A Talented Molebash

For a couple months now I've been following an online comic strip entitled You'll Have That. Apart from the fact that it is really funny in a twenty-something Seinfeld sort of way, it is penned by another Molebash. Yes, Virginia, there are other Molebashes out there. In this case it's Wes Molebash. You'd think the smattering of U.S. citizens willing to take on the last name of Molebash (I'm guessing we're under 100) would find a way to keep track of each other, but we're all strangers. Since I had the foresight to steal the molebash.com domain name before somebody else gobbled it up, I occasionally receive an email from someone searching down a long lost Molebash relative. Okay, it's happened once, but in this case it helped the talented cartoonist find me. Maybe I'll make the trip out to Ohio someday to meet some of my long lost cousins. Until then I'll sit back and enjoy the comic strip, and I'll spread the word that I'm not the only famous Molebash out there :-)

The Anniversary

So I mentioned an anniversary in my last post. The scoop is that last Friday (April 22) was my 10th wedding anniversary. I know it's impossible to believe that somebody could put up with me for ten years (and trust me there has been a lot to put up with), but Jennifer somehow mustered up the strength and courage to pull it off. Two goldfish, one dog, a huge mortgage, and 2.5 kids later, here we are full-fledged adults. I don't deserve her but I sure am happy that God put her in my life. Here's to loving each other wholly and perfectly!

I had promised myself ten years ago that I'd buy her a NICE saphire or ruby eternity ring for her 10th anniversary. Thanks to a gigantic tax refund I was able to pull it off. She is actually getting three stackable rings. I couldn't find the exact picture but two of the bands look like this. Just picture saphires for every other stone and that's what it looks like. Being married to me might suck, but at least I buy nice presents.

And to close...
How is it that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but dogs are a man's best friend? Guys, we got the shaft on this one. I move that we change the saying to plasma screen televisions with home theater systems are a man's best friend.

Anniversary, Surgery, Business -- All Good Reasons for Not Blogging

To the three people who attempted to read my blog during the last month...I'm back. I had to spend a fair amount of time in Oregon recently to be with my mom and dad while my dad had heart surgery, so the blog got shelved. I won't put up in gory pictures of the procedure, but my dad had a valve replaced, four by-passes, and a pace maker installed. It was a bit unexpected, but that's life.

Sometimes it takes family emergencies to pull everybody together. Last month marked the first time in 30 years that it was just Mom, Dad, and the four Molebash sons under the same roof. Last time the boys were 4, 13, 16, and 18 years old. Do the math and you can figure out how old we all are now.

I promise to write more soon. Gotta grade...
