HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY--PHOTO FOUR--

Happy St. Paddy's Day or as we call it at our house--Jack McKeon's Birthday.  I just got back from Notre Dame, where I went to buy young Jack his first legal drink! Yes, my boy is 21 today and I can't think of a better place to celebrate your special St. Patrick's Day birthday than at Notre Dame--home of the Fighting Irish.  After buying all the kids lunch and watching Jack drink his first legal Long Island Iced Tea, I left him in the capable(?) hands of his brother Chris…Fingers crossed that there are no "Come at me, Bro" moments and everyone ends the night with all the teeth and body parts that they started with.

Because of this day trip, and the pressure to make a f'ng fancy, high tech chart, I have not scored the last photo yet.  I also want to check the totals from photo 1 and 2 to make sure we are all good in this contentious contest of captions. I have a pretty free day tomorrow, so it will happen then,  and really, who are we kidding? Once again, Judy cleaned up in the voting.  It's utterly amazing and I'm not sure how she does it, but I like it.  Rob, LInda, Joann and John all had VERY strong showings, and the extra credit is the real wild card. I want to be a peak form before that EC gets allocated, so for today, all you are getting is PHOTO NUMBER FOUR--it's good, it's timely and it should provide some great captions.

Enjoy this beauty and caption away…


Remember, the caption cut off is 5pm Wednesday. And quantity points stop at 20.  Get after it and get your caption on.

  111. Cut off was yesterday at 5pm. But no worries. All captions thus far will be scored. Remember, it's photos go up on Monday, captions come in on Tuesday, Top Ten is posted on Wednesday, before noon, then voting will be Wednesday from noon, until Thursday at noon, and then a new photo goes up Thursday around 5pm, and we start all over again…Captions until 5pm Friday, Top Ten goes up on Saturday…voting until noon on Sunday…We all get Sunday night off, and then a new photo goes up on Monday…It's a grind, but it's worth it for all the prizes and glory.

    Oh, they will not like it
    To find us this way!"

    "Have no fear of this mess,"
    Said the Cat in the Hat.
    Then we saw him pick up
    All the things that were down.
    He picked up the cake,
    And the fake ID, and the beer,
    Then he said, "That is that."
    And he was gone
    With a tip of his hat.

Now the whole thing is messed up.
