My life is turning into a '50s family sitcom.

First, there is the beautiful wife who is a contented and happy homemaker. Then, the 2 kids, both boys, of course. Somewhat rambiunctious but in the end very thoughtful and sensitive children. Then there is the nice big suburban home with a big back yard. The minivan (back in the '50s it would have been a station wagon with wood panels) as a family vehicle and the company-owned sports car for dad to get back and forth to work in. And now we're getting a dog. A 2 month old Golden Retriever puppy complete with papers. We pick her up in a couple of weeks.

The only thing missing is Eddie Haskell, and I'm sure we'll meet him after the boys reach puberty.

The immediate picture this brings to mind is of you yelling, "Fore!"

Exactly and precisely what crossed my mind, after spending about five hours trying to evict the little sucker. I was thinking how delightful it would be to triple bogey him all over the neighborhood, maybe a full 18 holes. Actually we figured out later that all the open windows did little avail -- the only one he would sail out of was the one window that had a tree adjacent to it, so he knew he was home free. To this day I despise the little rodents. Or whatever they are.
