We completed our normal
Sunday chores and my friend departed for the great north. Our neighbors have
been encouraging us to jump in their pool.
Since yesterday was the fourth day in a row of 90 degree temperatures we
planned on taking them up on the invitation.
Before that though, since my
wife paroled me from weekend chores, I decided to take in one of my newest
movie acquisitions, the remake of Conan the Barbarian. My wife was her usual derisive self as far as
my movie preferences but thirty minutes in she drifted over, having
heard the stirring dialogue from the nearby kitchen. She ended up watching the rest of the movie
with me.
We were gearing up for our
delayed pool time when I walked out on the back deck to some truly menacing
skies. The neighbor mentioned we were
under a tornado watch. My timing truly
sucked yesterday.

| Buddy Cowering Under the Stairs |
As has become my lot in
life, my first concern was for the cowardly Buddy who was already starting to
cringe at the distant thunder. The
thundershirt went on but when the storm arrived, in spectacular fashion, he
could not be calmed. I found him trying
to burrow his way into the floor of my upstairs closet. He ended up tied in the basement and somehow
squirmed completely under the stairs.
This is a seriously deranged dog.
A chemical solution is in his near future.

| Emerging After the Storm |
I weathered the storm by
finishing off the second season of Falling Skies which my son encouraged me to
watch. I found myself getting
increasingly frustrated by the absolutely dumb decisions made by the characters. Of course they’re dealing with a genocidal
war with invading space aliens so maybe I should cut them some slack. I then watched the Red Sox dominated by an
Angels pitcher whom I thought was past his prime. To add insult to injury, my daughter blatantly
accused me of not knowing the Winklevoss twins were played by one actor. I was crushed at this heartless attack on my
movie watching prowess. I will try and
find some way to deal with the pain. :) My wife, acknowledging my severe depression, surprised
me with a batch of keto appropriate chocolate mousse – singularly and totally
awesome.(which of course came from my daughter’s recipe)
