  Hot Day…Days

  

  It is starting to get warm, and it is really getting warm here in this house, as the A/C is out. If dealing with a little guy is tough, dealing with a youngster who is hot is even more of a good time. Cold baths and Otter pops can only cool you for so long, and it doesn’t really work well …

  Slow day

  

  Well, today was a slow day. My son has been fighting off some allergies (“Thanks, dad, for the suckie genes.”) So, he has been a little on the slow side.

For Monday night Football, the trio–Al Michaels, Frank  Gifford, and Dan  Dierdorf–was equally as good in my eyes. …
