Cutest voice mail EVER

This the cutest voice mail ever.  It was given by my daughter Courtney to her grandparents – she was about 1 1/2 yrs old.  Courtney’s name for “Granny and Grandpa” was, as you will hear, “E” and “Papa.”  She was sitting on my lap when she left the message and at one point patted my chest [...]

Is it good or bad to have your first post of a new decade include Weird Al?  Well, on palindrome day, 01-02-2010, I watched a Weird Al video, “Bob,” in which all the lyrics are palindromes.  Very funny.  Some of my favorites: Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog. ‘Do nine men interpret? ‘Nine [...]
