Back from Sodus, NY

Well, Wendy said she survived my 15 years renunion and all of the activities that were involved but I had a good time. It was great to see some faces from yester-year. People I used to love being around and have a beer with. Seom people have changed a lot and some have not. All in all it was an enjoyable experience.

David, a.k.a Sweet D, left a comment on my previous post and I could not agree more. Life goes so fast but we should always cherish the good times and those we love being around. Whether it's friends or family moments from this past weekend I will remember forever. I hope everyone from this past weekend has a renewed interest in keeping in touch. It would be great to keep a good thing going.

Going Back to S-O-D-U-S

Well, this is it, my 15 year renunion approaches faster than I ever would have imagined. I looked at the RSVP list and there are some names on there I am surprised to see and some I am not. I feel a little nervous because I have not seen most of my former classmates in 15 years. Having said that I am looking forward to seeing some people I used to like hanging out with.

Besides the renunion I am looking forward to hanging out with my folks. Being at home is always so relaxing and it makes me wish I had family closer. However, maybe I would not cherrish the time I do get to spend with my family as much? I cannot answer that because it is how our family has always operated ever since I was a wee lad. My grandparents did not love close and neither did my aunts and uncles.

The other thing I am looking forward to is playing golf with my father. Sodus Bay Heights is whereI learned to play golf and I always love going back there to play every now and again. I never realized how hard SBHGC was until I moved and played golf courses people thought were hard and I thought they were easy!

First Time Out For Owen

So last night was a momentous occasion but not for good reasons. We are in the belief that Owen should eat what we eat since he has teeth and can chew etc. Well, last night that was not working very well so we had to have some recourse. Owen, after much debate as to whether or not he was going to eat anything, decided he was going to throw his fork at Wendy. Wendy replies "That is enough!" I grab Owen, put him in a chair facing the wall and told him to stay there.

Well of course since his world has now ended he wails but stuff his whole hand in his mouth while he is still crying. So out comes this whimper more or less instead of a full fledged cry. He also does his best not to face us. He clearly is facing 180 degrees away from the dinner table.

After a period of time I go and pick him up and he immediately puts his head on my shoulder. The other funny thing he does is deliberately not look at Wendy. Every time I turn so he can look at her he would pick up his head and look the other way. Finally he did not feel like lifting his head up anymore so he gives Mom the serious stink eye since she is the one who clearly ruined his life!

So what did Owen eat do you say? Avocado and cheese, what a meal.

Bob and Lisa Have Come and Gone

Bob and Lisa came and went over the weekend and it felt like a whirlwind. I wish weekends were longer and I wished Bob and Lisa could have stayed longer. We always have fun when they are here. We ate like crazy people too. Mohito Chicken on Saturday and Ribs on Sunday, what a feast.

Last night Julia and Kristi came over fro some play time. The kiddies ran all over the house tiring each other out and I know that Owen slept very well last night. I would imagine Julia did too.

Another random story since this post is already a disjointed mess of words. This morning the most bizarre thing happened at work. I was preparing my morning coffee and out of the corner of my eye I see this huge shape careening towards the window next to where I am standing. The next thing I know I hear THUNK! A crazy kamikaze Canadian goose crashed into window right next to my head. I quickly run outside and it is getting up and shaking it's head trying to figure out what happened. I start laughing as do a few other people who were nearby. I watch the bird for the next few minutes and it just stands in place probably trying to figure out what the heck just happened. Craziness to start a Monday morning.
