Thank You

I want to thank my readership for their overwhelming response to my last blog post. They were concerned about my well-being and reiterated that my celebrity reporting was one of the highlights of their otherwise mundane lives. Strengthened by their support, I will soldier on.

As always, there has been a lot going on in the world of the stars. I have it from reliable sources that K-Fed will soon be nominated for Father of the Year. And Keith Richards seems to be recovering well from his Fiji accident. I had read a while back that after surgery he was alert and speaking with his family. He hadn’t done that in years so the surgery was clearly a major success.

There was a recent article on AOL that stated "Being Pregnant is Suddenly Hip" and with both Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears in a family way, they were right on the money. Right now Anna and Brit are busy studying the pronunciation of various African countries. I’d just like to say that I deplore all the jokes about going for a dip in the shallow end of the gene pool and I hope the births will be as peaceful as Shiloh’s. I also wanted to check with the common people if being pregnant was hip so I asked my wife if that’s how she had felt. I can’t print her response since this is a family blog.

Speaking of family, my daughter got confirmed at Grace Cathedral in SF yesterday. It was a beautiful event that was only slightly and briefly marred by a spat my wife and I had. I had gotten to the church early so I was assigned the task of saving seats for the rest of the family. I had saved what I thought was sufficient space for the family but my wife clarified that that was not the case. When asked for specifics on how many seats she had wanted, she said “a bunch”. With crystalline direction like that, I do not know how I failed. I shouldn’t have left my set of velvet ropes at home. Fortunately we made up during the sign of the peace.

My older son was confirmed there a few years back. I had been hoping he would go into the family business and take over my blog some day but he has other plans. He wants to go to med school and specialize in dermatology. He hopes to make a mint in what is widely expected to be the burgeoning field of laser tattoo removal.
