No but you should have heard my speech at the reception.

brag alert. My brothers and BILs all had good speeches at theirs. I used visual aids and did a little Karnak-esque style of speech. It was one of my better moments. My wife insists my comedy peaked that day and has been on a drastic decline since then.

After my bride had clearly fallen in love with the mic and had been talking for quite a while a few times she handed it to me to say my piece. I simply said that I had learned in this family the women prefer their men to be seen and not heard. I handed the mic back to her, sat back down and raised my beer. I still think I got the biggest laugh of the night, despite all Mrs. Velo's efforts. Her Uncle - also married into that family - pulled me aside as soon as he could and said with a laugh that I had that family figured out. He still brings that up to me from time to time.

Playing the strong silent type explains why we are still waiting for your RAGBRAI summary report. :smile:

Hey, Minnesota has a baby tapir and you don't! BTW, gals, 13 month gestation period. :)

We never got a glimpse of the last one. It was never out when we went.

Aren't they in the elephant family? African Elephant - 24 month gestation period. For most mothers it only seems like they are pregnant for two years.

Just wait until Cowgirl gets pregnant. She'll be complaining about it for half a decade.

Hopefully she will be lucky and not have a bad one. It's almost annoying how you can't totally explain the process to encourage new moms since everyone has a different experience.
 
We had the privilege to have parent firsts this week. Z had a small stomach virus (no fever) and threw up part of one day. She got it over with in the morning and has been well since.

I barrowed my friend's carpet cleaner for the living room though. I might have to wash the carpet again though. Any anti-smell ideas?

You could always mask the smell by moving into Mtown's basement

When it happened in our car they used some kind of citrus cleaner. After 2 or 3 attempts it was gone.
