He Eats Pasta Sauce Ramen Noodle Big Mac Soup

The entire reason for this post can be found sitting below, surrounded by a bevy of girls like any picky, eligible bachelor should be.

I warned him I was going to take this picture, thus he looks extra contemplative. He's in a PhD. philosophy fellowship at Purdue, so hopefully he has some thoughts to back up The Look. (Those same thoughts, by the way, sail completely over my head with a mighty whooosh.)


Joel is the self-proclaimed "jolly uncle," and it's unfortunate that it only takes one of his feet inside our door to turn the girls into banshees, but he asks for it. They pester him unmercifully, which is his reward for all the pestering he did between the ages of 5 and 20.

The occasion was our niece Aponi's last game of the season, held at my high school alma mater. Giant, red-tongued cougar= scary! Its malignant presence helped her team win the game.



Piper, on the other hand, lost quite roundly. Half of her chips were weaseled away by these persuasive girls .



The End.
