Enough!


I have now heard from no less than six people this week regarding how bad my blogging habits are, and to those people I say this;

Let he or she who hath been posting consistently cast the first stone.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Shut up, Jeff.

I am truly sorry for my recent absence in the blogosphere, and solemnly I vow to make at least a half hearted attempt for the next week or two to communicate with all my loyal fans. (Hi , Mom.)

Since we left you with the grim short story below, several things have happened at the offices of The Pinyon.

First off, let's get these out of the way. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy 29th Birthday to me! Happy Black History Month! And finally, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

On to the real information...

First and foremost,

I AM AN UNCLE.

On March 13th, three days after her own 24th birthday, my little sister Claire gave birth to the new generation of the Dobosh clan, an 8lb. 4 oz. baby boy! His name, is Maveric, (that's right Ice...Man) and like his uncle he is hung like a horse. Or so I'd like everyone to think.

So, congratulations to Claire and her awesome husband Pal. One piece of advice, it's never too early to start working on the kid's ball handling abilities. Only good fundamentals can get him a scholarship.

I'm no college basketball scout (anymore, thank you Dayton Flyers), but he looks like a 3 to me, if he's a little taller than his dad, maybe a 4, but a shooting 4.

On to the next, and only slightly less important, piece of news:

I AM A NEW PET OWNER.

On Christmas Eve of last year, I obtained what has been scientifically determined to be the Cutest Kitten on Earth. It is a girl kitten and her name is Gozer. Is it strange and sad that both my nephew and new kitty are named after characters in 80's movies? Probably.

Regardless, I love my little Goze-toes and I'm sure you will too, once you've had a chance to see this...

See what I mean about the cuteness? Oh, you don't? Take this!

And now, to prove that she is indeed my kitten, and also that she is indeed alive...

And that's how I lost my right eye.

More kitten stories to follow.

You've been warned.
