The Neesy workoutCongratulations Josh!
Those spa/massage parlorts that have been in the news recently are in my neck of the woods. I drive by one of them every day. They had to take the identification off of the building because it was attracting tourists and people were taking selfies in front of the place.
I've heard these places have gotten a bit krafty.
cat in a bag -- how is Spencer and the family adjusting?
GNTLGNT -- same question to you Scott? How is little Bryson?

These places are in crappy strip malls. I'm not sure what would appeal to a billionaire in a place like this.
Maybe he had a coupon.
I guess 6 Super Bowl rings can get to be a bit boring and one might want to shoot for something new… prostitution ring.
Guess what i had for lunch today??? Tacos!!!
Everyone is doing great! Big brother and sister love him to pieces and mom and dad are doing great too. Marti feeling really good. Spencer is being kind to them and already sleeps a solid 6 hrs at night. For being breastfed that is awesome! Brandon still off work for another week, they are enjoying their family.
So sweet. I'm so tickled for you all.
Dr. Seuss Day
Held annually on March 2nd, Dr. Seuss Day is a holiday that celebrates the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel – otherwise known by the pen name by which he authored children’s books: Dr. Seuss. During the 1990s, the National Education Association advocated for a day to celebrate reading all over the United States. In 1998, it started Read Across America and decided to hold it on the same day as Dr. Seuss’ birthday.

History of Dr. Seuss Day
Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2nd, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts in the United States. In 1921, he graduated from high school and enrolled at Dartmouth College. While there, he joined the humor magazine the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern and eventually became an editor-in-chief. After he was caught drinking, which was illegal during Prohibition, he was forced to resign from the magazine. However, he decided to keep working for it and instead used the pen name “Seuss.” When he graduated in 1925, he then entered Lincoln College, Oxford to work towards his Ph.D. in English Literature. While at Oxford, he met Helen Palmer a woman who would encourage him to pursue a career in art instead of becoming an English teacher.
During World War 2, Geisel would draw over 400 political cartoons for the New York daily newspaper called PM. These cartoons denounced Hitler and Mussolini and one of them depicted all Japanese Americans as latent traitors. His cartoons were also supportive of the way President Roosevelt managed the war and were especially critical of Congress. Eventually, he would go on to draw posters for the War Production Board and the Treasury Department and then would write films for the United State Army Air Forces.
After the war, he began to write children’s books from his home in La Jolla, California using the pen name Dr. Seuss. Some of the books during this time included If I Ran the Zoo, Horton Hears a Who, If I Ran the Circus , The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Green Eggs and Ham. In 1954, Dr. Seuss wrote Cat in the Hat using 236 words that were deemed important for first-graders to learn after Life Magazine had reported that children weren’t reading as much because they found most of the children’s books boring.
From 1927 to 1990 he was very active, writing many beloved children’s books. On September 24th, 1991 he would die at the age of 87. However, his legacy would live on. In 2009, the Cat in the Hat sold over 450,000 copies; Green Eggs and Ham sold over 540,000 copies, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish sold over 400,000 copies. In 1997, the National Education Association wanted a day to celebrate reading and to encourage children to read all over the U.S., so the Read Across America Day was held on March 2nd, 1998. It was set to coincide with the birthday of Dr. Seuss.
Dr. Seuss Day Customs & Traditions
On Dr. Seuss Day it is customary to read a favorite book with your child. It could be one of Dr. Seuss’s books or it could be another children’s book author. The whole point of the day is to engage children in reading and to get them to read on a regular basis.
