Sargent Snorkel discovers “don’t ask, don’t tell” is more difficult than it sounds…although Sarge’s fantasy of Beetle as 50 Cent is a little hard to on the brain.
Update: Poor Louise Lugg. She doesn’t realize that Sarge is a man’s man:

Well, might as well start off early.

Sam at the NJ Aquarium

Posted by Brendan on December 29th, 2006 filed in parenthood, photoblog

While I was coughing up snot and blowing my brains out of my nostrils at work, Sam went to the NJ Aquarium in Camden.
Here are some shots, courtesy Christina. Not many animal shots, because the lighting was super dim.

Sam likes Sponge Bob almost as much as he likes Thomas the Tank Engine
