If you can't laugh at everybody, you can't laugh at anybody

Well, winter is here. . . at least the cold bit.
Mother nature has tried tossing some snow at us a couple of times. We even had accumulation twice. But then as though the planet were bi-polar (!?!?!) it snapped into a warm spell and everything melted.
It's been quiet around the pharm - its too quiet. In a lot of ways we have had to reinvent ourselves as a couple, and as a family. To that end we have been discussing a lot with the children how we should carry on. What traditions we have developed together with the Hogans that we like (singing before meals together is one), and what things we might change.
Amy and i planted a passion flower together :-)
Amy had the brilliant idea to photograph it everyday so that we could later make a collage of it's growth.
More amazingly, last night we went to a concert together!! i can't remember the last time that i went to a "real" concert (coffee shop events don't count). Thanks to our good friends Dan and Nancy we went to see Jeff Dunham. Yup, the ventriloquist guy. At first i was a little worried. When he finally came out on stage (some guy fell and THRASHED his leg just after the opening act) he was tanked!!! i was worried that the puppets were more coherent than he. But as he got going . . . i needed Advil at the end. i don't think i have laughed that hard in a loooooong time!!
