SAVE THE DATE!

That's the notice that Tom got in the mail. . .

JUNE 3rd - JURY DUTY
at the MOAKELY FEDERAL COURTHOUSE in Boston!

FEDERAL COURT




This would be midly interesting news at best, were it not for this NEXT bit of information:

"New judge in James ‘Whitey’ Bulger case says she wants trial to start June 10 as planned"



"Casper said she planned to empanel a total of 18 jurors, 12 deliberating jurors and six alternates. Technically, the start of the trial is June 6, when the process of selecting a jury is supposed to get underway; June 10 is when lawyers are expected to begin presenting evidence to jurors."

I'm pretty confident that if Tom dons the hat from my previous blog post he will be dismissed.

I've Said it Before, I'll Say it Again. . .

HANDS OFF LADIES!!  He's ALL mine!


 While enjoying some appetizers on the patio with Tom's parent's last night, Tom's Mom Ann noticed that Tom's head was turning a rosy pink color (Tom's wife doesn't notice these things).  So Tom, concerned that he might look STUPID if he got a sunburn on his head, went inside to get a hat.  And he came out wearing. . well, you can see what he came out wearing.

I hardly knew what to say, I just felt it was important to capture this image so ALL THE WORLD will know the challenges I face at home on a daily basis.

There was a period of adjustment for all of us, but luckily 2 things happened 1) the alcohol we were consuming had begun to take effect and 2) it was time to go inside and TAKE OFF THE HAT.

Then ANOTHER odd/frightening event occured.  I was about to throw something in the trash when I noticed this perfectly hideous hat sitting in the top of the garbage.   Initally I was confused, how can there be a hideous hat in my garbage when I can CLEARLY see the hideous hat Tom had worn earlier on the coffee table?  I'm at a loss as to how to explain what transpired following my discovery; not only was I horrified to learn that there was more than ONE hideous hat in Tom's collection, but this one even TOM deemed unfit to wear (primarily due to it's smaller size).  HOWEVER, turns out Tom's Dad BOB was happy to learn that this hat, from the garbage, was now available for HIS use.



Suffice to say, I will not be ending this blog post with "where does he GET this from?".
