Children are starving in China....

Today was one of those cold (55 degree, brrrrrrr), raining, winter days
here in sunny Florida. I came home from work early and spent the day

laying around watching old Christmas 

specials on DVD with the trips.  You know the

one with Jimmy Duranta as the narrator. 

OK anyone under 40 probably has no idea

who Jimmy Duranta is, and neither did I

until I Googled him. But I promise if you were

watching "Frosty the Snowman" you would hear old

Jimmy D. doing the narrating and can't help but wonder where

have I heard that voice before...

So, as the evening progressed Dawn and I decided it was a lazy

night and pizza was in order.  I made a run to the grocer

and picked up a couple frozen pizzas.  One fancy chicken flat

bread for me and Dawn and another for the trips. 

The trips being your typical picky kids only like simple

cheese and peperoni pizza. However, one of the problems with

frozen pizza is the size.  I am not sure if this is another vanilla

(for a explanation of vanilla see my first blog post) marketing

technique.  But the larges are only really medium size pizzas.

Well, the kids were lucky to each have a piece of pizza.

Dawn and I devoured our flat bread pizza.  Which for a guy with

a appetite like mine, is only a apa-teaser (pun intended).  I

would have loved to eat the second half of the kid's pizza,

except they all insisted on getting a second piece to entertain

themselves during dinner.

Well, my kid's see I am hungry and bring me a piece

from their plate.  Each piece has been so nicely manipulated

and picked at to a point my dogs wouldn't be interested in eating

it.  Dawn gave me that look  and commented to make sure I thank

them for their thoughtfulness.  However, after looking at the pizza,

I lost my appetite.
