**Big Disclaimer**
I have permission from said party to blog about said medical term…thanks.
Last night Big Money* and I hung out with some our friends Jim Bo and Sally McSludgerson**. We dined, we laughed, I cried…
Something that I thought was hilarious was something that Jim Bo said. He had been experiencing some fatigue, not feeling well and the doctors thought that it might be gallstones. So…he had some test done.
Fast Forward to last night.
Jim Bo received his test results, and the verdict….sludge. The doctor actually told him he had sludge in his body. No medical terms or fancy words, just sludge. Who knew sludge could be so uncomfortable? Is it contagious? Hereditary? Who knows, but this medical breakthrough just might go down in the history books…I predict entire medical journals will be devoted to the exploration of sludge.
Well, Jim Bo will now be referred to as Sludge McSludgerson for the rest of his days.
Here’s to you Kirk, I mean Jim Bo. At least you’ve got your Wii skills going for you.
*Some people used to call my wife Big Money and I though it would be funny to refer to her as such…

I’ve experienced a few things lately that I’d love to share and put in my two cents.
The Strain
This weekend I was able to read Guillermo Del Toro’s new book – The Strain.
Guillermo Del Toro is of course the director of films like Blade II, The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth and the Hellboy movies.
I must start by saying I LOVED this book.
It is very Bram Stoker meets Outbreak meets I Am Legend. The basic premise is that a virus breaks loose in New York turning all of it’s victims into vampires.
Sounds exciting I know, but I think where this book really wins is in the writing. It reads more like a big budget blockbuster than a book. I read the whole thing in a day….I’m a loser I know. I love how Del Toro manages to blend fairy tale/fantasy into pretty much everything he touches and this book is no exception. The first chapter will knock your socks off – something straight from the Grimm Brothers.
SO, go out and buy this book! I’ll let you borrow my copy if you want.
The Hangover
This movie. I love this movie. Be it crude, it was probably one of the top 5 funniest movies I’ve ever seen. Please, please, PLEASE do not go see this with your parents or your in-laws. Just trust me on this one.
Check out the trailer to get an idea of the funny goodness you’ll see:
Elizabeth has flown to Tulsa with her mom to visit family out there for a few days.
Well this afternoon she packed the one thing that is essential to most when traveling – a suitcase. Her suitcase was of decent size as she is of the female gender and needs many different things for a few days worth of travel…ahem.
Well as a loving husband I was tasked with bringing the suitcase down the stairs and putting it in the kitchen to await departure.
The following is what took place after said task….
It continued like this most of the afternoon and stayed just as funny.
All I can say is good thing Bailey was there to protect us.
