Family Time in the Dirty South


That's my nephew Leo. He's destined for great things, especially when that incredibly loud drum set that i ordered for him arrives. It's called the "The Sanity Destroyer." It is given a consumer report rating of 5 stars by uncles who don't live in the same country as their nephews, and a rating of -1 stars by parents.

I was recently hanging out with Leo, and my brother and sister-in-law (Jeff and Kelly) in Lexington, Kentucky. My role was to teach Leo sweet WWF style wrestling moves. This consisted of pushing the air-mattress and couches together and then tossing Leo off the top turn buckle. I found this was best done just before bedtime. The key was to wind the little guy up to a level known as "delirious with hysteria" and then turn him over to Jeff and Kelly and walk out the door with my hands raised up in victory.

It is currently undetermined whether i will be invited back to Lexington in the future.

Off to my birth place, and then a date with the St. Lunatics.
