June 20th, 6:09 PM marked the time that the north pole was tilted for maximum reception of sunlight. Yep, the longest “day” of the year.
June 20th was also your Mother’s birthday. We are all happy to help her celebrate because without her, we wouldn’t exist! The celebration will end with a dinner at some fine dining establishment this weekend.
We went to see the “Billy Elliot” play at the PAC last night. It is about a young boy (11 years old). He becomes interested in ballet and tap dancing. Billy’s Dad wants him to be a boxer. So there we have it. It is either Dad passing on his high testosterone interests or ballet dancing. Dancing wins. Dad is happy. Billy Elliot is happy. The town where Billy lived is happy. Everybody is happy. Happy. Happy. Happy. Too bad you can’t bottle “happy” and re-sell it.
Grasshopper No.5 embarks on a new job on Monday. It has something to do with computers, software, computer games, networks and stuff. I don’t understand all that electronic stuff but it sounds like a challenge. I hope No.5 finds meaningful envolvement. Isn’t that what we all do. We keep searching for the things that make us happy. There is that word “happy” again. Just take a “Billy Elliot Happy Pill”.
Grandson Tommy continues to improve his baseball skills. He anticipates throws. He hits line drives. I don’t think he has interest in dancing?
Enjoy the weather.
Love,
Dad
