partner par excellence

Mr. Blog gets a GOLD STAR with fluffy edges for being a helpful and industrious partner with household chores of both the indoor and outdoor sort. He EMPTIED THE DISHWASHER and MADE THE BED, even as he was managing the irrigation and fetched a sifting screen from Mean Gene the Dancing Machine. Thank you for all of your help, dearie.

unnoticed, til now

Mr. Blog receives a long overdue GOLD STAR with moldy edges for faithfully bringing home coffee grounds to feed the roses. Working in obscurity these long lonesome years has brought scant praise. This GOLD STAR aims to correct the oversight. Praise be to you, Mr. Blog! The roses and I thank you.

Prize Passenger

Sherm is awarded this GOLD STAR with a leather jacket for overcoming her fear — or enough of it — to accompany me on the Ducati 750 to Bernalillo Saturday. This demonstrates that the Benelli ride two weeks ago to Indian buffet was not just an anomaly. Way to go, brave Sherm!
