Day of the Father

I would have written this earlier but I was still recovering from all the fun of Father’s Day. I started Father’s Day weekend with a hockey tournament trip to Pennsylvania. Now I have heard many bad things about the people from Pennsylvania before but I have never really spent too long in the state. Now I have. TOO LONG. Let me just say that the people of West Virginia are getting a bum deal in the public eye. They have nothing on these dregs of society. What? I went to some hole in the wall, far out place? Nope. State capital. Harrisburg. Wow. I am just happy to be back in my own mixed up state.

So a loooong Saturday led to a truly marvelous Sunday. I got up and hit Mass at 7:30, then I came home and watched the little ones while the wife went to church. Here are some of the fun treats I got instead of breakfast in bed.

1. Laundry
2. Dishes
3. Sweeping
4. Vacuuming


You don’t know fun until you get to vacuum on Father’s Day. All this was followed up with a visit to the inlaws. This always means a visit with Nosaj because if there is free food, you know he is there. Actually for Nosaj the food over there is not really free. Somehow he has been made permanent grill boy for the inlaws. Now a more insecure Jiggy might be offended that they did not choose him to be a griller. That lasts for a smidgen of a second and then I jump back in the pool. Nosaj performed exceptionally well on this fine day. We had kabobs and they were delicious.



Only one acorn found in the grill this time. One day Nosaj is going to lift off that cover and be attacked by the squirrel family. I only hope I have my camera that day.
In another developing story, THIS type of beverage was seen being consumed by the father in law AND Nosaj. And just weeks after making fun of No Tastebuds Guy. More later.


Sunday night saw the baby with a high fever. I decided to take off Monday. My lack of desire to go to work turned that into taking the whole week off. Give me a couple hours and I will give you a post about the first few days of my Vacation at home.
