For several days last week Grandsons Dominic and Thomas (yes that is Tommy’s real birth name) helped your Mom create something like the City’s Botanical Gardens. Getting rid of weeds. Re-arranging plants. Cutting hedges. And spreading mulch (40 bags worth). I was exhausted watching them.
I got my Green Bay Packers financial information. I am invited to the annual meeting in July. It is held at Lambeau in the stands. Last year it was hot and humid. The year before it rained. No, I am not going. The Packers never listen to my recommendations anyway. I see that David Kohler (of Kohler Company fame) is on the ballot for Packer Board of Directors. Does David know anything about football? I guess I am just jealous. Doesn’t anybody with “blue collar” credentials like me ever get elected to the Board.
Country Music USA begins today in Oshkosh. Just as house trailers are a “lightning rods” for tornatos, the Country Music 5 day concert draws rain. It is always plagued by rain, wet grounds and hot weather. Yep, this year will be the same. Remind me to never buy tickets in advance.
Grasshopper No.4 got to visit his company’s manufacturing plant in Louisiana. Word is that the plant will never be the same after his visit. The plant is in the same city that features the home of the “Duck Dynasty”. You know that Discovery Channel TV series that features red neck millionaires that sell Duck calls and sport long ugly beards. I think they belch and fart too. Grasshopper No.4 picked up hats featuring Duck Dynasty for Dominic and Tommy. Prize possessions if you will!
Go forth and make me proud!
Love,
Dad
