Dr Walter Bishop

If you haven’t had the opportunity, you should really check out Fringe.

Fringe is, essentially, the new X-Files. But what really stands out, is Walter Bishop.

Walter Bishop is a genius. And absolutely insane.

Yet, where the typical mad scientist is portrayed with meniacal laughter. Walter Bishop is just plain INSANE. Thoughts are rarely cohesive. And, at the end of the day, he’s the only one that has a chance of understanding what’s going on in the show.

Been a busy start of the week.

Between soccer practices and pictures, and everything, we were in the car all day Monday.

So, we’re driving down the road, and I turn on the news at 6 PM. There, they tell a news story about thousands of dead birds washing up on the shores of the Great Salt Lake.

Kyle looks over at me.

“DAD!”

“what?”

“OOOOOOhhh, WE NEED TO GET OUT THERE!”

“What?”

“We’ll just pick up those birds and let them rot somewhere! It will be great! Bird skeletons!”

Yeah…He’s coming along nicely.

No, I don’t have any intention of bringing diseased bird carcasses to rot in my back yard. I don’t care if they say it “can’t be transmitted to humans or pets”.
