| ABFA, Favorite Son, and Wife at Meola's Yesterday |
Despite the coating of sleet and ice
that was falling victim to the onslaught of an actual spring day yesterday the
first outdoor ice cream order of the year went down yesterday afternoon. With the
assistance and moral support of that world renowned expert on frozen lactose,
none other than the ABFA, we finally patronized Meola’s Ice Cream Shop in nearby
West Boylston. Every time I’ve driven by it I’ve thought that we needed to get
the ABFA there. Yesterday provided the perfect opportunity as she and the
Favorite Son journeyed down to welcome home my Favorite Panamanian.

They brought grandpuppy Riggins, fresh
off his ignominious defeat at the hands of the ABFA’s parents’ cat. He seemed
to bounce back from this embarrassing loss of canine face and gave Buddy a run
for money in the attention department. He also tried to help my wife in the home
decorating area by moving several low hanging items around usually with my son
in hot pursuit. It was a great afternoon and not because everything was
melting. There is an undeniable medicinal effect to having the people you care
most about in the world in close proximity.

| Granddaughter in Flight |
We finally were able to get that social
butterfly, The First Blog Reader, to slow down long enough to have a FaceTime
call with us. She was part of a 2d Generation Curbside reunion in a nearby park
and had a lot more important things to do than chat on the phone. Earlier in
the day we had one of those “moments” on another call with her. That call
caught us pulling into the grocery store. My wife expounded on the fact that I had
done a piss poor job of laying in appropriate victuals for her return which was
of course compounded by the storm which kept us inside for a time. After
hearing her abuela complain about the lack of food in the house our
granddaughter began offering us some of her food through the video screen. I
think this young lady may indeed be something very special.
