Father’s Day Loot

Along with some nifty cards and a DVD, Pattie and Alex got me a T-shirt that reads “I Fought the Lawn and the Lawn Won.” I have been happily wearing this shirt all day and occasionally breaking into song with the shirt’s refrain. On one such occasion, Pattie said, “I should make a note, what you really want are puns.”

I said, “I can’t believe it’s taken you ten years to figure that out.”

Ah well, the grass is starting to grow, I’ve had chopped pork from my favorite area BBQ restaurant, and life is good.

Even though we nearly lost another balloon in the ceiling fan.

Happy Father’s Day, everyone.
