NOVEMBER 2008: “Shit Goes Wrong When I'm Alone...”
(NOTE: Newcomers, who'd like to get an idea of what this site is all about, would be well-advised to click on "2005 Pages" and read that introduction. Enjoy!)
I swear, every time TC leaves I suffer some trauma or other. The first time, for you veterans of our travails, Tipper wound up spending a night up a tree and I wound up with heart arrhythmia due to the stress. The second time I nearly fell and broke my neck while switching antennas on the roof due to five days without Internet (we have wireless DSL). And the time before this last one, something struck Tipper in the eye, causing her to lose its sight and causing me to lose one of my few remaining wits. Well, during TC's last absence, fortunately, it wasn't Tipper, me or any of the animals, although it was critters: TERMITES!
Each morning for three days I woke up to find trails of them going up the walls of Ingaso. I sprayed enough insect killer to wipe out Them (click the image for a larger version), but despite vigilant evening inspections, there would be a new trail the next morning, one of which went up the inside wall of our bedroom while I was sleeping! "HELP!"
Well, with the aid of our friend, Gustavo, who called our Spanish-speaking-only fumigator for me, the fumigator came the fourth morning to put an end to the invasion. Subsequently, TC discovered that hot water laced with a lot of Oxy-Clean, and applied by me with a stiff scrub brush will take the termite trails off the walls. That was fun...NOT!
Okay, enough of that. Let's see, for those of you who don't know, TC got her degree in poli-sci, one of those careers that just keeps on giving. So, what that means is, when she gets involved with an election, she GETS INVOLVED WITH AN ELECTION! In fact, I think the only reason she became a graphical designer was to make campaign signs.
Tikkers—as our Sedona friend, Dennis, likes to call her—caught Obamania long ago, so decided to have a 2008 Election Night Party for other like-minded folk (although I think a few conservatives snuck-in for the snacks). At any rate, there's only a couple of pictures to document that wonderful night, but for me the one here says it all—when she's happy, I'm happy! (Click on it for a larger version, then click here for the latest Casa Ingaso gallery.)
We attended another party recently, a Halloween Party. A friend held her...second?...annual Halloween party, this one in her gorgeous new home, and TC being TC was all het up to go. And me being me, not so much. It was the hat that killed my poopy beast. (You'll understand after you see the photos...)
First, I should aplogize to all you none Altoids and non-Panamá friends, because I've included a lot of photos just for us. Still, I think everyone will find something to laugh at—that's my "career" after all; my degree is in court jestering!
At any rate, it was the first Halloween party I've attended since Rocky drank raw eggs. And I found that, since I now know what I want to be when I grow up, enjoying myself comes much easier. What do I want to be when I grow up, I hear you ask? A senior citizen. (Click here for the Halloween Party gallery.)
Okay, that leaves just one more gallery, the best gallery, the one I enjoy putting together the most, the one that depicts the loves of my life: Our Crazy Animals! And there's some crazy funny photos, too. (I'll tell ya, you couldn't do much better than to come back as one of our furry friends.)
And that's all folks! Again, thanks to all of you who elected to remain on our mailing list. We hope you never come to regret that decision, and we hope you get lots of amusement from our efforts. Also, TC wants to thank you again for keeping me out of her hair while I put this all together. "Huh?"
Oh, and again, if you're reading this and would like to be added to our email-notification list, just click HERE and send the email that pops up, no message necessary. I will only add your address to the list; I won't sell it or use it or send you obscene messages...well, unless you want me to send you obscene messages. At any rate, you'll receive an email whenever I add another home page or gallery. Don't worry, that's only about every other month or so.
“Hasta la vista, primos!”
