I cashed my State Tax Refund check at McDonald’s yesterday!
In all the years of picking teams in the NCAA tournament, I have never headed into the Final Four weekend without a team still competing for the big prize. Yep, I’m “dead in the water”. Virginia let me down.
You could have lost your Dad yesterday. I went for my morning walk at Fox River Mall. As I arrived, I noticed there were no cars in the parking lot! I chalked it up to the “Easter Holiday weekend”. I was able to walk into the Mall thanks to an employee from the “Limited” holding the door open. The employee said the Mall access was restricted because there had been an “incident” overnight near the food court. If I entered I would be walking at my own risk. My first thought was that ISUS had come to the local mall and blown up a local store. No, I ruled that out because there would have been SWAT teams and fire trucks. Maybe there had been a shooting? Maybe ….. ? Just then one of the Mall Security teams spotted me and escorted me out of the building. The Mall was in lock-down. I should never have gotten in. A “Crime Scene Investigative Team” was on sight and they were in charge. Really? Some A–hole or group of A–holes had screwed up my morning routine. So I went to plan B. Our treadmill.
Turns out some 16 year old kid with a half developed brain broke into the Mall and headed for the retail outlet Zumiez. He broke a window and maybe stole a few items. What could he steal? Freaky shirts? Skate Boards? He is being charged with 11 criminal counts. I know, I know. I’m being really insensitive. He probably came from a broken home and is not responsible for his actions. I need to be more understanding.
Your Mom and I spent Easter was with Grasshopper No.1 and husband. Bar-B-Que ribs. Grilled chicken wings. Good stuff! All calories had been removed.
March is slipping away. No remorse!
Love,
Dad
