Dad here; today's post will be short, as to leave room for a Bultaco update after mom hopefully gets him x-rayed today. Sleeping conditions have been further compromised at the Casa; I awoke at 0300 with a little round chihuahua butt perfectly molded into my right armpit, a snoring Charlie hanging off of my right hip like Hans Solo's blaster, and a wiry Max trying to assimilate himself into my left kidney.

Dad here; I have a good friend with Down's Syndrome who once told me "I have three boyfriends; and one of them's a Mexican!"
