At first glance you might look at this picture and see it as the painted face of our eldest young tribesman as he stands outside the safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.  You’d be right.  But, if you look closer, you can see the gleam in his eye as he prepares to pounce on his prey like the Bengal Tiger that adorns his face.

The Bengal Tiger is most heavily populated in India and, though they remain on the endangered species list, continue to hold a place of prestige, respect and fear.

I say all that to tell you this.  I love my wife.  Upon our return from Disney midnight on Wednesday, Jenn started packing for an overnight trip to Syracuse – leaving Friday and returning tonight.  I’ve had the boys overnight a few times before but, after ten days in Disney, I wasn’t fully prepared to fend off the vicious attacks that would come my way.  It turns out that all was good until a major skirmish tonight at my parent’s house derailed our near-perfect weekend.  All in all though I’m alive, the boys are alive, the dog is alive and the house is still standing.  I believe I can declare victory.
