Lisa's birthday was low key but went well. She went with Smiley on his class trip to the pumpkin farm, and then we just chilled out at home. No one offered to take the kids off our hands, killing our plans for a dinner out, so I popped a roast and potatoes in the oven. It *should* have been ready by six, but finally finished around
nine. Oopsies, Chef. Because of this, the kids wound up eating frozen corn dogs and chocolate cake. In the end, not so bad an outcome, because it left the roast to be enjoyed by grown-ups later in the night.
Happy Birthday Lis!

A column of mine appears in the
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel today. The editor wrote me the following after she read my submission:
Dan, what a wonderful column! I read it start to finish in seconds because I kept wanting to read the next line and find out where you were going. It just brought a little light to my day.
As you can imagine, I was very touched by her words. Go on, buy a copy dangnabbit!
w00t! You are getting to be quite the regular with the columns, when can I expect you to get a byline ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Lisa. Glad you all had a nice night, even if you didn't get to go out.
