Good grief, I must be old.\u00a0 I feel like I got hit by a small car.\u00a0 Float Trip was good.\u00a0 Yes, it did rain quite a bit.\u00a0 But hey, we were in canoes, we were gonna get wet anyway.\u00a0 Yes, a tornado came a little too close for comfort, but it just added to the excitement.\u00a0 Highlights that can actually be documented in a relatively clean blog?\u00a0 Well, those are few.\u00a0 I saw my first (non-captive) bald eagle, which was rather exciting.\u00a0 It was an even more patriotic event when it took an enormous crap right in front of our canoe.\u00a0 Ever seen a bald eagle crap?\u00a0 Impressive.\u00a0 There was a rather humorous exchange with the campground owner when he came flying down the hill to warn us of the impending tornado, but that one loses something without the Ozark accent so I’ll skip it.\u00a0 Oh, special thanks out to Zim for letting me beg a bed in his nice warm DRY camper for the weekend.\u00a0 It was definitely NOT tent weather.\u00a0 I expect that’s about all the detail I need to relate.\u00a0 I am trying to flush the memory of some things I saw and heard from my mind, and re-hashing them would only lengthen the cleansing period.<\/p>\n
We got back Saturday, and after cleaning up I summoned every last bit of strength I had to go to the Royals game.\u00a0 Some friends of ours from Nebraska were in town to see the game, so when Martins offered us some tickets it provided a quite convenient means to hook up with them.\u00a0 I made it to the sixth inning, but then ran out of gas.\u00a0 After the game we scampered back to midtown and had a late dinner at Cantina Del Rey up the street from our house.\u00a0 With a full belly and battered body, I rolled myself down the street to our house and slept for about twelve hours.<\/p>\n
Sunday I tried to rally a bit, with extremely limited success.\u00a0 Our friends John & Susan called and wanted to go to Grand Street Cafe for their Easter brunch.\u00a0 Sounded like a tasty menu, so we headed that way.\u00a0 Luckily Susan called before we got there, and when we found out it would be a three hour wait we changed dining plans.\u00a0 We opted for some BBQ down at Fiorella’s, always a solid bet.\u00a0 After that, well, I watched the Royals game and Masters.\u00a0 That’s some boredom for you right there.\u00a0 That’s actually the first golf I’ve ever watched at home, and almost surely the last.\u00a0 It got me through the afternoon though, so it served a purpose.\u00a0 With nothing else on the tube that I could find, we started on a puzzle.\u00a0 Yes, a good ol’ jigsaw puzzle.\u00a0 I am that old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
