Firsts

This will be an abbreviated post as I’ll be loading up the car shortly to venture north to my hometown to look at houses.  We need to clear out since a couple showings of our own house are going down today.  We’ll check out six homes while we’re up there and end the day by waking up Keene Friend.  We’ll also check on the availability of the Cantankerous One fresh from his lionization of his favorite Yankee.

Street Lights over the Bar - Who Knew?

First Friday was a bit different yesterday since my excellent boss was out of town but the rest of the crew more than rose to the occasion.  It was strange to be surrounded by women (not that I’m complaining) for our weekly review of the week that was.  It was pointed out that Brew City had street lights over the bar.  I’ve been in that place for nearly ten years now and had never noted this.  Women notice the weirdest things.  My gaze always locked on the taps available.

Surrogate Grammy Time with Neighbors

I returned home to find my wife escorting the neighbor kids around a raspberry patch.  The neighbor was handling the twin boys while she squired their older sisters.  This has to be the cutest family and they provide my wife with the much needed (yet unfulfilled) “grandma” fix that our own progeny have yet to supply.

My Date Last Night

We then went out for dinner and the Friday magic that is Zorba’s pizza.  We felt we owed the ABFA a visit to Ronnie’s afterwards for the rapidly dwindling ice cream opportunity.  We did confirm that they don’t close for the season for another couple weeks so she just might get one more opportunity.

Well I’ve got to go load the car and hope Buddy’s head doesn’t explode when he sees me move his cage into the car.  That dog just loves a car ride.
