20060610 KDDC Graduation Party


Graduation Party

Caroline and I had the opportunity to attend a wonderful graduation party Saturday afternoon.

I have written it before and I will write it again that we are very fortunate to have many fantastic young adults making their way up the leadership ranks these days.

We met many wonderful folks and neighbors at one of Westminster’s finer homes. The food was marvelous. My only remark on the food, is that for a family with so many traditional southern traits – where were the grits? After-all, grits goes with everything.

20060610 KDDC The Airstrike meets the Beastie Boys

The Airstrike remix by Allahpundit

(Note - To see the video released by Centcom on You Tube, go here. "Zarqawi Airstrike: CENTCOM-released video of the strike that got Zarqawi.)"

To see the remix with the Beastie Boys, "Sabotage" overlaid - go here.

I found this by way of Michelle Malkin, Hot Air and You Tube. Unless you are registered with You Tube, don't go to that web-site for 'Beastie Boys remix' video, it has been flagged. I'm registered - it does not take that long nor is it difficult, I'm just still at the stage where registering for all these web-sites is a hassle...

This video is done by Allahpundit.

Hot Air inroduces it by saying:

Dedicated to all the brothers and sisters at Yearly Kos, who I know would enjoy this little bit of triumphalism as much as I do.

As much as we have enjoyed the unusually mild, pleasant and cool Maryland spring. Caroline and I are looking forward to summer cookouts. Pictured above is a great cookout that Caroline and enjoyed while we were visiting San Diego last September. The hot dogs were superb.

20060609 KDDC Women’s Club Basket Bingo fundraiser

The Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire Department social hall was the place to be this Friday evening as about 200 basket bingo-ers were out in full force.

They all came out to support the Westminster Women’s Club’s fundraising event to purchase defibrillators for the Carroll County Agriculture Center’s Shipley Arena.

Caroline, Grammy and I attended. I enjoyed chowing down on the food provided by the Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary.

Hat’s off to the Westminster Women’s Club and everyone who worked hard to make this event a success.

If you would like to make a donation to help the Carroll County Agriculture Center purchase defibrillators, please make a check out to: Westminster Woman's Club, P.O. Box 242, Westminster, Md. 21158. For more information, contact Jo Harp Past -President at chinookersmom@yahoo.com.

20060608 KDDC rock, paper, scissors

Rock, paper, scissors

This was dinner conversation this evening with friends at Johansson's in Westminster. I found it via Wonkette... which led me to "Under Their Robes," a blog which features "News, gossip, and colorful commentary about the federal judiciary." Please enjoy.

Oh - Under Their Robes is a fun site also. You may wanna bookmark it.

Be sure to read this.

I'll go ahead and paste a copy of the order at the bottom of this post.

The teaser pasted below came from the New York Sun:

June 08, 2006

The Wisdom of Solomon?

"Faced with the inability of two bickering attorneys to resolve even the most innocuous scheduling questions without his intervention, a Florida federal judge yesterday ordered the two to meet on the steps of the federal courthouse and resolve their latest quarrel by playing 'one game of 'rock, paper, scissors,'" Fortune reports. Underneath Their Robes (via Wonkette)"is nothing short of awesome."
