Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

What’s really funny is that In Budapest is the name of my favorite Ella Fitzgerald recording. I only realized this when I typed that into the Title field just now!

ANYWAY, I am pleased to report that Dad (aka “Parental Unit”) is blogging from their trip. Make sure you keep a watch on 1 Boring Old Man. Here’s an excerpt from the first trip-related post:

Like most places we’ve been in the world. The first day of a trip is about the differences. After that, it’s about the similarities.

Winston Stupid

On my way out to the Apex parade, and I’m remembering something very funny. A few years ago, I was out at the Office Lounge (this – dare I say – "redneck" bar) in Bloomington, Indiana for karaoke. It was the night of July 3rd. At midnight, things got really patriotic with songs like "And I’m Proud to Be An American." We weren’t the only group of cocky grad students there that night. There was one other. And one of the guys, who was completely trashed, screamed out, "Booooo, Britain! Tony Blair SUCKS!" with the best line being, "Winston Churchill?! More like Winston STUPID!!"
