    Uhm, did your mother have a crush on Chi Chi Rodriguez? I can think of no other reason to put a hat like that on a little kid. My god, how you must have suffered. :)

    Careful Captain, that's my sister, commenting below!

    Sandi: You mean the vest that shall never be spoken of or seen again?

    Kirby: Chi Chi Rodriguez! Ha ha ha! She always did the sword fight move in the kitchen with the carving knife!

    Teri: These scars are deep...

    That is the best kind of awesome right there, even the dog looked away so as not to pull focus. Love it.

    Bing Crosby! At least your mom put a hat on you. My mom let me baldness be recorded for the ages.

    You are a brave man. All of those kinds of pictures have slowly disappeared from my folks house. NEVER to be seen again.

    I like your sister restraining your wrist with what appears to be a "don't even think about putting your finger up your nose." hold.

    I like the hat and the very preppy patch on your jacket. all 3 of you were looked very snappy in your attire

    Raven: If I ever stumble across any of them I am going to use them against you!

    Cheer: I was probably hitting her with that arm. The patch I believe is a swanky yacht club patch...

    Old family photos are always hilarious. Unfortunately, my parents treated me like Stalin and have cut me out of all of them.

    Brilliant! In your Easter best out on the town with the ladies I see - who each have strapped brain matter to their lapels or are sporting giant mum corsages.

    That picture is so beautiful. Really.

    Mona looks beautiful. Sandi does, too. Skydad... you were a long, long way from the club, dude! Still, you were a wonderful son. Bravo.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
