toenail clippings

Well, well, well…here goes nothing. Time to clip my toenails on the kitchen table.

I figure that’s a better way to start than the standard, “Everybody is blogging so now I am too because, for whatever reason, I think that everything I say is important enough that the whole world should know what I think.” I’m pretty sure that really is the premise behind a blog and now Melissa and I have fallen into the same trap. Don’t worry, it’ll probably be something we do for 8.435 days and then give up. That will also save all of you a lot of time because you won’t have get to read this anymore.

I don’t think it’s fair to start blogging retroactively – if we wanted to write about stuff that already happened we should have done so already. Obviously, we didn’t care enough to do that which means we have to start with the here and now. That means we have to start with activities tonight. I’m the Scoutmaster over about 9, 12-13 yr old boys. I say about because sometimes there are more than others and most of the time at least one doesn’t really count as a whole kid. Melissa volunteers with the 12-13 yr old young women. The Scouts do way cooler stuff.

Tonight we’re going to the pool to pass off some requirements for the swimming merit badge and to show everyone how many Twinkies I’ve eaten in the past 7 years. I’m really looking forward to it. Melissa is doing a poster for their bulletin board. That sounds like even more fun.

Anyway. I think that’s a pretty good start.

Also, clipping your toenails on the kitchen table is disgusting. According to Melissa.

I get to be the first to comment on what I am sure will be one the most popular blogs on the internet for the next 8.435 days.

Last time I went swimming with the Scouts, they couldn't stop comparing we to Chewbacca. I'm still unclear on what is less socially acceptable being a Twinkie man or being a Wookie.

So, Ethan told me that he commented on this thing last night...something about a Wookie vs Twinkie man?! You'll have to ask him for further clarification. He was pretty pleased to be the first ever to comment on what is destined to be one of the most popular blogs on the block (second only to ours, Charity's, or Linda's, of course!). But, he-he-he, for some reason, his comment didn't post. (Or, did it?) Regardless, I'll count myself lucky to be one of the first visible comments on this perfectly priceless piece of popeless pontifications.

So - since I had to look up pontification in order to answer and vote, It seems to me that I must admit I have been out of that area of knowledge for WAY too long.
PS. Scouts Rule!

You are truly one of a kind. And, as usual, making me laugh. So glad to know that you finally have moved over to the dark side...
