And, barring a transfer out of Connecticut, he's right! Proof is here- the first of the weekly (WEEKLY! DO YOU READ THIS, KEN?) spots where you, oh intrepid readers, get to pose questions of The Ken. And he'll answer. Oh yes. He'll answer.
I feel like I should write a brief introduction about The Ken here. So I will, since it 's my blog and I do what I want.
I don't remember when I first met him. In my memory, there's a brief span of time where he doesn't show up at all- then there he is, forever afterwards. And while he physically flickered in and out of the story during our tumultuous young adult years, he was always part of my psychic makeup. Whatever that means. Just know this- while neither of us will probably ever ever ever commit our love story to paper (or internet), for all his foul-mouthed, bad-tempered, irreverent exterior, this man is worth more to me than rubies or whole empires, or anything at all except God.
Also, he has really really bad taste in music.
So with no further ado, here's The Ken:

Well well well. I kinda feel like Weird Al Yankovic during the few times they let him play videos on MTV. So….welcome to Clan Ken!!!
Cari has been working so hard at putting our lives out there for public consumption for so long I feel like there is nothing left for me to add, yet based on questions she was able to gather, I see there are some gaps. Be warned though, there is no going back. You cannot unknow or unlearn things. So, if you are still with me, crank up the “Tool” and read on my pretties..
I got issues…..I believe the term is coprolalia. Nowadays, not so cool, but back in Archie Bunkers time, comic gold. So while on the outside many might confuse me for having a Yoda-like inner peace, really that is just self-censorship. If you can work with that, then I can work with you. So now that we understand each other, let’s roll to a few queries:
Christine asks:
He cooks, changes diapers, makes cool things, etc...all while looking that good?! Does he have a twin for some of my single lady relatives? Even a slightly evil-twin would do. Question: what keeps him going? Coffee? Wine? Bud-light? Chocolate?
Hrm……I try not to do all those things at once, I think that is the key.
I always made myself think I was the evil twin.
I do love me some Dunkin Donuts (product placement) coffee, but I am sure steering waaaay clear of the Bud Light (NOT a product placement) has helped me keep a clear perspective.
On to Paula:
Ken: Who does your hair? Looking good, my man, looking good!
Hair by Wahl.
Thanks for the read. More in a couple Thursdays????

Use "Ask The Ken" as the subject line so he doesn't delete your message, thinking that it's something from me.

When it comes to the kiddos, how does "Ken" discipline differ from "Cari" discipline? Do the kids know how to work each parent a certain way when it comes to sentencing? Do you have moments when you are proud of your kids for something they've done, but must discipline a certain way to teach a lesson about safety, creativity, respect, friendship etc... Any examples?
ReplyDeleteAnd how is your gaming going? =)
I feel like I want to write an ENTIRE Ask The Ken post "asking" him how he feels about somehow finding a way to work for Arcadia or Bells so that you have to move right down the street from me AND he can make a living helping to brew delicious beer. "What have you ever wanted that you didn't eventually get"- transfer out of CT done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clear and succinct answer Ken! An addendum: do you do it yourself or does Cari help? With your hair, I mean. I know I seem rather obsessed about your hair. At least I am not asking your shoe size.
ReplyDeleteCari - this is such a good idea. I would do it, but Charles has his own blog.
Perfect answer.
ReplyDeleteEvil or not..it was fun to read.
Looking forward to another "Ask The Ken" post.
"What kind of pet did you have when you were a kid?"
sometimes that question says a lot about a dude!
So that's what it's like at y'all's house...
ReplyDeleteYou two are a match made in heaven. You even speak alike!
ReplyDeletelove it! look forward to more. My hubby might ask Ken "what's it like when you finally reach the point where only a passenger van can get the job done? Can it ever be as cool as my really old but not yet classic mustang?"
