Grandson Mitchell made newspaper headlines in Middleton. He is a junior and playing both offense and defense for the football team. Pictures enhance the newspaper article. It must be his fine inherited athletic genes.
Grandson Tommy has played his first Youth Football Game. We haven’t seen him play yet but I’m sure his height serves him well. I think this is the first year his Dad has not been the Head Coach or Assistant Coach of the Youth Squad. I’m sure Dad wanders the sidelines.
Grasshopper No.1 dumped “Hell On Wheels” onto her Vudu account. Your Mom and I just finished the first 3 seasons. I guess we have to wait for Season 4 until it finishes it’s current run on AMC. The main character is a good looking, tough minded guy named Cullen Bohannon. He lost his wife and child in the Civil War and is fresh from killing all the responsible Union soldiers. He is my hero. He has the ability to be kind and understanding but can kill “evil”. Don’t pi– him off. Bohannon is my kind of guy.
For some reason “Breaking Bad” has not grabbed me like “Hell On Wheels”. I am stuck at the end of Season 2 (out of a total of 6 seasons). I’ll save future viewing until cold, cold January.
This is “remorse” weekend. It is Labor Day. The families that can afford it all head for lake cottages. One more big Summer “splash” (get it: cottage, water, splash). It signals the end of Summer. I sort of miss it. I sort of don’t. I want to get invited by my kids to their cottages.
Love,
Dad
