Up North and Back

Hunter and Jim like to have what they call "choking contests". Jim has informed me that this photo is not a true CC as his hands are not around Hunter's neck. Good.
Anyone in the Northeast is familiar with this shot. We returned home for a couple of weeks for various commitments but mainly for a grandchildren fix and the celebration of Hunter's 13th birthday. We also got the many ton load of snow off our roof, ice out of the gutters, dug out Jim's car and truck and generally tried to make sure our house would be okay until we returned.
Hunter displaying birthday foccacio. Hunter has become even more of an avid reader than before. His school has a great program. Huge lists of books, all have point value, you meet with your advisor and decide # you're going to try to obtain. 1st semester Hunter bid low and easily got his goal plus. He read Moby Dick among others, slogging his way through fairly quickly with good understanding too, but I don't think he truly enjoyed it. He soon discovered Jules Verne however and went racing through 20,000 Leagues, Around the World and Mysterious Island. Now hes into Charles Dickens and learning about the hard life of David Copperfield. Whats next? Animal Farm? War and Peace? I am just so happy that hes a reader.

Sweet Baby Abbie
Returning to St Croix we welcomed our first guest, Jay-Bird, here seen with the notorious St. Croix Vajayjay.
Went to the Ag-Fair over the weekend. Once again saw the strange phenomena of the dress-alikes.
Pretty cute.

That Vajayjay is lewd and debauched. It should not be seen by youngsters or unsupervised teens. And I would watch it around M. Bird or he may take it to his bed chamber and refuse to release it in the morning.

Mr. Bird is rather subdued. He had major back surgery last April and is still nursing his many infirmaties. As you may well recall Chuck he worries over every ache and pain. He is the original Dooms Day Prophet and never enters the room without some new horror he has just heard on the news. He is moving very slowly these days. We had many laughs over old WHRHS tales and the story of CJ Helen and Larry Reinking's crappy sleeping bag.

As I remember there was also the matter of someone's toothbrush; I will withhold the details lest I violate the rules of public decency. Yet in his vast uniqueness perhaps we should nominate the JBird for the WHRHS Hall of Fame, although I have no idea what his category would be. Any ideas?

We were thinking more along the lines of a Hall of Shame. Jace would be in the freshman class for sure but Russ Calamia the cop gone rogue -killer is a shoe-in and I bet we all could think of others. As for Mr. Bird there are so many tales, his appetites are large, food, sex, drugs. He is sadistic, yet kind to most animals except cats who he tries to run over with his car. How about the time he packed a pipe with match heads and it almost decapitated Al Brown? How about the time he tried to join El-Fatata and his woman while they were making love (Midnight Rambler). When his folks lived in Whitehouse Station their driveway ran alongside the railroad tracks. One night Jace returning home many sheets to the wind drove on the tracks , parked there and stumbled into the house. His Dad moved the car in time next morning, but what a thrill for the Ericsons, the original enablers.
