I suppose I jumped the gun when I mislabeled the storms we’ve been having around here as ‘monsoons’. Apparently, they weren’t monsoons at all but rather the remnants of Typhoon Cimaron, which beat the crap out of the Philippines and Vietnam before deciding to bring the fight over here. By Monday, I was beginning to Google things like: “How to build an Ark in 10 easy steps“. To make matters worse, Sunday night around 9pm we had an Earthquake in downtown Portland. Ok, that actually sounds worse than it was. It was reported that only a few thousand people felt the tremor. No one I know felt anything.
It was movie night at baby class yesterday. I found it a little hard to concentrate during class knowing that election reports were flowing in around the country and I was sequestered in a conference room at the bottom of a hospital watching this women on the T.V. with impossibly large, I love Jon Bon Jovi butt-rocker hair trying to negotiate her drug cocktail on the way to delivering her baby. It was like a deleted scene from ‘Dazed and Confused’. Certainly this is not the ‘Joy of Childbirth’ that I have been told so much about. Again, when the rocker-haired mom fist appeared on the screen, the misses busted out in uncontrollable laughter. It might be time to update that video. The teacher passed out this handout entitled, “Daddies are Bonding in Their Blogs”. Apparently, there are all these ‘dads’ who keep these things called ‘blogs’ where they talk about things like birthing classes, baby gear, etc. I know, I know, I’m thinking the same thing you are — what a bunch of losers those guys must be. Get a job hippie!
Got home and flipped on the tube/internet to see what our country had been up to during baby class. Hazzah! Victories! Impressive. Looks like the outlook on the U.S. Senate is looking good but the closeness of one or two key races could bog things down in a quagmire of lawyers for quite awhile. What a system. Oregon went democratic and all those crazy measures that were put on the Oregon ballot by the whacko-set all got ceremoniously dismissed.
