Skyla thinks she runs the show now. Ever since we moved into our new home in Kensington (pronounce it with your teeth gritted like Thurston Howell, III) Skyla has been talking about this so called "New Regime." The first few times I heard about the "New Regime", we'll call it NR from now on, during harvest I just kind of shrugged it off. But all through harvest all I heard about was how different things were going to be from now on. What, did I get married or something? Jesus! Here is the NR manifesto as I see it:
Rule #1- No more getting bullied around by Luke and Matt
Rule #2- No eating dinner in front of the TV. (Although we just did that last night. HA!)
Rule #3- No football on Sundays.
Rule #4- No football period.
Rule #5- No sports on TV with the sound on. (Ok, I can tolerate this. Barely.)
Rule #6- I know there must be a rule #6 and more but I can think of any off the top of my brainwashed head.
Now I know why she wanted to move so badly. It's all about control. But then again isn't it always about control? I guess it's about gaining the upper hand. I think I smell a hundred year war coming....

The manifesto sounds great!! Lets implement it. It is not an accurate reflection of the status quo round these parts, but when has accuracy gotten in the way of a good story (for the record, the baseball playoffs have been on playing on our tv during dinner more often than not these past few weeks).
Maybe it will only be a Six Year war...
