I don't really have time for a full on post today, so I will just do some bullets:

• Thing 2 is still in the hospital.  He had surgery on Friday to repair something in his throat.  He is doing well.
• Thing 1 and my sister are home from the hospital.  The Cat (formerly Damien, although he still acts like his namesake), evidently thinks that Thing 1 is a play toy.  Not good.
• Father's Day was good.  My gift was that I didn't have to go to a 3 1/2 year olds birthday party at Monkey Joe's (the twins birthday is a couple of days after Christmas, so their mom celebrates the birthday on their half birthday). 
• I used my time to myself wisely.  I spent it cooking a couple racks of ribs that I picked up at the farmer's market.  They weren't as good a the last ones I bought at the farmer's market, but still worlds better than what you find at the grocery store.  (I got some brisket for later too...)
• Mr. B starts Vacation Bible School in like 20 minutes.  I should probably stop yapping here and get a move on.
• At least I didn't have Jasper's weekend.  He'll tell you all about it later.

That's about it.
