Father’s Day Gift 2025
Updating my hiking log, a Rite In Rain notebook, using a Rite In The Rain mechanical pencil, both gifts from Number One Son, Sean, for Father’s Day. Thanks, Sean! I’ve been using a Rite In The Rain notebook to log my hikes after watching My Darling B log all her gardening notes in the same Read.

book meet nose
Our oldest son, Sean, was such a dedicated bookworm when he was a lad. When Sean’s nose was in a book, he was not very easily distracted from it. It’s not a stretch to say that you could drop a grand piano from a great height to crash land on the pavement right in front Read.

when goats attack
Story time with Uncle Knuckles: The Goat That Ate Sean’s Hand I don’t know why they puts goats in petting zoos, do you? Goats are really creepy-looking animals. They’re kind of skeletal, covered with boney bumps, they’ve got demon eyes, and they’re always jerking around as if their own personal invisible devil is jabbing them Read.

kegle
The other day I peed my pants like a little boy and survived to tell the tale. It all started with breakfast at the Avenue Club, a venerable Madison supper club on East Washington Avenue.

bourbon jenga
We played Bourbon Jenga last night, which is like regular Jenga but with cherry-infused bourbon. You can use regular bourbon if you like; it doesn’t have to be infused with cherries. It doesn’t have to be bourbon, either, but then it probably wouldn’t make sense to call it Bourbon Jenga. You still could call it Read.

Shimoda salmon festival
Let’s Go To The Shimoda Salmon Festival With The O-Family! I think it was only a week or two after we got here, but that could be my addled memory making a hash again out of everything I’ve ever seen. Anyway, we heard about the salmon festival, where you pay a couple hundred yen to Read.

The O-Folk in Ireland
Just yesterday, Tim was asking me about our trip to Ireland: Where we went, what we did, will we ever eat smoked salmon as great as that again? I could easily answer the last question (sadly, no), but to answer the first two questions I had to dredge the backwaters of my memory, hardly the Read.
