I'm up here in alaska.. it was spring time until last night. We just got 4 inches of snow. How's that for a posbang killer...

Yeah, but that's Alaska.
It snowed the previous two days in Ann Arbor.

yuck
We're flying back to michigan next week to visit my family (in the thumb). My Dad has been sending pictures of flooded fields and roads everywhere. Sounds like a crummy spring there so far. We were hoping to go to a tigers game while we were there. I miss sitting in the warm sun with a beer and watching a lazy 9 innings..

Let me first say that I have
Let me first say that I have a lot of sympathy for kids in terrible circumstances like that. I've volunteered at orphanages in third-world areas in 2 different countries (I don't think Honduras and Mexico are technically third-world countries, but the areas I was in definitely were), so I've even gone beyond just sympathy and done something to help out.
That aside, I'm not trying to make light of the kids' circumstances. I just got a hearty laugh imagining those kids being so happy to see food we consider super basic. If anything, it's sobering because we could see a scenario like this actually being true.
April 26th, 2013 at 1:41 PM

Weekend Plans...
On Saturday, the kids have a party - their own, this time. We're hosting a small gathering for their school friends at Pump It Up in Taylor. After that, we're taking them to Build-A-Bear at Twelve Oaks for a toy of their choosing. After we get home, I plan to burn my MasterCard.
On Sunday, it's yard work and beer mainly. Because I live near woods and therefore leaves - dead or alive - fall throughout the year, I have to rake out several flower beds. I do plan to start with mainly yardwork and make the gradual shift to beer as the afternoon wears on.
April 26th, 2013 at 1:36 PM
#21
I believe it is customary and
I believe it is customary and necessary to always have beer while doing any yardwork.
The weather appears to be nice, at least through tomorrow. Possibly some golf in the near future. I also have a potroast simmering at home today, so add some hearty sides to that tonight with a solid beer to wash it down and enjoy the evening. Spring is just about damn here in Michigan, which also means the campus is starting to display the seasonal "scenary"

weird day
it's beautiful out, I'm still laughing my butt off about Michael Shannon's dramatic reading of the sorority letter.
Then, all of that is tempered by having to have a great dog, a truly great dog, euthanized at 2 pm.
Going outside to dig a hole right now. Sucks on so many levels.

It's such a strange thing. You know it's coming at some point with an older dog, but it's usually in the abstract.

Studying for finals. Fortunately, only have two.
Also, watching the NFL Draft and waiting to see who is lucky enough to grab Denard / seeing who my Eagles take for the new Chip Kelly era. Could those two events happen at the same time? One can dream....

I seriously
have no idea whatsoever what I am doing this weekend. I am the father of an only child, a 5 year old son, and anybody with an only child can tell you that your child does not want to do anything with you, they want to do things with other people, or they want to play their f#%king DS. As I have not lined up any plans with other people this weekend as of yet, the plan right now is to convince my son that I am fun and that we can have fun by ourselves, watch him get bored and be like "I am going to get my DS," and then I grab a beer and try to think of a way to "figure this shit out." No luck yet.
Then I will probably just leave my wife to deal with it and go play golf.
April 26th, 2013 at 1:28 PM

Not A DS...
...but my kids were given iPad minis by my parents because they want their grandchildren to be exactly like I was when my father brought the Apple IIe home those many years ago - absolutely transfixed and unavilable for things like picking up their toys or helping with stuff around the house.
That, or my parents are looking for someone who will play networked games with them since no one in Canada Creek (up by Atlanta, MI) seems to have the knack.

Bowling...
First and foremost, happy birthday!
I actually took my team bowling this week for a nice pizza lunch / decompress the other day. As expected, I am the worst bowler in the group, so my grandfather's skill did indeed skip a generation. That being said, it may very well have been the first time I broke 100 in two straight games. I did, however, kick butt at Pac-Man in the arcade on the way out. I set a terrible example for my team admittedly.

Also i had homemade chicken nuggets for lunch. Chopped up a breast, marinated in soy sauce and savory, pan fried in butter, and bathed in a mix of horsey sauce, buffalo sauce, and ground red pepper before pulling out of the pan- so it would bind with the chicken chunks. Mmmmmm
