Monthly Mailbag, 2nd Edition
Since the last mailbag I did, I’ve had exactly ZERO inquiries about what’s new in our world. So, since I have no mail to respond to, I get to do whatever I want. And what I want is to post some videos. Because, if nothing else, I’m pretty cool when it comes to knowing about viral internet videos.

Miroki Loves Davey – A Boy and His Dog
Music Selection:
Brett Dennen – Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog)
The Boy got a hold of the camera a while back and since I really have no other new photos of note to share, I’ll let his do the talking.
Lately, The Boy has really locked in on one of the dogs being his favorite.
Since you don’t hang out with us all the time, being that you’re on the internet, and we are in real life, allow me to explain.
This is Davey. She also has other names but mostly Davey is her real name.
He was in the truck with me the other night while Davey went for her nightly walk and he was talking to her like she was a real person.
Bye, Davey! Bye, Davey! Bye, Davey!
DAVEY! BYE! BYE BYE DAVEY!
I don’t have a real good explanation why he suddenly decided this is his favorite dog out of the three who live at our house. But I think these pictures are a pretty good indicator that I’m not making it up.

Apologies for the gross oversight earlier..I forgot to include a video. Why don’t you enjoy suffer through The Boy’s favorite video right now?
We took The Boy to see his first ever movie in a theater last weekend. It was Cars 2 and if our experience was any indication, we don’t plan to attend another movie for a long, long time.
It’s not that the movie was bad* or that it was overpriced^. It’s that he did everything he could to act like a maniac for most of the movie. Jumping up and down in the aisles, talking loudly, making loud noises and screaming at the movie screen, and also rapidly vacillating between hating and loving the movie, often in a span of 60 seconds between the two ends of the spectrum.
It needs to be said though, that in the grand scheme of things, it was completely worth it. I mean, movies are great right? It’s hard to beat completely unplugging in a movie theater for an hour or so and getting blasted with noises and pictures. That’s pretty good copywriting no? They should hire me to write their next ad for TV. It might go something like this,
“NOISES! LOUD NOISES! MUSIC! LOUD MUSIC! PICTURES! IN VIBRANT 3-D! IN YOUR FACE! IN! YOUR! FACE!!!”
and scene.
Admit it, you want to go to the movies now don’t you!
And just for the record, I did this. Admit it, you’re jealous.

Your Youtube selection of the week is Search and Destroy by Iggy and the Stooges. See below for more information.
A recent conversation with The Boy while watching a baseball game. It might have been the College World Series or it could have just been the ‘Stros but since they are so forgettable, I’ve already erased the exact game from my memory.
W: Are you going to be a baseball player when you grow up?
D: No. I’m going to be a hockey player
W: Oh Really?! Why don’t you show me some of your hockey moves?
D: Like this. Skate, skate, skate.
(pause)
D: I guess I need to learn how to skate first
(pause)
D: Maybe I can just walk and play hockey.
And just like a hockey player, he had his first real injury this week.
It seems that he fell while playing on ‘the spinny’ at school and bumped his incredibly hard and durable noggin. I can assure you it took some force to crack this titanium cranium.
He got two staples and was back destroying and pillaging before the sun went down. They don’t call him Moose for no reason.
If you didn’t know, injuries of this type run in the family. Sometime, when I have less to do, I’ll tell the story of the day I went to the emergency room twice in the span of about 10 hours. For different injuries. One of which required plastic surgery. He’ll be fine. I assure you. Could a face like this tell a lie?
