A kegle'n we will go



Our company is in the "throws" of starting a bowling team, so much fun. It is the talk of the office (Has there ever been an episode of "The Office" on this subject, Scranton surely has a large bowling market?) and everyone is excited to play a part. We have even ordered bowling shirts to at least make us look like bowlers.



For even more fun the Brother has accepted the challenge to join us. We will first participate in a fund raiser benefit for Jr Achievement with the bankers on February 17th and then start regular weekly bowling the following month.

To the right is an example of the style of the shirt we will wear, except ours will have a big bold blub on the back and our names stitched on the front. Wish us well!

Ehhh...



Yesterday, while Lesa went to visit Grandma, Aaro and I decided to go see a movie. And after a little negotiation Sarah consented to see Rocky Balboa. It was only later that I realized that Sarah was not aware that this is like the 6th Rocky movie. She was a good sport to go with guys to a boxing movie.

We met the Sharp's at the Commons as they were coming out of The Holiday, A chick flick for sure, but they said is was good. They commented that Rocky was supposed to be good too, whatever that means? Well I can say that it was good, the dialog was as expected in a Stallone film with plenty of ehh's, yo's and whatayadoin's. But it was pretty decent, with some blood and spit but no language or other yucky stuff.

I give it a 3 on the Dadoo scale of watch-a-bility.

24 Breaking NEWS!



To all devoted 24 faithful, there is significant news from the 24 set, it seems that Graham Bauer may not be the only Bauer brother to be revealed in episode 5.

Can you guess who this might be?

I am speaking of Kimberly Bauer's "half" brother, none other than the blond haired teenager who we are briefly introduced as Jack's nephew, Josh. Rumors are that this is Jack's son, apparently from a relationship with Graham's wife, Marilyn.



There are obvious similarities between Josh and Kim. the blond hair and facial features no doubt played a role in casting Evan Ellingson into this role. It will be an interesting season, stay tuned

24 is the bomb!




We are only 2 weeks into this years 24 and already Jack has befriended a terrorist, killed his buddy, witnessed a nuclear detonation and tortured his brother. Once again this is the longest day in good ole Jack's life!

This year is better since the brother Aaro is a huge fan, a 24 newby, and eager to join in the excitement of 24. 5 down and only 19 episodes to go.

I have one question to toss out here, wasn't Jack's brother in last year's season as one of the band of bad men who escaped on a plane to Europe? tink, tink, tink, tink........

Snow in Tucson!





"Winter Storm Slams Southern Arizona

Although the heaviest snowfall in Arizona on Sunday was in the north, snow also fell in downtown Phoenix and Tucson, which received up to 11/2 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

Glenn Jones, who lives on a small farm in Marana northwest of Tucson, said he was cold and wet and would be glad when it warms up again.

"I had chores to do today, animals to feed, to get ready for the week," he said. "I don't like to work in it. It's too cold. That's the reason I moved here -- to get out of it.""

Winter in Arizona, get your mittens out Emma!

Bunco busted



The stage was set for an evening of fun and games for this troupe of young dice tossing hoodlums. Bright eyed and filled with glee, as the fateful day approached. Trouble was afoot and it was not good, nothing good comes from such activity.

Just fun and games? Shall our youth falter?

Well, either you're closing your eyes
To a situation you do now wish to acknowledge

Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated
By the presence of a evil dice in your community.
Ya got trouble, my friend, right here,
I say, trouble right here in Sandy City.



Why sure I'm a player,
Certainly mighty proud I say
I'm always mighty proud to say it.
I consider that the hours I spend
With a cue in my hand are golden.



Help you cultivate horse sense
And a cool head and a keen eye.
Never take and try to give
An iron-clad leave to yourself
From a three-roll bunco toss?

Well cool heads prevailed and the authorities ruled, no Bunco here, not in Sandy City!
