Breaking News!

Breaking news, JDamn Fans! Our new home in Milford has new critters! This weekend, Moms and Dads spent all weekend at the Milford house. They painted a ceiling with wood stain goo, picked colors for the wall and the wainscoting and Dads experimented (successfully!) with putting up sheet rock (which, no, is not a sheet of rocks...though that would be fun).

This afternoon, at the house, they were starring out the picture window (in a tired, new homeowner daze) and Dads said, "What the *BLEEP!* is that thing?" Moms looked and something was doing a low belly crawl through our back yard. Moms immediately said, "It's a Badger!" Dads said, "No, no, no. It's the Connecticut Yeti!" (I heard this in my sleep all the way in Fairfield, sat up, and cheered.)

They then went through all the scenarios. Finally, they realized they had to paint. So they painted all day long, got tired, came home and showered. They ordered a pizza and googled "connecticut woodland creature." What they found astounded them.

Friends, our new critter in Milford is a woodchuck. They are also known as a groundhog or a whistle pig (because, apparently, they whistle). According to some wildlife expert, the woodchuck has "a compact, chunky body supported by relatively short, strong legs." Friends. This is also a perfect description of me. LOOK.

Once I move to Milford, I hope to see my twin. I tried to tell this to Moms and Dads, but they are too busy trying to figure out what to name the woodchuck. Moms says his name should be Chuck; Dads says his name should be Woody. Maybe there will be two and we can have Chuck and Woody.

Moms and Dads took pictures of all their good work, but Moms cannot find the cable to make the pictures come out of the camera, so you will have to just wait to see them.

K. JDamn -- the woodchuck twin -- OUT!
