Incriments of Five
Bless me Internet, for I have (sinned). It has been 25 months since my last update.
Usually it would be five months between updates, but five times five is ... 25!
Talk to you in five.

The Ron Show, Featuring Joe & Ted: Mundane Family Entertainment
Well, it was supposed to be five months between posts the last time and I was a little early. So here is your five-month post, right on schedule!!! Five months and eight days later, you finally have what you have thirsted for.
Exciting.
So I looked at this blog today and I could see the dates of the last three posts, the third of which was October 15, 2005. Then I realized it was no shock at all that I have posted just twice since then.
Four days after that post, my healthy (thank you, Jesus) triplets were born. Then 19 days thereafter, my parents got into a horrific car accident that left my father very, very banged up and cost my mother her life.
The ensuing adjustment to life as a father, let alone a father of three, let alone a father of three infants at the same time, would have been more than enough for me to handle. But losing my mom and nearly my dad less than three weeks later just sent my already spinning world spinning 30 times faster.
Somehow, someway, we got through it. There were many tough nights, more tough days, tons of tears shed, and a lot of family, friends and strangers stepping up with selfless acts that helped. And prayers work, too.
So here I am, 15 months later, still fat and not keeping enough watch of what I am eating and barely keeping alive this blog. Fortunately, things seem to be under control now and moving along, especially with the kids, who are truly amazing.
Sorry this is not going to be a love-in blog with tons of things about the kiddies mixed in, like Dooce. Instead, let me change gears for a second and talk about something new, a great project that Ted and I are working on right now.
Since I have proven to be such a responsible blogger, I have now decided to take it to the next step and sart a podcast.
"The Ron Show, Featuring Joe & Ted: Mundane Family Entertainment" is the name of our effort. We have had a lot of fun putting together the first five shows (to date). Episode Six will be recorded Wednesday night at 10 p.m. EDT, and we're keeping that weekly production schedule for the foreseeable future.
Right now we're still figuring out the details of how to make it a quality-sounding podcast and get it out there in distribution so people can subscribe and listen. We're also working on the technical quality, so if you have any tips, please share.
Right now we're basically recording our video chats on Skype in four segements around 15 minute apiece and calling them a show or episode.
If you want to be part of the show, get in touch with Ted or with me, and we'll arrange to have you on. The easiest way is to download Skype, and have us add you on a chat. The other way, right now, is to have Ted call you during the show and doing it over the phone. I prefer adding show guests to a conference on Skype, because the quality is better.
All of this will evolve.
If you do join us through Skype, you need not worry about having to be seen on your webcam. Right now the technology only allows two people to do a video chat, and once the third person and additional people (up to nine, total) join in, it switches to audio only.
Those who join us on the show should note that they are responsible for their own comments, same as they would be if they were on any radio show. This stuff is out there on the Web for people to hear.
If I find this blog useful to compliment the podcast, then you'll be directed here and seeing more posts, pictures, etc. If not, and we find a site for the show, then you'll be re-directed or directed there.
Exciting.

C-Food
The Chinese food container out of which I just ate my day-old brown rice is round at the bottom but square on top.

Food, Glorious Food
I think this is tough to do, since I went the whole day without writing down or noting what I ate. And now it's tomorrow, and I am thinking how I want to hike after all this rain and see how the waterfalls are doing in the backwoods.
Breakfast - English muffin with Alpine Lace swiss and Thuman's turkey breast, toasted. Boy, if you have neither discovered nor rediscovered the english muffin, it is time to do so. Carb diets be damned.
Lunch - Ultra-lean chicken breast halves (about one breast) with half an onion and some peas and carrots.
In Between - A pear and an apple.
Dinner(s) - The other half of lunch, plus the rest of Debbie's shrimp scampi (one shrimp, 1/2 cup spaghetti).
After dinner - Tradition peanuts while watching The Aviator (three stars), and then I blew it with half-a-bag of cheese doodles that I was supposed to put away after she was done with a quick snack.
I feel like I might have missed something in there. I have to take better care to not only do this, but also do something about the fact that I am turning into the blog version of Super-Size Me. Fuh-huuuck.
I had my traditional Dunkin' Donuts large french vanilla decaf with skim, very light somewhere in all of this, and vacuumed out the continuing trickles of water into the basement five times, as well. Also, picked up a whole bunch of baby-prep crap and some prescriptions at CVS.
I am fat.

No More Special Day
Dinner was the other half of Deb's hamburger from lunch, replete with lettuce and tomato. It was a very thick and good burger. Tacked on some salad with a can of tuna (albacore in water). Topped it with oil @ vinegar, salt & peppa.
The customary peanuts followed during Survivor (goodbye Golden Boy Blake), and I had a single peanut M&M (red). Treated myself to another chocolate donut (with the freezer treatment, yum-yum).
God, I eat a lot. But if I was working out, like at all, I probably would be dropping weight. I guess right now I am leaving room to dream. I really want to hike and check out the waterfalls now that there has been flooding and just a lot of rain. It must be breathtaking.
Time to retire to the upstairs, first grabbing the sheets outta the dryer, grabbing the Bendryl pills, taking another Aleve, and checking the basement for more water, in preparation for putting lotion on my bride, as we begin the next nine years of our blissful marriage. This nine years will be featuring triplets, though. And at the end of them, I'll be like 45 or something. I hope I am in better shape then than I am now. I have plenty of time to get there.
Keep thinking about Vanishing James, and how tough his day must have been, and hoping he feels like tomorrow will be better.

Fat Thurdsay?
Yeah, it's turning out to be Fat Thursday, one of those so called "exception" days where you just eat whatever the hell you want because it's your ninth wedding anniversary. Except I am not also feeding three kids with what I am eating.
So ... we agreed to a double non-exchange of gifts, considering she could not get anywhere outside of the Internet and did not much feel up to trying to order something. I had to agree to the plan, and I did.
This morning it was a pancake breakfast, which is a treat, since I cook them pretty well. She had her share and I had mine, and then I finished off the three eggs that were left in the package, seemingly for no other reasons than I wanted to get rid of the package. But I responsibly(?) placed a slice of Alpine Lace swiss cheese on there. I also responsibly eschewed (GodBlessYou) the english muffin.
Late lunch was a driveby to the pancake house, and I brought back a garden burger, fruit and cottage cheese. Damn, that garden burger was good, and it had been such a long time, for some reason, since I had one.
More important stuff today - it was a year ago that I got a very early morning call from VanishingJames, who broke the God-awful news that he lost his sister. I thought, "Wow, this is a nice touch - getting a call this early on my anniversary. How did he remember?"
Instead, my buddy was beginning a suffering that will last a lifetime. I know he has some good days now, 365 days later, but there are still a lot of rough patches. It will be a long while (and maybe the time will never come) before he will go a day without thinking of her. But somehow time makes things a little bit better. I am sure he is a lot better with it today than he was a year ago, 11 months ago, or six months ago.
Sorry for the downer, but it's just the reality of things. OK, time to go clean the mini-flood out of the basement.

PITA
OK, this was a PITA - pain in the ass. But it had to be done, so my pregnant wife suffers, literally itching for me to come upstairs and apply lotion to her body.
Made it from lunch to dinner without eating, but I went to ShopRite and it seemed to work out well. Stocked up on a lot of stuff.
For dinner, had a spicy tuna roll and spicy salmon roll, then a double-english muffin (those things are really awesome) toasted with a small covering Alpine Lace Swiss and Thuman's turkey breast. Very nice.
Followed with green grapes and the customary peanuts and then treated myself to a late-night chocolate donut. Thanks Entenmenn's.
Time to sleep, wake up and do it again. Happy anniversary to us. Nine years, since we passed midnight.
Wow. Nine years and no kids. Pretty soon we'll catch up, all in one shot. Three-run homer. Nice. Earl Weaver Baseball.
