It Doesn't Get Any Better--It's TBTI!

Sages through the ages have wondered what exactly TBTI is all about. Some have supposed that it is a secret chant that has mystical powers, others have just thought it sounded cool. Nevertheless the debate continues:

The philosopher might say it stands for "the beauty that's inside." Dancers take a more practical approach and suggest it means "these black tights itch." Psychiatrists recognize it as a common diagnosis: "Tranquil, but totally insane." And children say it means "this broccoli tastes icky!" Some maintain that it describes their situation "trapped between two idiots." While the dyslexic think it is a reminder to "bring the trashcans in," the hypochondriac sees it as advice: "Tender back? Take ibuprofen." The self conscious yell it out: "take back that insult," and of course the academician contends that "truth brings transformational independence!"



As time passes I am sure that it will take on even more meaning and its realm of influence will increase globally. However, we all know that it describes our family. TBTI!



Thanksgiving in Tucson: Great people. Great food. Great country.




It was such a treat to have everyone home for those days of fun and frivolity: Knockout was a real winner. Badmitton was a hit. Swimming was chilling. Boggle was humbling (especially when playing with Megan and Craig).





We loved it. Just like I said: "Our family is TBTI!"

Great pictures. How did you do those 4-blocker photos? I need to learn from your mad blogging skills and prowess.

We had a great time and seeing that just makes us anxious to do it again soon.

Love.

BTW, I thought I would pass along that Treating Botulism Takes Injections.

This really was a great post, Bruce! Glad you encouraged us to revisit it.

Let's think about getting back into the blogging business.

Love that we're expanding our TBTI brand to other media!
