And it came to pass. . . I like cheese >> Und es begab sich. . . Ich Käse gern



(Author's note: This was written in September of 2011. . . Fail)

            So, here it is: the explanation of our silence. First, there was the filibuster of the first post. Then I created a Second post to replace it for the time being. Then. . . I started working, and just a few weeks ago I posted the “first” post. Katrina and I haven't really had time to write. Not that many people are reading this. . . Maybe one. But still, one reader is far better than none.
            Here's the thing, I am going to try to post more (meaning, more often than once a month). Here is the basic structure I am going probably fall into:
            -Awesome Title
            -At least one phrase in a foreign language ('cause those are cool)
            -Something funny that's happened recently (Give my story telling skills some practice)
            -Any pertinent news about. . . anything.
            -Something cryptic
            -Occasional other stories or writings that I feel inclined to post
            -Other things that I can't think of doing at the moment, just because I haven't done them yet

            Okay, check list:
-Awesome title? DONE! 
-Foreign language? DONE! 
-Something funny. . . recent. Hmmmmm. . .  (Author's note from 2014: Kinda failed at being recent.)

            Got it. Post link to article. Adult children's 'bad mothering' lawsuit dismissed: Courts>> “Emotional distress” alleged due to failure to buy toys, bad birthday card.

            . . . I thought it was a joke. I'm still have hoping that it is a joke. PLEASE tell me it's a joke!The 'evidence' against their mother includes a cartoon tomato on a birthday card, and verbal testimony about curfew times, arguments over the proper budgeting of, what I call, 'the party dress fund', and telling her then 7 year old boy to buckle his seat belt. . . and they tried to sue her for $50,000!
           Um. . . okay. Make of that what you will. This is the subject matter I would see in humorous  fictional news journal. This is the sort of article I would WRITE for a humorous fictional news journal.
           
            I think that covers both something funny, and pertinent news.

            “That that is is that that is not is not is that it” Make sense of that jumble of words by inserting proper punctuation.

            Das ist alles. Aufweitersehn!
