When I inquired about the
situation my wife revealed they had just returned from one of her favorite
shopping haunts – the Christmas Tree Shoppe.
This explained the exhaustion as yet another icon of American shopping
fell victim to the depredations of the shopping horde from Panama
When I opened the door from
the garage I was also confronted by an extremely upset Buddy the Wonder
Pooch. He was wearing a bright blue
scarf and did not look very happy. This
is a regular occurrence when my wife goes to the Shoppe and she’s gotten the technique
of tying it around his neck so he can’t readily remove it. She often calls into question Buddy’s sexual
orientation because he is so attached to me.
This scarf will not help if he is confused at all.
Buddy has completely conquered
the affections of my sister in law and he makes a bee line to her whenever she
has something to eat, figuring he will end up with at least a taste of it. This came in handy last night when she had an
unfortunate experience on the couch with the last of several Coors Lights. Luckily Buddy has extensive experience
cleaning up after Coors Light spills.
The gals also found this
blog on the computer last night and were offering their candid opinions of the photos
I had posted of them. I think it has
just become a lot more difficult to capture them in their native environment
going forward.
One of the products of their
Christmas Tree Shoppe expedition was a creepy statue of Yoda from Star
Wars. He talks, uttering some of Yoda’s
most famous pronouncements. These were
gifts going back to some of the younger Panamanians back home. I had just gotten into bed when there arose a
huge conflagration in the guest bedrooms.
Apparently my wife hid the
statue under the bed of her sister who is easily spooked (I’m sure the Coors
Light had nothing to do with it). She
was freaking out and the rest of the gang was thoroughly enjoying her
discomfort. As the rest of them were
laughing too hard to resolve the situation I volunteered to move Yoda downstairs,
far enough away to placate my scared sister in law.
Life is never boring around
my wife’s Panamanian posse.
