Just a few of the items floating through the mental in-box of ALS Boy these past few days.
The San Francisco Giants converged on the White House today to celebrate last year’s World Series Championship with President Obama. No truth to the rumor that Brian Wilson’s Beard was forced to go through additional security screening before meeting the Commander in Chief.
Showtime is the new HBO, at least when it comes to programming series recordings on our DVR. Shows like Weeds, The Big C, and The Franchise, A Season with the SF Giants, summer tv never looked so good.
Happy Birthday to my mom. She would have been 65 today.
This is where I give a shout-out to all my friends and readers at 3M in Minnesota. Thank you for your support.
So happy to have my girls home after the weekend away.
Breaking News: Emma just pointed to the tv and said, “That’s Barack Obama,” as he spoke right now during his debt address.
This is where I throw NNN under the bus. Nani hated the movie Catfish. Nana merely disliked it. He kept waiting for it to start.
Have you seen the new Jack in the Box commercial for their Really Big Chicken Sandwich? They claim to serve it with meltING cheese. Somehow, I don’t believe that to be true.
There’s nothing cuter than hearing Emma say the word mortadella.
Finally, I have a question for you. Would you rather time travel back to the past or go into the future? Feel free to explain why in your answer.
The Adventures of ALS Boy 
It would be fun to travel back in time to meet my parents (and my in-laws) in their early years together….before we (the kids) complicated their lives 🙂
ohhh definitely PAST. So many things… see my boys romping around at ages 4 and 7 or something like that, have a really good time with my Mom and of course Marie. Give Judy some large hugs.
I’m a sap but I get weepy each time I see that scene in Peggy Sue Got Married when her Grandma calls on the phone… Just love that movie: she hugs her baby sister and gets all gooey with her and the sister thinks she’s nutso.
The future — to boldly go where no one has gone before!
The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that time travel is impossible.
Damn the Vulcans! I just need to find a Borg sphere to generate a temporal vortex through the controlled emission of chronometric particles.
Depends which part of the past. That week on the beach in Thailand would be a nice place to go back to. Seventh grade would not.
Time travel. Funny you bring this up now because my across-street neighbor loaned me a book last week that I would never have picked up on my own. It’s called “Time and Again” by Jack Finney, and it’s a fascinating book about, er, time travel, back to January 1882. It’s a great read, well written, so descriptive of the era.

Well would this be like The Butterfly Effect where a trip back would mess up everything in the present? If so, then back to the future!
The past. Put it this way; Back to the Future was much more fun than BttF II. :0
I can think of many places in the past that would be nice to visit again (and I agree with Roseanne… middle school would definitely not be a place to revisit!), but then again, I know how that ends. So I would pick the future. I’d like to see how this ride turns out in the next few years so I can feel a little more equipped to handle it! And we need audio of Emma saying “mortadella.” Does she just say it cute-wrong or does she pronounce it with authentic Italian syllabic stress? My son’s cute word is “eskimo.” He thinks it’s a three-letter word: “xmo!”
If I could still marry Jimmy and have Nattie and Harry… I would go back to college. Care free, looking fit and foxy, in love with my college beau…traveling to Greece with my best friend… aahhhhh… the relaxed state of mind sounds so good right now…. hoping retirement gets me back to that place again. However, I do think once we have kids, the worry never really ends~ does it?
I miss your Mom lots….Happy Birthday Judy
