Happy Birthday Daddy2!
Today is David's birthday. David is my new father-in-law. Gosh, that's weird to write: "father-in-law". On my first try i wrote father-AND-law, and then i looked at it for a minute like a dog who's smelled something funny but doesn't know quite what, and then i realized that the AND must be IN because you call them your "In-Laws" not your "AND-laws. " As in "they're your parents withIN the law" not "they're your parents AND they will also judge you on all your poor qualities and immedietly phone your husband to tell him what a horrible shrew he's married because THEIR WORD IS LAW!!!"
Anyway,
David is having a party thrown in his honor this evening, a SINGING party! Good thing one of the A-------d clan up and married a soprano! Sing out Louise!!!
*If anyone else in the world know this reference, then You Too are a Dork. Sign-ups are not open for my new course entitled:
equal nox
Today is the first day of fall, otherwise known as the equinox. It is so called because the day today is equal in length with the night tonight, or perhaps last night; thus equi-, Latin for 'equal', plus nox, 'darkness' or 'night' in the same language. The preceding etymology was invented by me out of my own head just to be silly, but it turns out to be for all intents and purposes correct. I have internalized the internalities of the English language, apparently.
Happy Fall!
And Oh yeah, happy birthday Dad! That too. Leah is better at celebrating the birthdays of my parents than I am myself.
