We are in a Holiday Inn in Toronto, Canada, waiting for a plane to take us to Ireland tomorrow. Life has been crazy hectic with last minute details, so we are sitting like a couple of vegetables, completely mellow with some cheap wine.
On our way here we stopped at Port Huron to set up our cell phones for Canada. Molly and Mitchell are cavorting about in Delaware. Stay with me here, Port Huron and Molly & Mitchell in Delaware tie together. Today was a major putt-putt golf day down in Ocean City with Anita, mostly to see if Mitchell was worthy of the task. While we were eating our ice cream in Port Huron, Molly sent a “guess where we are” picture. Which we immediately recognized as the iconic Ocean City bar, the Purple Moose. To put things in perspective, when Lise and I first started together 25 or so years ago she noted that I wore a Purple Moose T shirt at least once a week. Sometime more. When Molly sent her “where are we” picture, I got to send back from Port Huron a “look what I’m wearing” picture. Should I be worried that my daughter now habituates bars that I habituated 30 years ago?
Guess where we are?
Look what I’m wearing?
The other big doings around Okemos is that one of our yard Nazi neighbors called in a complaint about the brush pile and tall grass in our back yard. We came home from Oregon with a notice that we had a nuisance in our back yard and we had to clear it up or the township would come in and do it for us. And then make us pay for it. A lousy brush pile that the local critters just loved. It’s enough to make one go Libertarian. I am so ready to leave Okemos. So, between getting ready for our trip and sterilizing our yard we haven’t had time for much else. About the only other highlight would be our lizard Rover trying to evolve into walking upright. I recommend against evolving because it just means you will need to keep your back yard clean and tidy to not offend the yard Nazis.
Trying to evolve. Unlike the Republican Party.
