Ahhh, fortune, you pain in the ass

March 21st, 2007 by Atomictumor

So, tomorrow is the planned excursion up to Asheville for MastaG and I to see Of Montreal

And, of course, today Pigpen had a temp of 99.3 under the arm.  Not totally alarming, but not exactly the circumstances in which I’m eager to be three hours away from him.  Frankly, I haven’t told the in-laws about it yet, but I reckon I’ll need to.  We had a big day today, with walks at the riverfront and Time-Out Deli (since we missed Monday’s visit).  He hasn’t hurled, and he’s acting fine.  In fact, I followed up on an early morning promise to take them bowling if they cleaned up some, and he did just fine.

And of course, like the Ghost Rider incident a few weeks ago, MastaG is damn near literally beside himself with anticipation to see the show.  He loves the new record, and has been telling me which song will be his favorite to see live (its different every time, like a Magic 8 Ball).

We’re going to play by ear, and see how it goes.  In the meantime, I’ll leave you with what Pigpen told me, as he looked so seriously at me across the little bowling table, sipping on his cup of water:

“Dad, I like to pee in the flowers.”

    I don’t know what to say really — trees, rocks, the swimming pool . . . they are all fun. It is almost like saying the grass is green.

    Any ole boy can pee in the “trees, rocks, the swimming pool.” It takes a real man to pee in the flowers.

    ….dude.

    Pigpen is not alone. I think I saw some of that in Savannah last weekend.

    Yeah, guys have it so easy.
    Girls always end up far in the woods - in the poison ivy.
