Today since I was off and it was my grandfather's birthday we went down to see him. His local paper did a really nice story about him turning 94 and some of the things he has done. It was sweet and he was touched. He was in a really good mood which is rare. His food mood was tinged with a bit of sadness because...

Hope everyone had a good fourth. Mine was pretty good. I grilled a bunch of meat and the wife countered my meat buffet with tons of veggies an a strawberry rhubarb pie. Strawberry rhubarb pie is one of the things on my last supper list. The girls had a ball and even treethingblue's daughter made it to the fireworks this time. The end of fireworks...

Happy fourth y'all. Mmmm. Explosions and meat here I come.

One more day til the fourth. Even with a pop up funeral party I should still get off at a decent time. I managed to get off early today to take the Ziz to a birthday party. It was for the child of friends of ours from North Carolina.
I was glad I went because the party was a little sparse. The old biddies bounced...

Well yesterday kicked my ass. It started early and ended late and in between sucked balls. I was awakened at 6 am to a call telling me that one of my guys got a DUI. He got his DUI after celebrating another of my guys 21st birthday. Mr. 21 called in sick at 4:30 am all wasted. The message was priceless but the KM decided...

Yep I got new shoes. I got new work shoes which is going to be awesome, though this last pair only lasted a year instead of two. I have been working too much. I also found and bought just some regular life shoes and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Crazy good. And I like the look of them which is...

And I'm back. Everything went great. Probably one of the best years so far. Since we didn't have the girls to get ready in the morning the wife got to come in early with me everyday. I got to her a bit by saturday but she was a trooper. Today I was back to work. I guess it was a bit of a clusterfuck while...

I am over half way through the cooking deal. Everything has turned out well so far. The wife is a bit weary of waking up at quarter to five everyday but she is a trooper. Her desserts have been a hit. Tonight she made an applesauce gingerbread cake, it was amazing. I get a kick out of watching people eat. I like watching kids try...

Well tomorrow I go to cook for the Quakers for a week. It will be nice to be off work even if, as everyone keeps telling me, I AM just going to work in a different place. It will be a bunch of fifteen hour days but it is a totally different deal. It will be good to spend a chunk of time with the...

Happy Father's Day all. Mine has started out pretty well. The wife woke me up in my favorite way and the girls got me breakfast and new nubby Adidas sandals. The rest of my day is unplanned just the way I like it.

Crazy day at work. We had a summer day camp group in this morning . There were about 35 of them and they all got a t shirt and a tour and got to make their own pizza. The were mostly 3-5 year olds with a hand full of older kids. It was nuts I was glad they made my right hand man deal with...
