Hammer Time!

Cade can spend hours on end screaming. I'm not exaggerating. I sit in the office and listen to him scream the entire time I am there. Poor Anna has to listen to this up close.
Katie gets Meals on Wheels delivered everyday. The other day the guy was handing her her bag in front of the office, and she looked at it and said that it wasn't the right one. The guy asked her if that was her last name on the bag, and she said 'no.' Then she took the bag into the office and showed me. Sure enough, her last name was printed plain as day on the bag. I knew she was illiterate. I did not know that she could only recognize her name if both the first and last name were present.
Last Friday, Anna and I went to Cincinnati to watch the Rockies play the Reds. Before the game started, we heard the public address announcer mention that MC Hammer was there. I didn't really pay attention to what all he said about him, but I thought that that was kind of weird and cool. Anna leaned over to me and said that all she wanted was to hear MC Hammer sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame," and sure enough, when it came time for the seventh inning stretch, Hammer was there leading the stadium in song. We laughed and thought that was pretty cool, and then we heard that not only would there be a fireworks show after the game because it was a Friday night, but MC Hammer would have a concert after the game as well. Yeah, it was that awesome. I had never in my life imagined I'd go to a ball game and get to see "U Can't Touch This" and "Too Legit to Quit" performed live (Sara, I could only think of you as I watched him do his famous dance movies). The fireworks were pretty sweet as well. As Anna said, there were four or five times when we thought "surely this must be the finale" and would have gone away very impressed, but they just kept going.
The problem with me become terrible at updating this blog is that I always forget all the good stuff I have to write about. Now it will never be remembered and is disappearing into nothingness.
I don't know what to tell you, my faithful readers. I fail.
I have started doing the same question answering service as Anna, and I keep wanting to end all of my statements with the sign out phrase I use on there. It bothers me.
Chief is bad.
Howie is good.
Poop Face smells like poop.
I killed 27 horse flies today. I used a broom.
Red.
I picked up the new Haste the Day and Norma Jean albums. I am disappointed with Haste the Day, but I really like the new Norma Jean.
