I got to watch the Fighting Irish manhandle the Skunkbears from section 110 of Notre Dame Stadium, one foot on one side of the 50, the other on the other.

Back to Hartford ... Sort of
It's been about 20 years since my summer in Hartford, CT, on that internship for Aetna, and I haven't been there since. But now I get to spend about 36 hours in the area, this time for a non-business purpose: Covering Adrian Dantley's induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame for ND's Scout Network site.
Thank goodness for Southwest Airlines getting me in there on Thursday night, I don't have to trek up to O'Hare (again). And then I get to indulge my railfan side, taking Amtrak home via Washington DC.

Sometimes You Just Know you Got It Right
14 years ago right now, I was bowling with my friends in St. Clairsville, OH, about to embark on the wonderful adventure that has been my marriage to BL.
To say I've got my personality quirks is probably understating it more than a bit. So the fact I've managed to keep BL convinced for that long that being married to me is a net positive in her life should, as the late George Carlin once said, go down on my record as a positive achievement.
It takes fortitude, after all, to still laugh on drives to and from Cambridge on I-70 when your husband takes your hand tenderly and then gives it the ice cream cone treatment because you're driving through Licking County. Lots of to-and-fro trips to South Bend for sporting events isn't easy, and having two chronological children and a third emotional one can be a chore. But it's a chore she's happily taken on ever since that day at St. John's, and don't think for a moment I'm not grateful.
No doubt about it, I married up. Happy anniversary, BL.

And by the way...
...if any of the new readership is wondering where the name came from, I covered it when the blog started.

Mixing My Boxes
My family, both nuclear and extended, has a tendency to make up words and use them as if they were in the normal American lexicon. This has burned me multiple times in my life, particularly when I went to Notre Dame thinking everyone knew what the word "Milenized" meant **. So I've learned the lesson to explain any phraseology that might be out of the ordinary, even if it turns out it ain't.
Everyone has groups of friends. You have your friends from work, your friends you play softball with, your friends you went to high school with, your friends from prison, etc. Usually, you meet and greet with those friends separately because you know them from different places and in different contexts.
But sometimes, like when you have a birthday or your daughter gets married or your son graduates from college, you have an event where more than one group is going to be attending. We always called that "mixing your boxes", and it usually required more deft social juggling than normal.
My physical small motor skills are bad, and my metaphysical ones even worse, so asking me to juggle anything physical or social is like asking a hamster to do long division. But I'm a smart little hamster, so I'm going to give this a try.
The reason my boxes are now mixing can be summed up in one word: Facebook. Maya convinced me to give the social networking website a try, and in about a week, I've learned to navigate pretty well. I've found a number of people I haven't talked to in a long time, including some friends from the Brother Rice Band days, so it's been a pretty enriching experience so far.
But now it comes to blog time, and a roadblock. There's only room for one feed in the application I'm using. Sure, I could jump through hoops with Yahoo Pipes, but I'm not in the mood.
As you may or may not know, I currently author two blogs, and their audiences are very very different. This one, BunnyLips, is titled after an old nickname I had for my wife, and it's original purpose was to disseminate updates about her battle against breast cancer in 2007 (a battle which, thank God, has gone very well) although it has now morphed a little bit into general family news and a place to exercise the writing muscles. The second one, Notes from the Geetar, is part of the NDNation website I run, and is focused on Notre Dame athletics and related subjects.
So how to get both feeds onto the Facebook profile? I decided to link this one, since most of what would be written here would be applicable there. But when I put something on NftG that I want to push through to Facebook, I'm going to link it here, hence the resulting mixing of, as Brian Regan would say, boxen.
NDN folks who aren't familiar with this blog probably need a primer on names. No one goes by their actual name here, a policy I picked up from a good friend who writes a blog I enjoy reading. For various and sundry reasons, she decided to protect the innocent and came up with monikers for the participants so as not to expose their doings to Google searches.
I'll still use regular names on NftG, only because when I talk about someone they definitely deserve to be talked about. But if you're going to read the family stuff, you'll need a scorecard:
Me (duh)
BL, aka BunnyLips, my dear wife
The Princess (my daughter)
The Prince (my son)
Aunt Granola (my vegetarian sister, whose husband doesn't have a moniker yet) and Sprout (her daughter)
Splendid Splinter (my brother)
Aunt Maya (my other sister), The Counselor (her husband), and (introducing) Sonic (their new son, I'll post a pic that will explain the nickname at some point)
Nana (my mom)
Poppy (my dad)
Grandma (my mother-in-law)
PopPop (my father-in-law)
The Flyer (BL's brother), Ava (his wife), Betty & Veronica (their twin daughters)
Non family characters:
Dr. Z (aka Dr. Zhivago), BL's oncologist (who, God forbid, if anyone needs one, is outstanding)
Others get awarded monikers as events warrant,
Anyway, for those who haven't read this blog before, there are some good posts below. Some of the chemo-related stuff gets heavy, but the Disney trip entries are fun, I think. The Puppy Fever entry actually saved us from getting a dog, and "Rosie Ain't Gonna Like It" talks about BL's famous radiologist. Going forward, there'll be a more eclectic mix of shizzle.
** A friend of our family was married to a woman who couldn't stand his brother, Miles. This bad feeling built and built until one day the wife demanded her husband un-invite his brother to a party they were having the next night because she just could not abide the thought of having to spend an evening with him. So when you've been un-invited to an event, for whatever reason, you've been "Milenized". See, it's a perfectly cromulent word.

I've Been Given Permission to Beat my Wife
Well, not really. Not even in a "here's a good stick to beat the lovely lady" sense.
But metaphysically, you betcha.
BL got to cross something off her bucket list on Sunday, as she ran in the Palos Bank Southwest Half-Marathon. This has been in the works for quite a few months now, and she was a demon in her training exercises, culminating in both a 5K and a 10-miler last weekend (after which the kids and Maya and I met her up at Ann Sather for some get-a-cavity-just-smelling-them cinnamon rolls).
The good news is she finished in 2 hours, 45 minutes, which is certainly a hell of a lot better than I'd do. The bad news is she spent most of the rest of the day either laying in bed or staggering around the house reeking of Ben Gay.
After some of the staggering, she informed me that, should she ever start talking about doing something like this again, I'm authorized to grab her by her (lengthening) hair and bang her head against a table until the idea is no longer in her head. Mmmmmmmmm, tables.......
On the medical front, the semi-annual Dr. Z visit was today, and he said everything is looking good. He wants BL to watch her diet a little, as Tamoxifin has a side effect of slight weight gain, so since both of us need to be doing that anyway, the healthy eating light is lit on 107th Street.

Movie Meme
I'm nothing if not a trend-follower, and Lola and Ava already tried this to great success, so here we go (and no, Ava, you're not allowed to consult The Flyer, or at least you have to cite him on the ones he gets).
I'm altering the rules a little bit, because if I limit this to my 10 favorite movies, this'll be a short contest because just about everyone knows what they are.
Der Rules:
1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies. (I went with 20)
2. Go to IMDB (The Prince's favorite website, BTW) and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. Looking them up is cheating. And to protect against it, I've altered the quotes slightly so a Google search isn't as likely to produce the answer.
You can provide answers either on your own blog (if you have one) or in a comment/response to this one (see link below). And put your name after your guess.
Here we go:
1) This is mine. I made him, I built him. And no Boy Scout is going to come in here and take it away from me just because he happens to be Vice President of the United States.

We Will Control the Horizontal
But not the Vertical, that's for someone else.
In the culmination of a process begun way back in October, the majority owner of DSS signed the papers today officially selling his interest in the company to me and my two partners.
I've got that "you just hang-glided off the cliff" type of feeling, but it's a good feeling. Onward and upward.
