I'd like to start off by congratulating Joe and Roseanne on adding the new member to the clan...Baby Stephen. So lets get a name tally here now: we now have 9 Joes if you include Grandpa Joe Hatala and Grandpa Joe Kuczmiak. We also have 4 Vitos and 1 Vita. We have now have 3 Steves and 3 Vinnies, 2 Johns, 2 Phyllisses, 2 Roseannes, 2 Lennys, 1 Rose Marie, 1 MariaRose, and 1 Rosina. It appears as if there may be a pattern. So heres the challenge question: Does John remember what I told him I would by naming my first born?

So other stuff to mention: A Very Very Happy Father Days to all Macaroni Dish Dads: new and old...you all proved to be naturals. So on that note, I have a Dad story from earlier in the week. Kahuna bought a brand new car for Ree earlier in the year and with it purchased a special prepaid service package that provides an oil change and tire rotation whenever he brings it in. So he brings it in on Wednesday, and for some reason suspects they may be pooching him on the tire rotation. So the Diabolical Vin has Ree remove one tire valve cap and stick it in her pocket. Sure enough, they return the car and missing valve cap is exactly where it was when they dropped it off. Of course, first they claimed the rotation was indeed done...falling right into his devious hands. He produced the evidence and then they changed their claim to they thought that the rotation was simply suggested on the invoice...not that he had asked for one. Of course, he reads his invoice which clearly includes the rota tion, and according to Ree thats when the Vin-Man put his chair on accelerate and drove into the service manager's office to do his own John Stossel interview with him. I'm sure that guy is still in emotional pain. Im so depressed I wasn't there.
