Lids Up!

v



With Sophia safely away at Y camp, Merrick and I have the run of the house and we are just hanging out and doing dude stuff. Yesterday we were able to head over to the Packers training camp for more than an hour. The stands were packed but we found a nice shaded place on the bleachers that was no more than 20 feet from the quarterbacks tossing balls to Finley. Then the recievers came down to do their drills, so great seats and great players to watch. Could even hear Driver giving Cobb advice on turning without slipping. Merrick sucked down a can of pop and used his Clay Matthews mask for a fan, and kept asking when they were going to score a touchdown. It had also been a little while since Mitch had been fed so we head to a nearby field and tried to score some grasshoppers. I think the grasshoppers have gotten much faster and less plentiful since I was a kid, and we caught exactly none. We did score just short of a dozen Asian beetles so Mitch had some sustenance. Every other waking minute of the day was spent playing driveway hockey. We played about "thousand Million" games of pig and I think we played about 6 or 7 hours of hockey. Merrick slept through the night but crawled in bed with me about 6am to chastise me for not getting up early to go fishing. I didn't respond quickly enough so he said he was going to look for his rollerblades. I suspect there is more hockey in store for today.
