Those Iranians must drink a lot of oenomel since they think Kim Kardashian is a secret agent.

Do you watch Game of Thrones? Did you notice the eerie similarity between Daenerys’ method of gaining control of the Dothraki and Trump’s of the GOP?

Sad to say, I’ve never watched Game of Thrones and I do not have HBO and I couldn’t possibly add another show. Sounds interesting though.

Excellent.

So how’s the Gord? Is he getting over his pneumonia?

He was waiting for just the right moment. :-)

I would have pulled Murray and put Fleury in after that first period.

Oenomel: A method of randomly selecting who buys the next round of wine laced with honey.

“Oenee, moenee, miney, mel...”

That’s sad. Try to catch it some time, maybe once the kid starts kindergarten. ;-)

Spoiler alert: It involved barring the doors and burning the place to the ground with everyone inside.

yes by Sunday he was sounding better. the neb meds tend to hype him up. I had to laugh on Saturday she texted me to say that he was being “decidedly bad!” and wasn’t he too young to be acting that way? He was not nursing properly was “screwing around” and was throwing stuff. I said the sweetest babies have days like that when they are not feeling well and taking medicine. She lives in fear of him being a brat and she will def be the disciplinarian to make sure it doesn’t happen.

If the Iranians accuse Mrs. West of being an intelligence agent, we will know they have lost all sense

yes, I know, I wonder why he’s studiously sticking with Murray? my eyes closed involuntarily and suddenly they were tied up. I had to check the score this AM bc I didn’t make it through the 3d.
