All Things Incredible

Emerson is utterly fascinated with all things having to do with The Incredible Hulk. Several months ago he decided that he wanted a Hulk costume for Halloween. His mom found one (and that was it, ONE!) at a party store today and he shows up at my place for an over-nighter musclebound, with a six-pack, and roaring green, announcing that he is there to keep me safe. After a dinner of pizza and wings at Streets of New York, we returned home where he was allowed to watch an episode of that famous Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno classic on the instant play version of Netflix. At one point he came running into my room, gave me a kiss and said, "Gramma, I really can't keep you safe because I'm really not the Incredible Hulk." Alhough he is pretty adamant about the fact that in real life Dr. David Banner (Bill Bixby's character in case you've forgotten) is his barber!

Today's news: A UPS employee in Florida -- aptly named Brandon Loser -- was arrested and charged with stealing $53,000 worth of designer sunglasses he was supposed to deliver. Loser, 21, of Daytona Beach, admitted stealing 212 pairs of Costa Del Mar sunglasses, which go for $250 each.

Today in History: 1959 – Premiere of Bonanza, the first regularly-scheduled TV program presented in color.
