Good morning! It is Sunday, June 19, 2022, and today is Fathers’ Day in the US. It’s going to be a good one, and it’s going o to be a hot one.
My wife and kids are going to spoil me today, and I’ll respectfully relish every moment. Lisa got up early and got some things done around the house, including some cleanup in the living room in anticipation of the new television arriving this morning (yeah, I’m a little excited about that… and I get to hear my wife say something like, “Bob, that thing is huge!” for the first time in my life). The delivery crew always calls before they deliver, so we’ll have a few minutes to get the dogs out in the backyard… but we might have to put Rosy and Lily in their kennel. Lily has figured out how to get out of the backyard, either by squirming through a hole in the fence or a hole under the deck.
I haven’t made coffee yet this morning… I should do something about that.
Lisa is planning a breakfast of corned beef hash and eggs, a longtime favorite. Lunch will be leftovers from last night – takeout from Jade Garden, and tonight, the grand finale of the day, filet mignon, potatoes, and bacon-wrapped asparagus on the grill.
I think the guys are getting together this afternoon for a little gaming, so I’ll jump in with them for a bit as well.
I’ll probably close out the day with a trip to the pool before bedtime. Sometimes it’s nice to go out and just float under a star-filled sky.
Tomorrow combines a couple of noteworthy dates – it’s a federal holiday with Juneteenth celebrations, and it is also the 21st birthday of my youngest, my son Dane. I think taking the afternoon off might be called for, and I’ve got the time off in the bank.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
