One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for November 29, 2013

I can’t wait to hear Joe discuss the rings around Uranus!

I remember (quite a few years ago) that young Gene posed the Pluto vs. Goofy paradox to Arlo— it really befuddled dear old dad!

Joey Gladstone was wondering the same thing!

P.S.: I really don’t like this new set-up.

Uh… Pluto’s not a planet anymore… downgraded.

One Big Happy NEVER zooms.

Start with the easiest to spell, Mars, then work your way up from there. If you want Joe to just memorize the names of the planets and in thier proper sequence, you could try "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos (It used to be Nine Pizzas, but no more Pluto).

“The Talk” about Venus is going to be a very L-o-o-n-n-g-g-g one.

I wondered about that too (at my age, did not know anything about what dice shots are called). Then, I think someone in Grandpa’s family is owner of a bar and Ruthie visits there. My friend in Chicago had a cousin with a bar.

SUSAN NEWMAN: Works on my Leopard, so I suspect it is common to all OS-X machines.

And that someone should have told her the correct call was actually “Little Joe from Kokomo” when you’re rolling – “Little Joe” when you DO roll your point. Let’s be professional about this, Ruthie.

Pluto is not a planet.
