"Dirty Healthy Rats!"
Isaac forward this article to me via e-mail, hoping that I would reverse the ban on toilet-play.

isn't this ironicle
I've personally verified this Microsoft conspiracy to keep a republican in office:
If you're a Windows user, open Notepad and type in this phrase, without the quote marks and with no carriage return: "Bush hid the facts". Now save it and open it again.

a conversation between my dad and I
dad: "here's a picture of a dog we ate."
daniel: "wow! ...can you send me that for my blog?"
dad: "sure."
thoughtful pause...
daniel: "I can't believe you ate a dog!"
dad: "it tasted like beef jerky"
thoughtful pause...
daniel: "what kind of dog was it??"
dad: "a dog that made too much noise while I was preaching."
thick silence.
daniel: "is that *why* you ate a dog?"
dad: "I don't know...
it was just making a lot of noise.
Then it got quiet...
...Then later, we ate it."
note: out of fairness to Rev. Dr. Bill Rudd, this did occur in a different hemishphere on a medical missinos trip.
some people just need a hug
So, I met this guy.
He was one of those "just want to punch him in the face" kind of people.
Something about demeanor was very antagonistic...
...as if he had been placed on this earth, just to attract aggression.
I don't think anyone had ever given him a chance.
You know, treated him like a human being...
who needed to be loved unconditionally.
Sometimes a little love and understanding, can really change things.
It did for Bob.
my older brother Andrew happened to be nearby, ready to document this story with a camera.

Language Skills: (cross post)
The boys are learning new ways to communicate.
They're mastering the essentials of sign language "more" "please" "eat" "cup"
They are beginning to verbalize many things.
Isaac is unable to say, "outside"
He can only shriek it (with exuberant delight).
But it is clearly the word "outside", accompanied by a race toward the door and wild pointing.
Will now shrieks too, not as recognizably, but we get it.
When Isaac sees a dog he points and says "doug"
When Isaac sees anything moving on the grass he points and says "doug"
Will likes to say Mama or derivatives beginning with M and ending with Mahh or Meee.
But what ever Will lacks in linguistics, he makes up for in passion and delivery.
He has all the non-verbals right.
He shrugs his shoulders and raises his open hands.
He nods his head to emphasize an authoritative syllable (this non-verbal will be hereafter represented by this symbol: ^).
Sometimes, in utter frustration, he drops his hands to the ground and lets out a huge sigh, synchronized with slightly rolling eyes. [I have had an UBELIEVABLY long day!]
****
Isaac loves to say "Hot."
I originally explained that he could not have my coffee because it was "hot." I put a little extra sizzle on the word "hot". I wanted "hot" to be clearly dangerous. As if the word itself might burn him.
Isaac loves danger. ...and so he loves to say "hot" --with sizzle.
Every morning he comes to the couch where I (and/or Andrea) have parked with my coffee.
He points to the coffee and says. "Haaaaaaaa ot!"
Daniel: "Hot Coffee"
Isaac: "Hot daw ee"
Will: (waddling over with outstretched pointer finger)
"Ma.. Mammeeee!"
Daniel: "Hot Coffee" (with a little more emphatic enunciation)
Will: "Ma.. MAAMEE!" (with corresponding escalation)
Daniel: "Good job will, try again: 'Hot Coffee'
Will [with some serious passion, and forceful pointing]:
"MAAA! MAAAMEEE!"
^ ^^ ^ ^^
He'll argue with me until lunch if I let him.

At lunch a few days ago, I came up from my office to find Andrea working with Isaac on "apple sauce."
Andrea: "Apple Sauce"
Isaac: "daawwwce"
Andrea: "APPLE ...sauce"
Isaac: "ANdle daawwce"
Will [clearly annoyed with Isaac's ineptitude, and punctuating each sylabil with a severe and rhythmic tilting of his forehead.] :
"maaaw MAHHH!"

Let's Clear the Air
I hate rumors so let's just address them straight on.
1: Yes, I have been walking around my neighborhood wearing a large wooden structure with two children attached to it.
2: No, I do not believe (nor have I been proclaiming) that God has any immanent plans to destroy the earth with a flood. (I even saw a rainbow this morning).
Now that we've settled this, let's move on to some important business.
You may want to review this just in case.
