Grandpa Day; Part Duex



Most sequels stink. Empire Strikes Back; Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom; Clerks 2 (still funny, just not up to the first)...

Today, Ian says, "today is a great day!" to which I ask why and he says, "today is grandpa day!". Just like Reagan, Ian will be spending one day a week (well over the maximum Grandpa dosage, to be sure) with the crazy man. A good thing? Sure.

Reagan and my Dad got to bond back in her Grandpa Days. I would have loved to have one day to be spoiled by someone who does not have to fear the consequences (those who know my dad well will be laughing hysterically now as he is not the spoiler type; in fact, it is doubtful he'll even remember to feed Ian).

As is tradition, Day one of grandpa day involves a trip to where else? The casino. I kid you not. All right, it is the Indian Musuem at the casino that is interesting for adults. We'll see what Ian thinks.

I suspect Grandpa is going to need a nap at several points during the day. Hopefully, Ian doesn't mind driving...

Empire Stinks? Are you kidding me? That was the best of the 6.

If you do not like Empire, you probably like the cutsy little Ewoks and the blubbering bafoon Jar-Jar.

Oh here we go. It figures you would like empire. Empire was confused, messy, Mark Hamil had become hooked on a whole lot more than phonics. Just not a pretty sight.

What was the whole deal about luke seeing his own face under the slain Vaders face? Creepy.

The first one is always the best. You can quote me on that.

What is not to love? Han goes on Ice, Luke loses Lea, Luke loses his hand and the bad guys win. The anti-Hollywood ending. Perfect.

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
