Okay, that was just God messin' with my head

As I'm leaving for work this morning, Kaitlyn, my daughter who will turn 2 later this month, says to me:

"Bye, bye Daddy. See you in the funny papers!"

I promise.

And you think THAT is what indicates God messing with you!?! How bout both your kids getting a combo of your's and Fran's sense of humor! Slightly dark, a little off and pointed and perfectly timely... And you wonder where she comes up with stuff. Both your children are hilarious. Love you funny guy and your funny girl too!

Oh - interesting change of scenery on the blog.

I hate you template change...the older one is way better, or get one of those cool colored ones...

Hey there Mel and GP:

I had to do something about my template. Let it grow on you.

The other one was putting me to sleep, and, looking over the choices, I thought this one emphasized the text more than what I had....what the heck? I can always change it to something else, right?

I had to get rid of that clock, too...

GP: Aren't you awake at odd hours today?

Anyway, let's see who all hates it...

GP:

"See you in the funny papers" is an old-time expression (I believe from the 1920's). The funny papers are a slang term for the comic strip section of the newspaper.

: : SEE YOU IN THE FUNNY PAPERS - Jocular farewell suggests that that the person addressed is rather laughable. U.S. 1920s. Extinct by the 1950s. From "A Dictionary of Catch Phrases: American and British from the Sixteenth Century to the Present Day" by Eric Partridge, updated and edited by Paul Beal, Scarborough House, Lanham, Md., 1992).

We have no idea where she heard this, but I haven't seen it other than watching old movies...

Fran has offered a verbal vote: The blog format is "okay", but she thinks my photo is hard to figure out...just like everyone in my art class thought...but I forgive her.
