Happy Birthday to Bad Soup Day!

If I'd had my act together I would have typed this at midnight last night--the beginning of your day over in the UK. However, I hope this birthday wish finds Soupy recovering from a fine celebration!

Many happy returns to bad_soup_day!

I Remember Mamma

I called my folks today. My dad had a colonoscopy on Friday. Mother was supposed to call me when they got home. She didn't. Those of you not familiar with the epic battles with mother will have to trust me when I say 'no news is NOT good news.' Mother withholds information gleefully. So, today I call her to find out what's going on and say hi.

The call lasted a minute, maybe too. The sum total was:

"So have you chained yourself to the Marine Recruitment Office?".

Me: "Oooh you've heard about that have you? Fox news I bet. Jeeze Mother, It's Berkeley! What do you expect?"

Mother: "You're breaking up badly call me back later."
