I discovered more good music - Townes Van Zandt.
Why did you let me go through life not knowing about this guy?
And there you have it, folks. The reason I am unfazed by nasty e-mails from strangers is that all of my energy is required to defend myself from oppression by my own children. Long before I was failing to please all of my blog readers all of the time I was striking out in the Good Mother game. So I'm sorry, cranky blog readers, but you people are a dime a dozen and you're just the tiniest blips on my radar screen.
Tristan, I apologize for failing to provide you with the complete musical education you deserved. Yes, I did follow the Texas troubadours in my younger days (Oh! I don't think I ever told you about Jerry Jeff Walker, either) and "Pancho and Lefty" (Van Zandt's version, not Willie's) was always a favorite of mine. I really should have shared that with you.

I'm with you, sister. Since both of mine are in middle school now, and are obviously learning to think critically, every answer to their questions is met with a raised eyebrow and an "Are you sure?"
Not their teachers, you understand. Just me.
Hi Brenda!
Just wanted to let you know I enjoy reading your blog. The No Rules, just tripe did make me smile though!
I don't understand why some people feel the need to attack bloggers. They obviously don't have enough work/hobbies/interests to amuse them.
And good luck with all the men you are having to deal with!

Thanks, Katie.
Robyn, isn't it delicious to think that someday their kids will do it to them? I just hope we're around to see it!
Tristan, don't drive like your brother. See you soon. XOXOX.
The music thing...yet another reason Tristan should come to Texas more often. (what happened to the August trip?)
There was a time (yes, I am that old!) when you could see Townes Van Zandt in Austin.
Just a suggestion -Why don’t you encourage them to join the national guards? They desperately need more recruits (we need them here badly enough and in Iraq) and the benefits you get are very good. Also, the screening are not so rigid now, so it is easier to get in. It will be a good discipline for them. And very character forming. Plus, they get to play with real guns (it’s certainly a fact that lots of men, Americans in particular, love their guns and are passionate about it - go NRA!!!). Plus, we get to support our beloved Christian President and his Christian ideals.
