Well, it’s been a year since Finn Patrick Callahan arrived on this earth. The next generation to carry the Callahan name into the 21st Century. His birthday was Monday, but since his Uncle Kyle forgot to post a Birthday “hat tip” — like he has for many of his other family members — I guess I will.
Finn’s the man! He sits at home all day surrounded by the women of my family. I love my wife and daughter more than they will ever know, but being with them all day - I have sympathy for the boy. As soon as I walk in the door from a long day of work, my daughter screams, “Daddy!” (from wherever she is in the house) and my lovely wife says, “Hi Honey.”
But then a grunt comes from the corner of the room, and out of the shadows crawls my little man.. He comes right over to me and either sits down in front of me, raises his arms in the “pick me up” position, and gives me a look that says, “Thank god! These women I driving me crazy!” or he crawls right by me, slipping me a head nod to say “Hey pops. On mission. Nice to see ya.”
That’s my boy! I can’t wait for the next 17 years of this….
Happy Birthday, Finn
Your daddy

Wait — so your wife keeps Finn in a shadowy corner during the day? And when he turns 18, you’re no longer going to enjoy him?
I’m confused.
Yeah, you’re almost 40 and your parents can’t seem to shake you!
he looks like a golfer… - on the set of little red riding hood… - leaning on a stump… - a stumpy…
He can be the next Tiger Woods, I wont complain.
Happy first b-day young Callahan ( I was going to say little Callahan, but that’s so vague). When’s he gonna be old enough to learn about his argumentative, burnt-out uncles?
shawn… - i’m craving an out of the ordinary milkshake… - not just ice cream and milk and a blender… - any suggestions? - any stumpified recipes?
Avacado Milk Shake
5 avocados, peeled and pitted
4 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon dry milk powder
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 cup ice
In a blender, combine avocado, sweetened condensed milk, powdered milk, sugar and ice. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.
thanks… - sounds expensive… - if i can find some cheap avocados… - i’ll try it… - this is probably more expensive than the five dollar milkshake at jack rabbit slim’s…
