It's Monday.

Not much to report, really. It's 80ish degrees, mild humidity (60%), sun's out, a few clouds.

So maybe I'll go read a book.

Yeah...I like that idea.

Well, another date, another few dollars spent.

The zoo was excellent. Especially the mama tiger & her three cubs. Two of the three would play in the pool, bathing & splashing & having a grand ol' time. One did not. He stared at the water, tested it with his paw, hissed at it, absolutely refused to bathe.

Mama did not like that. She was on...

As I sit here watching more Moose & Squirrel, I wonder which cartoon character started the whole "xxx J. xxx". Off the top of my head, here are four.

Michigan J. Frog
Rocket J. Squirrel
Bullwinkle J. Moose
Homer J. Simpson

Homer's middle name is an homage to Rocky & Bullwinkle, so he's out. The frog appeared roughly 10-15 years before Rocky & Bullwinkle, but...

In case you were wondering, the turkey turned out quite well.

Only took four-and-a-half hours to cook it too.

Now to clean up the mess that remains.

Hmm...it's Friday.

Tomorrow is the Alumni Weekend up in Fenton. Being the semi-prosperous pseudo-alumnus that I am, I will be there.

Sunday is Cooking the 25lb Christmas Turkey Day. It's been in my freezer since mid-December, so I figure it's about time I cooked it.

So that leave today, May 21st. Whatever shall I do tonight? Go to Royal Oak? Go to Fenton &...

Twenty-four years ago today, Mount St. Helens blew her top. And side.

I was yay big. *holds hands not-so-far-apart*

I had a full beard though.

As promised, here are the DETAILS of my weekend.

Friday--Hot Date. Nothing more will be said.

Saturday--Almost made it. Almost. I had just finished making breakfast when I got a call. "I'm stuck in traffic. Entertain me." So I did. Packing, showering, eating, et al, all fell by the wayside so I could entertain the lovely lady stuck in traffic.

I am back from Prom.

Since this is Recovery Day, I'm going to bed now.

A proper weekend update is being formulated as this is typed. Stay tuned for a more in-depth report at a later time.

I owe you folks an explanation of my hatred of my sister's SO.

This boy charges my sister gas $$$. If she offers to chip in, fine. But demanding compensation from your own companion? Idiotic at the best.

He bought a truck on her credit--yet she cannot drive it. Correction--he does not ALLOW her to drive it. Hides behind the statement "You're not on the...

I'm back in the rainy state of Michigan!

Ahh...rest & relaxation after a whirlwind four days in Colorado...

Details will be forthcoming. Right now, I have dinner to cook & phone calls to make.

So I sit here, enjoying some of the Nimble Fingered Gentleman: Syncopation for Piano by Billy Mayerl (performed by my uncle), unwinding before I have to

PACK

for my trip to Colorado. Yippee.

I also have to

WASH THE DISHES

because who wants to come home to fuzzy dishes? Not me.

That's about it. Four days of fun with the family in scenic Colorado. High-altitude...
