Bug Bites from Cap

A sample of some of the bug bites from a week away at camp. Yes, they wore bug spray. I'd hate to see what they looked like without it.

Smiley and I went to Mass, and afterwards we lit two candles. One for his health, and one for YaYa's travels. It is what Lisa endearingly calls "Catholic Voodo," but I'll take all the help I can get.

I'm Getting Fed Up

My issues with the Polish tradition site continue. I may just drop out. I am, if nothing else, ideologically consistent. America first. These people are obnoxious. Your genetic past is not paramount.

Replacing the Front Gate

Polish AMERICAN

On a Polish heritage site I frequent members are shaming those who call their Grandma "Bucia/Busha" saying it an American bastardization of the true word. Yeah, one problem. I'm not Polish. I'm an American of Polish heritage, and if it's good enough for this country it's good enough for me.

History you don't read about in School

History you don't read about: At 2:32 pm on March 1, 1954, four Puerto Rican separatists launched a terror attack on the floor of the House, shooting five Congressmen,  one critically. They were related to the same group that conspired to assassinate Eisenhower four months previously.

Backwash

Sometimes I backwash just so the kids don't drink my soda #AlwaysThinking

The Meeting Spot

Picked the two youngest girls up from camp then took the family (and niece Stacey) to the George Webb's on Forest Home where I met Lisa in 1995. I'm seated in the exact seat,  as a matter of fact.

Walked Smiley home from drum class to stretch out my hip. Now watching the Brewers prospect we traded yesterday make his big league debut in the NY-Bos game. 

School Shopping

School supply shopping is done for the youngest three. It hurt our wallet, but at least it's done. #GoodJobMamaSlap

The Blue Angels

The Blue Angels keep buzzing my house. It's like living in Sarajevo in the '90's.
