With options like Guinness ice cream, even my sweet-hating friend Danl might end up there. I was at his house yesterday too (we'd all been at Chari's party). He'd let his virus checker lapse and was immediately blessed with his very own version of W32.Sober. Basically he was getting booted from his internet connection every few minutes with a CSRSS.EXE interrupted and connection interrupted issue that kept babbling about his firewall. You know when you plug in the error message in Google and the only hits are within the last 168 hours that you've got virtual chlamydia. He had his very own little SMTP mail system running amuck. Fortunately, we found the cleaner tool (at the above link), cleaned it, renewed his viruschecking software and updated the definitions, and then moved on to a hot-seat game of War! Age of Imperialism. Eryn joined us for a while to scam some sunflower seeds, which she promptly puked up downstairs for Pooteewheet (she's had them before). This morning, however, she seems to have a fever, so maybe it presaged more viral issues.
Finally (check it out Steve, no card, just online) - Happy Mother's Day! To Pooteewheet, Ellen (Mom) and Geri (Mom-in-law) - well, and Katie and Allison and Jackie and Laurie and any other mothers I might bump into this weekend. No card for Mom. No card for the wife. But mom will get her annual gift - something that seems to be lacking from the cabin. John (Dad) assures me it's the never-used NordicTrack in our basement, but I'm pretty sure that's just for him. So, if you have any preferences, make sure they're known before I head up there, or you'll get another 100-pack of Tupperware.

I'm impressed, the Mother's Day note didn't even get it's own post.
BTW, where did Mean Mr. Mustard's step-cat find the time to start an ice-cream chain? Please explain.
It IS surprisingly close to Mr. Mustard's house.
Even so, from what I've seen Izzy has never been much of a self-motivator. Of course, I wouldn't have expected Izzy to have hair like this either, so what do I know?
Maybe Izzy is like a Bizzaro Klund - you know, Klund looks all relaxed and slacking at work (when he was working), and then goes home and goes wild with piles of kids and an exciting homelife. Izzy, on the other hand, looks all lackadaisical at home with the Mustards, but on the job is suprisingly energetic. I mean, you'd have to be energetic to run an ice cream business as a cat - you've got no thumbs (is he polydactyl? maybe that helps).
