This is a classic look at The Dad Life. I need to get a print out of the lyrics and frame them. Great job guys!
I will be trying to get things updated here more often then once a year or or once a quarter or whatever I have been doing now. I have a new Posterous blog where I send pictures I take with my phone while I am on the move or when the new child (okay, not a human child, but a fur baby) does something cute or crazy.
What have you been up to? What are your plans for 2010? Who is having new babies these days? I feel like I have not been around here since …. wait I guess I haven’t. Catch me up!
I really appreciate all of the well wishes I have received and the nice comments and even a few phone calls to find out why for a whole month I was not posting. Many of you thought that Captain Genuine was laid to rest with the other guy with the same suit. That rumor is just that, I am not dead, nor have I faded away. I have had a lot of stuff on my plate as you may well know, and I have been fighting with some medical issues that appear to be permanent. I’ll let it go at that.
I am going to begin to try to post here regularly again, and will let you be a part of the Genuine household and a part of the Genuine family so you can follow along with the tribe as we begin to continue our journey. We have reached some milestones here like only having one child in diapers, having some baby teeth lost and new ones coming in, accidents involving ER visits and some pretty cool stuff too. I will try to get everyone caught up on what has happened. Let all your friends know that Genuine is back and with some pushing shoving and some kicking and screaming, we might just be a cool blogger again.
Sorry everyone it has been a week since my last post. No, I don’t make confessions. Been very busy here and had a little travel. I was able to meet Dad Gone Mad and His Hot Wife (his name for her, but she is as it turns out), while I was away. He is as cool in real life as he is on his blog. I am still busy, but I wanted to check in and say hey! NO excuses for the long time between posts, but when real life gets in the way sometimes, you need to let the other stuff go. Of course, I could have a guest poster on the blog, but I’m sure I wouldn’t have many takers to write!
An American hero has died. After his first appearance in 1941, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America has been assassinated. We here at the Genuine household are shocked that an American hero such as this has befallen a tragic end. We will do all we can to continue the tradition of Cap and try to carry on his symbol.
"We are all morning his loss," said Genuine upon hearing the news from his friend Aaron Brazell, "he has been an inspiration to me and represented all that was good about America, and about the human spirit."
This is a sad day for people around the world, and for small children, and even puppies. We will continue to use this man as an example of how we would like to be and how we as Americans can set the example of goodness. Goodness will triumph over evil in spite of its small victory today.
Well today is a milestone in the Genuine blogosphere. Today I turn 43 years old (I’m actually a leap year baby, so I’m only 10 3/4). I made it way past my bet, so if you were one of the ones I bet I would never make it to see 40, you can pick up your check at the front door. For the cyber people out there, this is my blogs anniversary. You can read my very first post about how I get started in the superhero business.
My best blogging buddy Jay over at The Zero Boss get’s my props today! It just goes to show that us conservative types can appreciate a good one liner although I am going to steal the entire post because it’s that good:
Um…have we all forgotten what happened the last time we let this man interpret intelligence data? Forget the Federal Marriage Amendment – there oughtta be an amendment specifying that, before starting a new war, the Commander in Chief should finish the previous one. You know, kind of like not being able to eat your pudding until you’ve eaten all your meat.
I am thinking of selling T-shirts here at the National Democratic Convention in Denver, and the title of this post will be on the front with Jay’s quip on the back. I could make a fortune. I will split it evenly with you jay 70-30! Hey, like I said I’m a republican.
When drinking coffee, make sure you have fresh unground coffee beans that are stored in the refrigerator to keep its freshness. You require a good coffee maker that will brew quickly but not too quickly that the freshly ground coffee does not lose its flavor. Grind the coffee and put it in the maker. When brewing, make sure your coffee maker is of the type that can be pulled from its burner and discontinues brewing for you to pour, otherwise you will require quickness of hand and eye to coordinate the "pull and switch". This is important because that first cup that touches those freshly ground beans is often the most rewarding. It carries with it the sweetest of the nectar of the coffee bean. It is also usually the strongest cup. If you follow these steps, by noon you be shaky and buzzing in no time! Of course, from coffee grinder to pouring over bowl of ice cream as topping in the morning works too.
