Going over the menu for tomorrow’s open house:
- Lasagna (with my wife’s 1st rate sauce) 3
- One Spiral Ham
- My wife’s awesomely fantastic Chicken wings.
- My wife’s friend’s Chili
- Meatballs and sauce
- Rendezvous dip and crackers
- Veggie Tray
- Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 2 Pineapple Pies
- Pistachios
- Mint M & M’s
- Barbara’s Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
Usually the kids also buy pizza for some reason, I don’t see why with all that food. This doesn’t include any foods that any other guests bring.
There will be assorted soft drinks and some hard drinks for the over 21 crowd but it is officially BYOB. Hope to see you there.
The War on the net continues as the spokesman for the IDF has started his own blog.
It’s a pretty smart move and a great way to bypass the media.
It will be interesting if Hamas and their guys decide to do the same.

Due to the water leaks in the house last night I was up 1:30 a.m. filling out the FAFSA form for my oldest son.
You would think that with no job his prospect of financial aid would be pretty good, however my “estimated expected contribution” displayed at the end was 25k. That is more than half of my wife’s gross pay (or mine if I was still working) and a whole lot more than all the money I have in every bank account my family has.
It looks like scrimping and saving to send him to a good Catholic High School may have the end result of forcing him into a cheap state college.
