Special Report: Dad caught with cheerleaders

This picture shows James P. Hudson frolicking with cheerleaders from the university of Iowa. We also have photos of the accountant chugging beers at the local TKE house. We thought this was a business trip.

Thanksgiving Bowling

The Hudson family, stuck with themselves on Thanksgiving evening with nothing to do, ventured to the Woodlake Bowl for a friendly game of bowling. Mom and dad went way back into their closets to pull out their own personal bowling balls which had not been used since Nixon was in office. The weight of Moms ball was astonishing, she must be a closet weightlifter. Mom, even though she could barely see the pins, was the standout of the evening. Her style was 1950's Brooklyn, strait outta New Youk. You could see the old Brooklyn style from her younger days as a dashing coed in the city. Dad performed admirably but struggled. His ball has an amazing spin which somehow keeps the ball going straight. The ball spins and spins and continues on a straight path. The CPA kept grumbling "no pin action" to himself. Liz was consistent, though she showed obvious disappointment when she bowled the game of her life but still lost to her older brother with the leading man good looks. Mary was also consistent in her mediocrity. Here are the results.

Game 1  
Mom 157, Rob 127, Dad 119, Liz 115, Mary 113
Game 2
Rob 168, Liz 161, Mom 155, Dad 130, Mary 127

Scotty and Megan beat Rob in Pig

The game was called Pig, I think, but Scotty and Megan both defeated Rob in this card game. The 30 year old Rob was defeated soundly by 7 year old Megan and 5 year old Scotty. Obviously Dan and Christine are to be congratulated for raising these child prodigies. The photo is not from Pig, I don't think, can someone please remind me the name of all these games?

Unemployment, Part 2

The author is still unemployed, yet has come closer to his quest for the meaning of existence. The time is not appropriate for those findings to be revealed.

Grandma is Scrabble queen

Grandma emerged from her life of luxury in what was once my bedroom and defeated Mary, Liz and Rob in Scrabble. The outcome was decided early as Grandma used 2 letter to accumulate 30 points. Mary and Liz whined the entire game about the lack of good letters. Rob regained his usual composure and took defeat like a man.

Other News

Keri, Melissa and Kirsten visited the Hudson household on Saturday. They were treated to leftovers, though Melissa and Keri refused to eat and Kirsten only ate mashed potatoes.

Liz's gangster friends came over and proceeded to drive her into an accident. Liz, clean up your act.

Dad began to sing and play the ukelele for no apparanent reason the night of Liz's accident. Liz's gangster friends left immediately because they only like rap.

Chris and family were in Ohio, we have no report on the albino and his shenanigans in that state.
