    Stan the dog is on the mend!! Paws crossed! After emptying our bank account in vet bills (dog care this week cost roughly a 42" plasma HDTV) and shaving years off our lives in worry, Stan is eating again, if not drinking. Yesterday, his more than $600 in sonograms (!) showed no cancer and no terrible ticker problem.  He's most likely got a pancreas issue.  And apparently, one of the treaments for this is no food or water.  And so, Stan laying in a heap not eating or drinking was possiby healing himself using ancient dog wisdom.  If only he had told us, we might be enjoying high-def Yankees games, instead of what we're doing now...sitting in front of a radio and glaring at his furry ass.  Here's a video from this weekend I didn't want to post for fear he was dying.  Thanks Thor, he ain't.  

     

    Tonight, I'm leaving on a jet plane. Do know when I'll be back again: Sunday afternoon. But I'll be blogging from the road.  I'm leaving Hugo for the first time ever to go see this writer/professor friend in Florida from my Comedy Central days.  BTW, y'all should buy "Pornhounds" her original autobiographical comicbook and if you're a big studio you should option it for a movie/TV series.

    Man unit will be caring for Hugo and I'll be providing guidance on how to insert food into baby (mouth only!), how to find the butter (in the butter section of the fridge) and not leave the stove on (this one's going to be a toughie).  OK I am of course milking this for comic effect.  My husband is not retarded.  He's just a man (incurable) and I am just a psycho worry wart (a mom).

    Special thanks for my ability to get to the airport goes to S. and Finnegan, as they will be covering Hugo care this evening until man unit comes home.  I hate asking favors, I far prefer giving them.  I am however, extremely massively grateful for S. and her kind babysitting help.  And so if Finnegan wants a pony? It's his.  

     Speaking of comic effect, this recent piece from 23/6 is hella funny.  Check it out:

    "New study confirms anecdotal evidence: kids aren't worth it"

    Thanks Internet and more soon, including me flipping out being away from babe or me dancing on a tabletop due to being away from babe.
