I've spent hours trying to write 'about me' so I just gave up and you'll have to figure this out for yourself. Thanks for stopping in anyway!

Parental Visit

If you're a Yank, hopefully you all had a nice Independance day. If you're a foreigner living in the States, I hope you enjoyed your day off in the middle of the week (unless you had to work). If you're a foreigner and still living in a foreign land, I still appreciate you stopping by.

Mine consisted of listening to the neighborhood dogs freak out from all the fireworks exploding around at all hours of the day. Thankfully I don't have any pets, otherwise, I'm sure I'd have to conduct some form of damage control.

I also BBQ'd a Tri-Tip slab and it turned out perfect in spite of the fact that I didn't give it as much attention as I should've. Don't tell anyone I was multi-tasking, but I managed to get my place cleaned up as I anticipate a visit from my old man.

He's really saving my bacon by driving my children up here in his car. If he hadn't offered, I would have to finagle another few days off to drive down there and back (yeesh, no thank you to 16 hours of driving). Fortunately, my children offer better than average company while driving, so he'll stay entertained for the entirety of the 8 hour drive.

I anticipate that he's going to stay at my home, which means I've cleared up the obvious signs of me being a complete stoner. If his nose is really keen, he might be able to smell the remainder of that stanky bag I picked up a few weeks ago. Fortunately, the stank doesn't have my roommate reminding me how strong the scent is any longer, which means I probably don't have to answer the $1000 question 'Are you still smoking pot?'.

I'm pretty sure my Pa knows I still smoke the reefer. He doesn't approve, but I wonder if there's ever a possibility I could share a J with him. That would be really neat to do that one day, but I'm not counting on it.

He might stay a few days, and he says he also might take the 101 South along the coast, which is the 'long way'. One of these days, I'll take that route myself...one hears it's one hell of a beautiful drive, especially this time of year. Total convertable weather. Regardless, if he stays, I intend to take him to one of my fave restaurants. Hopefully he'll stick around a few days and we can spend some time doing some sight-seeing.

I also miss the hell out of my kids too, which is partly why I'm anxious for this day to end.

That's all for now. Enjoy your day/night/morning!

Enjoy your time with your rugrats mate. And maybe even with your father!
