We've got the best balls!

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

The balls are here. The package was opened feverishly and the balls were admired. They were tested at the local park today and I must say, I am impressed! Not only are they hard core hollow rubber but they're heavy *and* taste like mint. Okay, they taste like rubber mint. Whatever, they're a smash hit with the boys. Jimmy even played a game of ball today and that is a rarity these days. He should have a bumper sticker that reads "I'd Rather be Hunting". As soon as we get to the park he's off into the brush on the side to hunt the ratses and the mices and sometimes to even be sprayed by a skunk. It's adventure at it's best. I guess the minty tasting balls won over his savage urge to kill and destroy. Who knew? Next time I have PMS I am going to chase those things all over the place and see how it goes. :) They bounce like you wouldn't believe. They float. AND they're heavy enough that they FLY when you throw them. Why didn't I think of this sooner??

Did everyone have a satisfying Easter? Mine was interesting. I showed up late late late for lunch and the family was thrown a little. I left the boys in the truck with their meaty bones and prayed for no dog fight as both wanted the backseat. I think there is more chewing pleasure derived from the back seat. I have eaten my lunch back there, and I must say, it is a little roomier and forgiving. It all worked out wonderfully and the Jeep has that delightful smell of raw meat in it now. After lunch, desert and coffee were consumed, my brother and I went out to "walk the dogs in the woods". While at said woods my brother noticed am interesting tree and went off to investigate. It was pretty wild. One of the limbs had grown super huge but instead of snapping off, it simply accepted gravity and it's lot in life and turned towards the earth to continue growing way to large for that tree. There was not one part of the limb that was broken and the bark looked very cool the way it rotated around the limb. Trusty phone toting warrior that I am, I got out the camera phone.

Here's the limb just hanging out, by itself:


Here's an idea of how large the limb is. My brother is standing directly under it and he's about 6' 3" (maybe bigger).


Then there's always the need to climb on it and see if it can support you and put up with your shit all the while taking pictures. This leads me to the conclusion that trees have a lot in common with men. it's also kind of creepy that the further you go in these woods you slowly lose your face...



That's about it. I have love for Baka Beyond and I am not ashamed to admit it. I'm also kind of digging Damien Rice but that's a little harder to admit. I wish Feist would just get on with it all ready and release all their new songs to iTunes for crying out loud. One of my projects is going to be to take all of my CD's and download them onto my laptop. This is going to take a while but I am ready and willing. It might happen on a Sunday. Ahhh... lazy Sundays, you do me so good.
