I was tickled by It's a "Guy Thing",and thought I would give you a better image of hubby.

He is not a fan of professional sports...he is an SF fan--a nerd. He wooed me in college by acting out(on his knees) the part of the midget in "Plato's Stepchildren." "Please let me kill him!"

His parents worked their way through college as Arthur Murray instructors and his mother was a theater major. That boy knows the lyrics to every love song in the "Great American Songbook" and isn't afraid to grab his ukelele (yes, ukelele) and burst into song--or dance me through the house--should the moment seem auspicious.

In high school, his nick name was "Wally," as in Beaver Cleaver's older brother-- but I've always thought of him as my own personal Howard Keel.

i will check their website, but Catholics don't generally cancel Mass, period

I recall being at some miserable weather masses where I was the only alter boy to make it in, and the priest went ahead and started mass even though no one showed up in the church

[hobbes1]

No Altar boy, no Ushers, Just the Priest, and 11 of the Hardy Souls...(Most of the snow had not yet been cleaned up, and the congregation bc of the Tridentine, is not local...)

[Hegewisch Dupa]

No alter boy? Are you an ex-Knight of the Alter, and therefore did you come out of retirement to save the day???

[secret garden]

So your family and five others? That was it? Did they have an 8:00?

[CholeraJoe]

No sheep, no foul.

And gabz, WTFO?

[secret garden]

Well, well, well. Look what the sheep dragged in. ;)

[xsmommy]

what about gabz and the world trade organization... ; )

[CholeraJoe]

No dogs involved. Slipped on my top step and hit every step on the way down. Broke, twisted and dislocated everything below the knee on the left. After a titanium rod and multiple screws plus six weeks in a brace and on crutches, I'm finally back on two feet.

Drove the GTO today and had to pull back at 97 mph.

[Argh]

Good grief, Doc! I had no idea it was so awful.

[secret garden]

He never does anything halfway, does he?

[Argh]

Well, he's good that way, but in this case he could have made an exception.

[CholeraJoe]

He never does anything halfway, does he?

Fifteen Men on a dead man's chest

Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum.

[secret garden]

Come to today's classroom already.

[CholeraJoe]

Sorry, I'm pining for my squid duty this weekend

[secret garden]

Taunting me about hockey again, Dr. Evil?

[CholeraJoe]

Yup. I've got pucks piled up to my butt. The best winners are the ones held by the Princess with xsteen's name and home phone number, Or hers that say, "Throw me a puck and I'll blow you.....a kiss."

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I had no idea about your hobby CJ....... glad it kept you occupied while recooperating though..;^)

[CholeraJoe]

Yeah, right.
