American Digest, but it's hard to squeeze it in sometimes. Wonderful essays, but long. <BR/><BR/>Limbaugh once read one of Van der Leun's essays on the air. It was the one about "The new Castrati." When you hear Limbaugh use that term you know where he got it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-39323284884166746282007-04-30T19:46:00.000-06:002007-04-30T19:46:00.000-06:00Becky said: I think as parents, we must be hard w...Becky said: <I>I think as parents, we must be hard wired to take certain types of pics of our kids.</I><BR/><BR/>I think you're right, Becky.

In the end, he sat in the recliner playing on his laptop and I did the whole thing by myself in the kitchen. Luckily, I gave the camera to my 9 year old and she took the pics. He was such a good boy, stayed still the whole time while I buzzed him.
