Snake And The Evil One XVI: The Tooth Fairy

Last week my youngest nephew, The Evil One, lost his very first tooth! Hooray, congratulations young man. Unfortunately for him, he lost it at school…and then he lost it after school. How about that? The boy was thrilled to finally have a tooth drop out of his head and to be able to leave it under his pillow to score some cold hard cash from The Tooth Fairy and then to only have the rug pulled out from under him by losing it. Very sad.

Well, as any good big brother is apt to do, Snake tried to set things right with his old friend The Tooth Fairy. He gathered up a writing utensil and put pen to paper to create a little note to Ms. Fairy.

Here is a copy of the actual letter:

(Yes this is dated for two months ago but written last week.  Hey, he’s a kid, give him a break.)

How adorable and sweet. You just want to give him a prize, too, as a reward for being such a great brother…but wait a minute.

Aparently, Evil One was lucky enough to score an Abe Lincoln for the loss of his first tooth but Snake was a bit perturbed. Why? Well, when he decided to sit down and write his little letter it wasn’t all for self-less reasons. He figured that for his good deed The Tooth Fairy would drop him some coin as well. To be specific he said:

She could have at least given me a quarter or something!

There is nothing like brotherly love.

Wasn’t I Just The Cutest?

Okay so we obtained this HP printer from The School Girl’s mom and I can’t tell you sweet this thing is. Oh sure it prints and copies but damnit it scans too. So I had been playing with the scanner function this morning and was able to get out of some typing. See my wife wanted me to send a few recipes over to SueBoo and Moms and instead of typing all that nonsense into a word document, I just **zip** scanned it up. Pretty nifty, right?

So I thought I would try it out with photographs as well but I couldn’t find any interesting ones except these old baby pictures of yours truly.

As a newborn I was pretty darned chunky I must say. It must have been too much strained peas or something.

Man, I don’t know who in the heck this adorable kid is but he looks nothing like me. By the way, weren’t 70s fashions just the greatest?

Okay, the boredom is starting to get to me. How much longer until football starts?

LeBlancs On The Web II

I am all alone again today as The School Girl and her mom have trekked up to Nashville to visit my father-in-law in the hospital. Football doesn’t start for a few hours yet and I finally got caught up on reading the stuff in my feed reader.

I have been doing some web searches for my name and nothing good has come up. Oh sure there are murderers named LeBlanc and a mom/son combination with the name LeBlanc that were busted for drugs but nothing too great. I did; however, come across an author that I was unaware of who shares my surname and writes in a genre that piques my curiosities.

Has anyone heard of Deborah LeBlanc? I had not until today (at least that I can remember) but it seems that she has been getting some great reviews for her work in horror. I had always been a fan of the early Stephen King and some Clive Barker and Graham Masterton (not his sex books though).

I think that I will toss a hint to La Hermana to give this lady a look and maybe I can score a pretty cheap copy or two. It is good having connections in the literary world as a reader. Anyway, if any of you guys out there have read any of Ms. LeBlanc’s work give me a yell and let me know what you think.
