Thoughts on the Weekend

  • Getting up at 5 AM on a Saturday to go blueberry picking had best be the first step toward a batch or two of blueberry pancakes or muffins, or there will be one surly DaddyBear walking around on Sunday.
  • My wife is a genius.  She dressed Boo in a day-glo green shirt to go berry picking. That way we could find him against the dark green of the bushes and grass when he decided his foraging would be better accomplished two rows over.
  • I’m pretty sure that if Boo had eaten one more blueberry at the farm, he would have re-enacted one of my favorite scenes from Willy Wonka.
  • As mentioned yesterday, Boo got his first bowcaster.  Interestingly enough, he got it from his mother.  I am saving up to buy him his own miniature Wookie suit.
  • A Catholic Parish Picnic and Carnival in Southern Indiana is a lot like a small bierfest in Bavaria, complete with games and a beer tent.  
    • Of course, the Biermadchen at the church didn’t show as much cleavage as she would have if she was wearing a drindel.
  • Forgetting to take my arthritis medication on a day when I am going to be up and walking around for 12 hours straight wasn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
  • The offer to sleep in on Father’s Day meant being unconscious until 6:37 AM.  Hoopla!
  • I shouldn’t complain about the coffee at the IHOP.  I may be old and weak someday too.
  • The look on Girlie Bear’s face when I said that if she keeps her nose clean and the minivan lasts that long, then she could take it to college was priceless.  I think she was hoping to get the sporty little thing that Irish Woman drives.  Instead she shall get the noble steed, SilverRust, the minivan guaranteed to make her uncool.
  • Flexibility is important.  Torrential pop-up rainstorms means grilling steaks over charcoal turned into steaks grilled on a cast iron griddle.

    SilverRust will only be uncool until she realizes how many friends she can pack in there.
