DAN! DAN!

"Andrew, what does a firetruck say?"

"Wooowooowooowooo DAN! DAN! Wooowooowooowoo!"

I kept asking Andrew who is the hell is Dan? Is he the fireman? Is he the dispatcher? What does he look like? I meditated on it. I woke up in the middle of the night wondering who is Dan. I asked God who he was. Buddha didn't know either.

Then, DUH! DUH! I got it.

You see, the DAN! DAN! is the horn thingy that the firetrucks sound off in between the sirens. Of course you knew that.

The only explanation that I can come up with on WHY IT TOOK ME 5 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT was we never had DAN! DAN! growing up. And the ONLY time I was ever asked "What does a firetruck say?" was when I was a kid. Its just not a topic of conversation during fine cocktail hour.

Thats my explanation and I'm stickin' to it.

Visit from the Haugstatters!

Last week our old neighbors came to visit - Brooke and Harley are so big now!  The kids just came right in and within minutes it was as if they had never left.  Of course we miss them so much. Funny thing is that their old house is up on the market....maybe they can buy back their old house $100K less than what they sold it for!

The beautiful girls: Brooke & Harley

Nathan, International Playboy

The funniest thing happened yesterday - I was sitting outside on the lanai ready a magazine when Nathan comes over, drags his little patio chair next to me, runs back inside and comes back with 3 items:

Daddy's sunglasses
Daddy's cell phone
Sippy cup with Vodka maritni (ok, just kidding) Apple juice

He plops himself in the chair, puts the cup in its holder, puts on Daddy's sunglass...UPSIDE down...and proceeds to dial Po Po's number on the cell phone (I'm sure we'll get our cell phone bill and see that Nathan really called Istanbul for 2 hours)

After a 2 minute conversation with PoPo, which included words such as "chocolate" "ok" and "good boy"... he called MiMi and that conversation included "Disneyworld"  
"Magic Dingdong" and "good boy."  

I couldn't quite make out the whole conversation, but I think it had to do with telling both his 
grandmas that he was a good boy and deserved to be showered with many gifts and prizes 
of the chocolate flavor.  I bet he didn't even mention that 45 minutes ago, he had his chocolate 
confiscated because he whacked his brother in the head with a wooden train track.  

After the calls, he looks at me and he says, "Look at me! I'm Daddy!"  Here are the rest of the pics.

So busted!!! Got caught kissing one of his girlfriends, Carson, at school!!!!

New Digital Doctors Pinellas Office

We are just about to sign the lease to take our 2nd office location!  It in Clearwater, about 35 minutes north of Bradenton.  The location is great - right off the major interstate and on a very very busy street.  During traffic hours, its stop and go right in front of our shop...which is perfect for exposure.  Its not going to be a "store-front" like the Bradenton shop, but more of a place where our Pinellas techs can go and work on computers, store inventory and work with customers by appointment.  We're not quite ready to have a storefront - but this gives us the opportunity to have a second location and grow into that.

We're taking over the space currently leased by a cell phone repair company - its 800 s.f. and will have new carpets.  Move in date is in May.
