Around SBN: Upon Further Review: Bo Knows Longreads

Sugar Ray Berger

I look decades into the future and I see a woman that men lacking in cajones, which is El Pasoese for temerity, shouldn't even try to approach. Timbers shattered on the shoals, I think. El Pasoese is its own parochial language, Like Basque. Or TexAgs.

At any rate it will not be advisable to roll up to Raylee Berger and act tough. She will politely stifle a giggle into her sleeve and cross you off the list. When your six months old and you do this, you inherently know tough.

Barking Carnival's God Daughter had a (fingers making quote marks like a silly Hollywood person pitching a script) long day on Friday.

Needless to say pops had a long day too. Being called into an anteroom by a doctor with a cloudy visage in such circumstances will cause your heart to fall through your stomach on the way to Tartarus. I haven't met a more sincere and truer friend than Kevin Berger. He deserves every bit of good luck and as many good wishes as you can muster. His wife is better than he is. Shocker.

Anyway, Ray Ray seems to be, predictably, inexorably marching toward good health but I beseech all of you who read this to swing by Mama Berger's blog and leave encouragement. It really means a lot to them.

If Raylee is this good-natured with all of these pokes, prods, and surgeries, that girl is going to make Mary Lou Retton look like a Goth by the time she is grown up and all of this is behind her.

Good for her, and thanks for keeping us updated, Sailor.

And then Trips comes home on Friday to the smell of gas that for once wasn’t coming from him.

After not seeing the boys for a week due to being at the hospital, those kids are as hyped as the brood from ‘Overboard.’

Can’t wait to see a healthy Raylee get older and run with that pack. She’s going to be a very tough little girl when it’s all said and done.

Thanks for the update, Sailor. I’ve been out of town and haven’t had a chance to check in over there. Heading that way, now.
