I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS HOW TIGER STARTED OUT...

...(but let's hope Luke doesn't end up the same way!)

Brendan was so grateful that Luke was around to guide him through
a recent putt-putt golf adventure. Cuz, you know...Brendan and golf
are an awkward and unfamiliar combination.

"Uncle Brendan, I feel if you place your ball HERE instead, you will have much better luck getting it to the hole."

"Okay, I've helped you all I can...the rest is

up to you."

Just a few of my recent favorites...almost a year

OH WHERE OH WHERE HAS MY MOM AND DAD GONE???

As you can see, I'm just lying here, wasting away on this hard rock floor...oops, you CAN see. Well, this isn't mom and dad's bed, but this nice plush chair has become my newest favorite place to lay, that is when this houses' dad isn't sitting in it. They force me to lie around, and keep putting food in front of me. Yesterday, when they left, they even forced a pig ear upon me. Of course I had to oblige them. Then this guy tries to push me to my limits. Not only does he tie and tangle me up with Princess on leashes, but walks me for 1 - 1.5 miles at a time. I thought I'd luck out when it was 10 degrees, but he dragged me out of the nice warm chair nonetheless. And then yesterday, when it was above freezing, he tried to get me to walk twice!!! Can you believe the nerve of some people? Well, I showed him that I belonged in Mideavil times, because I was a - dragin'. Get it? Dragon/ dragin' ... Sorry, his humor must be rubbing off on me.

I guess he is taking care of me. I get plenty of love and pets, and let out whenever I ask. Hope you're having fun down there. See you soon.

Love: Spike

DEPORTED!!!!!

I have great joy today, as I finally had my port removed yesterday after 2 years and 4 months! Had to have it done in the hospital, and I HATE being "put under" but I got to see my surgeon, Dr. Kamy Kemp, again after all this time, and it was a quick surgery and quick "waking up" period. Went in around 11am and was home and comfy on the couch by 4pm, stuffing my face with Taco Bell since I hadn't been allowed to eat since before midnite the nite before.

Just a teensy bit sore today but no stitches at all...they use a kind of "glue" now that just dissolves away in the shower. Technology is cool. As is being cancer-free.

WITCHES BEWARE

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — There's more bad news in the cards for Romania's beleaguered witches.

A month after Romanian authorities began taxing them for their trade, the country's soothsayers and fortune tellers are cursing a new bill that threatens fines or even prison if their predictions don't come true.

Witches argue they shouldn't be blamed for the failure of their tools. "They can't condemn witches, they should condemn the cards," Queen witch Bratara Buzea told The Associated Press.

Superstition is a serious matter in the land of Dracula. In January, officials changed labor laws to officially recognize the centuries-old practice as a taxable profession, prompting angry witches to dump poisonous mandrake into the Danube in an attempt to put a hex on the government.

Evidentally, it didn't work.

My New Favorite Commercial

I was trying to find a way to embed this video directly but couldn't find it right away. But trust me, this link is worth going to. Very funny commercial (and suitable for Star Wars-loving kids, too)! Enjoy.
