Men at work

  • Sometimes song is the only thing that can pull Bennett out of the screams.  Since I don't know any lullabies (per se) I have to resort to a myriad of top 40 (once upon a time) tunes (or early 90's gangsta rap).  Today Bennett was fighting sleep and I resorted to Men at Work (ironically, Karah was gone and it was just the guys at home . . . get it?  Men at Work??  Nevermind.).  Anyway, Dad singing Overkill was finally what got him in the crib:

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
It's just Overkill


  • Incidentally, this is my favorite scene from my favorite TV show:


  • Another cool Scrubs (ironically, I wore scrubs to work today) musical scene (I digress):


  • What's cooler than being cool?  (Ice cold!)

The Cape

One of my fatherhood goals . . . to teach Bennett to "trust his cape"
"He did not know he could not fly and so he did"

Sippin on Gin and Juice

  • Again, we packed up the kid and dog (and accompanying accessories) in the family truckster and headed east (Just like Smokey and the Bandit . . . Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin' ).  This time to St. Francis, USA (as good as it gets). 
  • Ever been to the Cheyenne County fair (a.k.a. Fair)?  I have . . . and the parade too.  Jealous?
  • Fair
    Parade
    Thanks to Lampe Hardware, Inc for a little shade.
  • The St. Francis Amusement Authority consists of 10 board members. Their goal is to provide a fun and safe environment for families at the Cheyenne County fair. Volunteers are always welcomed.
  • Amusement Authority . . . is that like mandatory fun?
  • What happened at Fair? . . . Karah chatted (and played nickles and chatted), Bennett slept, and I maintained the stroller.  A special thanks to the other "extra", Bennett's cousin Wil (he played the teenager who's "grown since the last time I saw you."). 
  • Brux had reservations at the Holidog Inn on Saturday.
  • Bennett met his other Great Grandma, Meta, this weekend:

  • Karah celebrated her 36th on Sunday:


  • I love my son:



  • Karah had a United Way board meeting this morning . . . sooo, I got to take Bennett to work with me.  Super fun!

  • Snoop (D-O-Double G, ya see) is a wise dad (a.k.a wizzle dizzle):
