Road Trip, Reloaded

The aforementioned road trip has been reloaded for August 8.
Providing my little bride will still let me drive her car.

Weather Phrase

Just in from Channel 4’s morning weather report:
Thick humidity is in the air around Reston and Loudoun County.
What is this? Fog? I’m not sure; I’ll just be glad when summer’s over.

Happy Birthday, Girls!

Happy Birthday to Miss Emily Slusher, who turns 6 today.
Happy Birthday to my lovely wife, who turns something a tad north of 6 today.
My love to you both.-k-

The Pigman has Landed

My coworker having safely arrived back in NoVa from his vacation, which by now, given where we work, is just a memory, I took delivery on the 6-pack of Pigman’s sauce that he was kind enough to bring back for me.
No Boston Butt or other good hunk of pork is safe now. Condiments are just [...]

Silver linings, etc…

Shortest Trip Ever

The previously referenced road trip has been postponed for a week or two. Work related items intervened, and we couldn’t get the hoped for Friday afternoon rolling start.

Perfectly Understandable

Angry man shoots lawn mower for not starting
And, according the woman who reported the incident, “he was intoxicated”.
Again, perfectly understandable.

Mule

He’s bringing me some sauce from the Pigman. We ordered a few bottles by phone recently, but with the [...]

Road Trip

Not a Search for America Tour by a long shot, just a weekend road trip, which commences mid-afternoon tomorrow. Just my little bride and me in the Saturn.
The cat will be tended by our loyal neighbor three doors down, who ministers to him on our longer journeys. I’m hoping we can find [...]
