We got notice yesterday that my brother Jerry’s wife Jane had passed away on the morning of July4. Our sympathy goes out to Jerry and his whole family. Jane had endured several heart operations in recent years. Sometimes the “parts” just wear out. I’m guessing that visitation will be on Thursday.
Your Mom and I used Marcus Theater gift cards to see the movie Tarzan over the weekend (so it was free). We had lounge chairs with reclining capability. Beverage holders. 3-D. After the movie, your Mom said she liked Tarzan. I said I did too. Then she said, “no I really liked Tarzan”. Needless to say she hurt my feelings. She don’t remember but there was a time I was “buff” like Tarzan.
Mom and I were invited to grill out with Grasshopper No.1 and husband Tom on the 4th. Tom experimented with some exotic concoction using a head of cabbage. The cabbage was mounted on top of an open can of beer (and basted with Bar-b-que sauce) Apparently the head of cabbage drew the beer into it’s body with a capillary action. Beer. Cabbage. Bar-b-que sauce. People will do anything to have a beer. No, I didn’t get any.
Grasshopper No.4 got free golf lessons and a free rebuilt shaft on his driver thanks to Grasshopper No.3 plowing snow for Bob Burns Golf Business over recent years. No.4 now goes to the golf course with new confidence and a rebuilt shaft. Bob Burns indicated that sometimes the “improvement comes from the Indian and sometimes the Indian needs a better arrow”. Here comes the Acewisdom. If you are struggling with your golf game, it ain’t the arrow.
I dropped out of the National Hot Dog Eating Contest after two “dogs”. I let Joey Chestnut win with 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Hey, I don’t need the glory of being “Hot Dog Champion”.
Enjoy the week!
Love,
Dad
