Possumblog

Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Ouch.

Even WITH the Demerol.

As an aside, Janis mentions in her post of yesterday that her daddy in-law's name is Big Daddy. By an odd happenstance, my dad's dad was Big Daddy, too. His wife was Big Mama. And Reba's mother's dad was Big Daddy. But let me just say this--if I ever, EVER hear another stage play in which the actors put on their fake Southern accents and say 'bigDADDY' instead of 'BIGdaddy', I believe I will scream.

Accent on the FIRST word!

(As an even further aside--this is one of those rare cases in which size truly does not matter--both Reba's and my grandfather were both slight to the point of scrawniness.)

{To go well beyond all reason with a continued series of asides, one of the guys I used to work with [I think he went to Ole Miss, or maybe Southern Miss...Hi John! Heheee...] had a set of relatives named Uncle Dick and Aunt WeeWee.}
