Seriously, Hal?

I've shared with all of you the events surrounding my birth, including how my mom went and bought 50 pounds of Purina dog food on the day that I was born...and how my dad was hired by the US GOVERNMENT and probably more excited about that than about having another baby?

Well I just came across this DOOZY.

Readers, when I was ONE DAY OLD, fragile and tiny, deserving of undivided attention by both of my parents, my dad went and bought a 3 1/2 x 13 Taylor Made Hull-Gard Boat Fender at Marks Marine. He must have been excited about his new job and decided to treat himself. Also, we had a boat? That would have been fun. 




What the heck is a Taylor Made Hull-Gard Boat Fender, you ask?


I don't know. It's this. And it hurts my feelings.

  1. Have you ever wondered where the dog dummies come from? He buys boat bumpers, and wraps them in the middle with jute rope and adds a rope on the end to throw it. He did not buy a boat until 1990. Mystery solved? Maybe I kicked him out of the house that day and told him to go out and play. I think I was scrubbing the floors.
