Thoughts on the Day

  • The new raised beds for tomatoes and chilis are done.  
    • All they need now is dirt and plants, but that’s Irish Woman’s job.
  • Boo spent the afternoon collecting bugs, snails, and worms for his new biology collection.
    • He did, however, inform us that all of the ants he had collected in his little hand-held vacuum gun had escaped in his bedroom.
    • When he’s done playing with that thing, I’m going to steal it.  A coat of paint and removal of the clear plastic cone in the front will make it a pretty sweet ray-gun looking thing for other forms of entertainment.
  • Only I, while wearing frequently-reapplied sunblock and a hat, could get a sunburn on a cloudy day.
  • When your teenage daughter asks if what you’re having her do is “one of those character-building things”, then you know you’re doing it right.
    • Irish Woman and I had one of the most politically-incorrect conversations we’ve ever had while supervising Girlie Bear as she hauled gravel down to the garden area.
    • It was mostly quotes from Blazing Saddles and involved singing.
  • Girlie Bear went to a sleep-over this evening after working like a dog all day.
    • I have no expectation that she’ll be the first one to conk out, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
    • She wore one of her hippie skirts tonight, but topped it off with an NRA tee-shirt.  That’s daddies little fashion plate.

    I maintain that somebody needs to make an SPF Bulletproof sunblock. I have the same kind of problems.

    A hippie skirt AND an NRA shirt? DB and IW must be doing something right.
