When I was a kid there was a cheesy movie called Clash of the Titans. Other than the laughable special effects, the only memorable thing from the movie was the line, "release The Cracken". The Cracken is a mythological sea monster held in bondage at the bottom of sea by the Greek gods. The Cracken is a really bad thing.
I feel like The Cracken has been living in our home for about a month now.
Our family has been sick... for a month. We keep passing sicknesses around to each other. I guess that is what families do. We share.
And since it is not yet spring-time, it is still too cold to open the windows and air the place out. It's like we are living in a thermos bottle of germs. I just want to let the wind blow through - get that Cracken out of here.
Well, I thought we were all better. Kelly and the girls headed up the Iowa to see her sister's new baby and catch up with some friends. While at the house of one of our friends, Abby got sick... again.
I am so tired of this.
On a more positive note - perhaps if we export The Cracken to Cedar Rapids it will leave us alone.

Hope you all feel better soon.
Cedar Rapids (Marion) is coming to town so maybe we can carefully pack it when we leave and bring it back to Iowa so the Cracken will leave ya'll alone!
By the way, I LIKED the 'Clash of the Titans'! Cheesy, indded!
What about the sword, huh? What about the cool mechanical owl?
What about the togas? And you called it cheesy!
I like "Clash of the Titans" too. Anything with Greek mythology has to be cool! Incidentally, it was also the last movie to use "stop motion" animation for the monsters (which was the way classic movies, like "King Kong" and "Godzilla" and even the original "Star Wars" were done). You may also be interested to know that the same monster appears in Pirates of the Caribbean (parts 2 & 3) as a giant squid.
And that's the news from your lovable provider of useless information...
