Papa Steve and Mama G and Ethan

Could we be any more excited?

I submit that we could not.

Lil' E Busts a Rhyme

Wik-a wik-a wik-a,

My name is Lil’ E,
My hat is bigger than me,
I may not be too large,
But I’ll show you who’s in charge.

Word.

Peace. We Out.

Waco Today

I was on my way back to work after lunch today with several of my co-workers, and one of them was commenting on something in the "Waco Today" magazine. If you live in Waco you have probably seen this magazine, but if you live somewhere else you certainly have seen similar publications. It has short articles in it about relatively mundane things, recipes, and whatnot, but it is primarily used as a vehicle to promote various activities around town, and to allow people to have their pictures published, and to look and see if anyone that they know attended different events, and so on. In between the Symphony ads, the recipes, and other items, the "filler" consists of light articles about things in Waco and photo shoots of various Waco residents attired in seasonal clothing. This month the feature was about coats, and they decided to tie in that most human need to buy a new coat with the local charitable organization Caritas, which collects clothing and food for those less fortunate in our community, and with Thanksgiving coming we are all thinking about all that for which we are so thankful.

So, there are a dozen or so pictures of young ladies wearing coats priced in the $150 - $400 range posing on, in front of and cavorting around (I wish I were making this up, but I am not that imaginative), bales of used clothing, shelves full of generic mac and cheese and other foodstuffs donated for the hungry and needy in our community. The problem is, I don't think it was intended as irony.

I have no idea what to say about that except, that is Waco Today.
